So, folks are coming

In a couple hours, two people and five cats whose house in New Orleans was destroyed will be here to stay for a couple months while they get back on their feet. We've never met them before, but got their names from www.hurricanehousing.org and we've talked to them on the phone a couple times, and they sound like Our Kind Of People. I mean, they got out of NOLA in their van with two bags of clothes, five cats, a guitar, and a laptop computer, which tells me that they've got a reasonable set of priorities.

Here's the thing. Construction on the downstairs is like NEARLY finished. And the place is a mess. And I've been working for hours cleaning it up.

And it's TOUGH for me to work for hours. I just get exhausted very quickly, so it's been "work an hour, rest an hour" all day. So we won't be able to present them with a nice, homey, all perfect place to stay like I'd wanted.
