everything but the kitchen sink

This is not life, this is a study on chronic exhaustion. Work has been crazy lately, as we rolled out the big portal update that we've been working on for months - of course, without the pilot that we've been asking for. Now we have to deal with all the feedback that's coming in at once, instead of using it to help us iterate in a test environment.

Susan's parents are fixing up their new house at a feverish pace, and we're helping them where we can. What that means in practice is that after working a full day, I drive over to their place and pitch in where I can. Afterwards, I'm back to my own place, where we've entered a critical stage in our kitchen remodel - the period of time when the sink and the water supply has been removed. Doesn't sound too bad in theory, but even getting a glass of water becomes a production now. Aye!

Actually, this picture is outdated now - the counter installer suggested that we replace the island, which makes perfect sense... seeing that what's there now is a piece of crap created out of plywood. So I have more drilling and soldering to look forward to in order to reroute the water lines.
