Day 22: As if this election wasn't enough to fray my nerves, it has been compounded by having to have the repairman out to take another look at my heat pump which recently stopped working properly. The good news is that it is still under warranty. The bad news is that I will have to keep using the Cadet heater while an extensive parts list is ordered and filled. That list includes the compressor. It will probably be at least a week, maybe more for the work can be scheduled. Even at the best of times, I tend to have the attention span of a gerbil, becoming bored with whatever I've picked up to work on within five to ten minutes and then moving on to something else. Consequently, projects demanding focus and/or time have been back-burnered for the duration. Today was spent hopping between tatting, weaving on two band looms, knitting, working puzzles (anagrams and sudoku), reading and fidgeting. I'm getting a lot done. I'm just doing it in fits and starts. I'm not the only member of the household who was nervous about having a repairman in the house. Merry had to be locked in the bathroom for the duration, and once the technician had left, my poor little catty kept winding himself around my ankles, wanting hugs and love and reassurance. He has worse ahead of him. It's going to take about four hours for the heat pump to be repaired.
