Ceilings and smoke

[ellenmillion]

Ow. Ow Ow Ow.

Our ceiling is finished except for one strip at the end! Yay!

My knees, shins and some spots on my hands are turning brown and purple. Yay?

My arms and shoulders scream in agony at the effort of lifting my coffee mug.

But our ceiling is basically done!

We also cleaned out the downstairs to prep for sheet rocking, took more loads of stuff to the connex box, loads of stuff to the dump (construction leftovers, mostly), and started on those bazillion teensy tasks to get the downstairs finished.

Today, it is smoky. And I don't mean a little. Woke up during the night struggling for clear air, can't see to the end of the driveway, everything tastes like smoke, the sun is an orange you'll never find in a crayon box.

Noon deadline today, have to run....

I was just remarking to someone that the smell of forest-fire smoke is one of the "smells" of summer from having spent so many summers growing up in Fairbanks. Last year we had a couple days with just the faintest tang in the air, and it made me all nostalgic.

That and the smell of sunscreen.... :)
