We Did Something

Ta-da!
We started to trim in the living room. We didn't finish, but it was a start.

We saw, what I'm afraid is, our annual mouse. Well, we saw two, so it may be an infestation. Neither of us has seen any since, but we cleaned the hell out of the house. Well, the kitchen and TV room. The places with the food.

CJ also installed some shelves in the basement. We were able to move a ton of stuff from the kitchen to the basement, making room to actually store things. Unfortunately, the good dishes are still on top of the fridge. We really need to do something about that...

Hostages

Those of us living in TO(M)H, and other parts of South Minneapolis, are being held hostage this weekend by a highway.

Yes, a highway.

See 35W is our main highway. This weekend it is closed. As in, totally unusable. As in, we aren't going anywhere. There's the bridge collapse to the North and they are closing down the highway starting a few blocks to the South.

I guess that means we will have to do some work on the house, or something...
