Lumen, are you omitting something nice that happened in your life in the last
week or so?
Jim has progressed from having a house full of junk to having a house where
most of the junk has been either fixed or recycled to make room for a very
nice housemate (lucky on the third try).  He now has a 100' long electrical
conduit ready for upgrading his service, after several years of planning,
thanks to the digging skills of the housemate, and a yard full of vegetables
plants instead of weeds, and the closet project is done and you can walk
thorugh the kitchen and living room without tripping.  He hopes by this time
next year to still have the housemate and maybe one more, plus wired-in
electric heat at 1/4 the usual rate and more junk fixed or recycled.
