I’m spending the weekend tidying up our basement apartment. We have friends coming into town for a few nights who are going to use it and then we have a prospective renter trying it out next week. My big project is to replace the countertop. My second big project is to not get frustrated by replacing the countertop.

Pip almost gave us heart attacks last night – for about 20 minutes, he was running around wanting to eat grass, plants, the string off of an apron and I thought he was dying or sick or having a panic attack – but it turns out it is “normal Pip behavior” (N.P.B. for short). The pets are giving us a run for our money, though Jeremy is doing most of it.
