Stuffed Up!

I haven’t felt like posting cuz
I have the worst head cold/sinus infection. Blech! We spent most of Sat. helping our friend tear out all of the walls in the first floor of her house. She had 5 inches of water into her first floor – not to mention her entire basement – during the flood last month. The inspector said she had mold starting to grow behind the baseboards into the walls, a huge health hazard. So it alllll comes out. It’ll be like a whole new house. In the end it will look great, Saturday it looked like a bomb going off in slow motion. 74 yrd old plaster, lathe, insulation and dust everywhere! We looked like coal miners we were so dirty. Of course we wore those rinky dink blue mouth covers – shades of SARs. But I think enough got past to irritate my sinuses. It was worth it though- fun smashing up walls! And she really appreciated the help.

Fri. night we finally got to the Haunted Penitentiary. It was fun and freaky. Imagine walking thru an old, creaky, rusty, dilapidated jail, which really did have a lot of people die in it, 98% pitch black for 45 min. (It looks exactly like the jail in “Shawshank” built in the same time period.) I was the lucky one in our group that got locked in a jail cell alone. yay. One room had fast strobe lights going – people covered in blood banging on metal with hammers and bloody body parts, like a f’d up video. Another had a strobe that went off about every 3 footsteps. So you were in the dark for a few, then could see people ahead, then dark, then see people running around, then the chainsaw started up. That I didn’t like. Hate chainsaws.
