Hole in the Wall
Last week, I was woken up in the middle of the night one night by a painting falling off the wall, shattering the frame. This weekend, while trying to replace some adhesive portrait hooks with the (I hope) more reliable hammer-and-nail kind, I misunderstood the release mechanism on the adhesive and managed to pry a hook away along with a good chunk of paint and plaster. Talk about the worst of both worlds! While the damage is cosmetic and not that difficult to fix in the grand scheme of things (plus, it's once again concealed behind a painting), it still bugs me that I was such an idiot. As always, impatience is a weakness.
Speaking of walls, the condo association is figuring out logistics for a (evidently overdue) replacement of the building's siding. The work needs to be done, definitely not the sort of thing you want to leave until it's an emergency. But it's $$$$. The joys of homeownership.
Today, my mind is dwelling on the terrible news from Las Vegas. It's too bad that this sort of event is still so common.
