The Vet hopes our 15 year old cat is just suffering from stress. The perscription is to keep him in a calm, quiet comfortable space with a regular routine. I would like that same prescription. Even my houseplants have suffered from the stress of moving and building. The work continues on the house as Dad has been putting in regular hours and Tilt works whenever he can. I have done a little painting and site cleaning but mostly I have been working to get our household together while we all get back into a regular routine and rhythm in daily life. We visited Cape Cod for a couple days for Thanksgiving. This was Tilts first break in over 6 months. We had to get back to prepare for the insulatin company.
The insulation of the roof required lots of planning, time, and money, yet there is really nothing to see when it is done! Tilt has informed me that the R-value of the roof is 40 (and that this is a good thing).
After a whole bunch of extra hours we have a real front door. At first it was not centered under the porch roofline. I thought maybe it was just my eye, but when Tilt took a step back to look at it he not only agreed, but he decided he couldn't let it stay that way. So he re-installed the door to get it right. Changing it to open the other way is another days project!
I once read that it takes about 3 weeks to adjust to a new job or a move in life. It has been about 3 weeks since we moved in here and once again it holds true. It may not be calm and quiet too often, but it is comfortable and we are all feeling more settled and adjusted.
