When God created women he equipped them with sensory perceptions we men lack.
They see things we do not see, they hear things we do not hear, they know what we think when we don't even know what we think. And al these and more make the super to us.
But it is fine. These make our lives easier since we don't have to make any major decisions at all just live with the consequences.
Sixteen months ago we moved into a brand new apartment in a nice apartment house. It was painted and it was clean. We lived here all these times very comfortably until...
Well, one day my darling wife liked around and decided that she wanted the apartment painted, the base moldings replaces as well as all thirteen doors that we have.
I said sure darling, whatever you want, hoping for a nuclear holocaust that would make this plan obsolete. But it didn't happen and a week and a half ago my wife decided this was the time to do it.
On Friday we spoke to the super of the building and he made arrangements for the work to start on this past Monday, the 9th.
The weekend was spent buying materials like doors, hardware, lumber and paint and also moving every piece of furniture into the middle of the rooms and covering them all up. This was no easy task since we do have a lot of stuff.
Monday morning arrived we got up at the crack of dawn and begun to wait for the workmen to arrive. On gets very anxious at times like these because one wonders if they will really come or find an excuse for not showing up.
One year I went through something like this. We were expecting the painter. Took the apartment apart, moved the furniture an sat and waited for hours for the painter who never arrived. It turned out that day was agree holiday and they forgot to tell us that the painter was supposed to be off.
So one can understand my anxiety at waiting for the workers. But it turned out fine. At 9 am they showed up and started work as promised.
More tomorrow.
