Last night, I slept in a different bedroom as my usual one was vacated in readiness for the painters. We carried our mattresses and wondered why the handle straps were sewn at awkward positions that were not helpful to carriers.
I was awakened at 3:30 am, after 5 hours of sleep. As usual, I went to the bathroom. I guess I slept some and was awake some of the time, until I arose at 6 am, to prepare for the day.
My next writing here is at 8 pm. The day is over. The painters completed 3 small rooms. The odor is too strong to move the mattress back in. I was ok, functioning on 5 hours of sleep. Previously, I lacked confidence to start the painters because I thought I couldn’t cope. This lot is ok.
My family is going ahead to plan for the interior furnishing.
The neighbors had issues with one another. I guess I can’t write it here. My reflection in meditation would be that the two parties act to avoid conflict, for it brings never-ending repercussions.
