WEATHER. UGH.

Well, my flight to Minnesota got cancelled because of the impending storm that's going to spend the next 2-3 days clobbering everything from Wisconsin to the Atlantic (ugh).
BUT! I was able, after a frustrating round of computer glitches and half an hour on hold with the Delta chatbot, to connect with a live agent who rescheduled my flights so I will now be heading west on Friday the 30th and returning home on Tuesday the 3rd -- one week later than my original plans.
So my family will do Zoom Xmas, and then see each other in person for New Year's instead of vice versa. Ah well. The saying goes, "god willing and the creek don't rise," but sometimes the creek does rise and we make the best of it.
...
In other news, I finally finished making floor plans out of architectural sketches for the entire third and fourth floors of one apartment building. Do they have dimensions? Alas, no -- that information wasn't on the sketches I used for my base. But I intend to take some time during the holiday slow period to excavate more of our old blueprint hoard and hopefully ONE of those papers will have some actual numbers.
I would also really like to find a key plan for the second floor of that building, because I wasn't able to find ANYTHING for that floor on my last excavation, which means we have no floorplans whatsoever to show prospective tenants. That is, shall we say, less than ideal. :/
...
Now I think I am going to go do something useful for an hour before falling into bed. It is COLD and DARK and I am going to leave some candles burning overnight in honor of winter solstice.
