* The lung episode Thursday alarmed the Contractors so much they spoke to he liaison guy, who called me this morning to see if I was okay. I'm not really, but I'm better than Friday. I washed a load in the new washing machine. It's a lot quieter and huge and apparently way more energy efficient. It is in fact so large that I had to use a broom to get my sundries, as I'm an inch or two to short to reach the back myself. The dryer is also massive, bu as it's front load, I'm fine.

Livia hid during the contractor visit and only noticed the change of appliances around lunchtime when she followed me into the bathroom and noticed the new gigantic black washer GURGLING at her. The doors that conceal them had been closed up until that point when she was roaming. She did not runaway in terror, but she is definitely wary.

Despite the pain and the state of my lungs, I forced myself out to forage, as I've missed most of a month and the only freshish veg left was some romaine that was starting to slime when I went o make a sandwich today. I hurt more than words can say and i'm now having trouble hobbling to the bathroom and the like, but we've got fresh greens, milk, and some of those small oranges.

It's real witch weather out tonight, just like I like it.
