The rain hit the windows as Syd, four dogs, two cats and I sat in the office going through receipts and paperwork, all while keeping a sharp eye on the window waiting for the delivery person to drop off my project for the day, building cat steps.
It's nice to know that someone else in this world functions in the same kind of organized chaos that I do, piles of paperwork and box full of receipts littered her desk. We searched through them, it really was (not to sound too cliche) like searching for a needle in a haystack.

With that project finished and no sign of the delivery person, we moved on to laundry. Even the most mundane of tasks becomes entertaining with Syd. I never cease to be amazed by her. At age 40 she became a pilot, overcoming a two huge milestones at once. She stood at the brink of being over the hill and started her life anew. The strength this woman has is infectious. I leave her house everyday believing I can take on the world.
After laundry, and still no hint that the delivery person had come, we decided to take on her closet. A huge feat. The sliding door closet is filled to the brim with everything from shoes, purses, clothes, hats and scarves. This thing would make any fashionista drool.
In the midst of trying to organize the closet, nature called and I had to let the herd outside. When I opened the door, and there, at the foot of the stairs, were the packages we had been patiently waiting for for three hours. Syd was tired, and aching a bit, so we decided to save the carpentry adventure for tomorrow. I just hope I don't mess up her house too badly.
