House

Time for some updates on the house... I spoke with the contractor yesterday and he said as soon as the stop order is lifted, it'd be a month before we could move in. I am not holding my breath though as I don't wanna get all excited and also don't wanna pressure him to finish. There are still a lot left to do. The whole interior (it's only wired and "piped"), the concrete porches, the deck in the back... So much to do, but if they wanna work on it, they can really work fast. I am hoping to move in before Christmas... One can only hope, right?

Last night when going home, the flooding was soooo severe they closed a couple of parkways. Of course the one I used was one of them. I was forced to take the local streets and gosh! Was I lost? I had NO IDEA where I was and where I was heading. With the rain still coming down, traffic, lack of road signs in a small town, I was driving around in Mt. Vernon for 45 mins without knowing whether I would get out of the dark! But finally, I saw the sign!

Yep, the sign of Interstate 95!
