You know Siv's room probably has a nautical theme

Oh, certainly. I bet it showed up in the middle of the night if it wasn't purchased.

Absolutely.

Hmm...I kind of want the two new bedrooms to have sprouted up as another floor...but my fae/mundane double-vision makes me wonder what happens when it rains. wry

It wouldn't be like a normal third floor?

Well, I'd like it to be, but...well...my mundane-brain threatens to scuttle everything by asking "is there a mundane roof there, too?"

The rain that falls on the Lodge is Chimerical and often in harmony with the mundane rain.

....Or...we could just say, "Hush, Brekke-P, it's not a concern."

LOL I need to read my new C20 Freehold book, but I've always treated freeholds before as being a little like CHangelings themselves. they have a mortal side. And if the chimerical one grow it might too

Ha! Okay, I like that.

I mean, what mortals were around to go "Hey, that shouldn't have gained that space"

canonically I think they are pockets of the Near Dreaming.

Good point. Narnia tech

nod I'm good with it. 🙂 And yeah, part of why Brekke was so anxious about the possibility of adoption authorities doing home inspections on the Lodge. Glad there's ways around that.

Okay, sorry, Mr. D. you said that Vali needs to talk to Brekke. Is now good?

Sure

Frank's gone off on a dark patrol/sulk.

...and chamomile tea to settle things down for the evening. Tomorrow I want to have a go at fixing my retirement shadowbox, picking out a cub scout shadow box for Alex, and doing some sewing.

That all sounds perfectly appropriate for your current stage of healing. None of this fortifying-the-defenses for you.

I have in mind, just to make the DH sigh, to make chalk-board contact paper labels for the shoebox-bins in the garage that are holding bits and pieces. You know. TOO cute; "Look honey, I pinterested!"

And I want to rearrange parts of the kitchen.

I think we have the plastic storage stuff in the wrong place, I think I know where we can put them.

You want to plan the rearranging...and then tell the Things how to do it.

While you sit and direct with a cane.

Or a yardstick.

*nod* Well, plastic stuff I can move around. I'm supposed to be walking, it's part of my exercise plan.

Yes...but not bending or reaching.

Just a guess, there.

Not bending. Nothing lift/pull/push over 5lbs. I have a picker I use.

See.... I knew that if I could get a few weeks in this space, I'd be able to come up with solutions for what has been bothering me. So much was going on so fast, it was a matter of 'unpack enough to find what we need and dash off' instead of finding smart places for things. NOW... I have time, I can do this.

Yeah, I'm hoping I'll get to that point sometime. I mean, we've only been in this house for a decade....

*L* Try heart surgery?

I mean, I was just really DESPERATE to get a few weeks time....

Yeahhhh...I think I'll pass on the surgery. 🙂

Well, your call.

Besides, I don't know how you do it. When I have time, I want to spend it in here, and I can't multitask for shit.

You do just fine.

BRB...I need to take care of something downstairs, but it should only take a couple of minutes.

Cat herding!

Pretty much!

Frank inbound ok?

Wait a minute.

Sure. Cue me.

Loudly. *G*

Okay, any time now.

hihi

Hi. 🙂

Heya!

DELUGE on the drive home
