Day Thirty Six

Third non-working day at my house this week.  Though I did get a text from the contractor today.  He was mystified by the husbands handy-work on the dishwasher from last week; I'm going with impressed, really.  It was pretty fantastic.  This opened the conversation up to "what's going on in my house".   The tentative plan (key word: tentative) is to be here tomorrow "afternoonish".  I'm hoping for the downstairs bathroom to get a toilet.  Finger's crossed.  I may have bribed him with some cookies.

My anxiety about the furnace is starting to get a little worse.  The weather this week isn't so bad (read that as "hot"), but next week is looking cold.  The bucket keeps filling up and we keep emptying it; it hasn't been repaired yet.

There wasn't much done construction-wise at the house, but I tidied up and made dinner.  We had chicken yakisoba.

Pre-prepped.  A lot of the work for this meal is front-ended.  I have to chop up everything.  I tried to do this as I went along once.  It didn't end well.  

This is a photo of ramen.  This is the best part of the dish.  Cheap, college-student ramen.

Just fry up the chicken with some ginger, add the veggies, the sauce and noodles.  Voila--dinner.

Here are the bribe cookies...

Bonus photo:  Kitty was being cute and hiding in the space.  I think she was happy because she had a good fill of chicken scraps.  But then again, she may have been waiting to ambush the dog.
