Convergence of Calamity and Opportunity

I’m writing tonight, as usual, from my living room but tonight the setting is far more cavernous and echo inducing.  The acoustics have changed because the furnishings have dwindled to two lawn chairs and the TV cabinet.  Yesterdays lice sighting was followed by an intense period of people decontamination and house cleansing. 

Earlier in the day we had received word of an opportunity for a sideways couch acquisition and when it was time to vacuum and treat our current couches the memory of the opportunity bubbled to the surface and rather than swabbing the sofas we carried them to the curb and hollowed out our living room in preparation for the new constituents.

I also got some new sideways shirts today.  Great, great, great.
