Five days...

[gerisullivan]

I believe it's a new record. My dining room table was a clean, flat surface for five days. Five *consecutive* days. Until tonight, when I needed a place to gently lay the freshly-laundered curtains until after Cindy Scott and I clean the windows to match and rehang all of the kitchen, front hall, and stairwell window coverings.

Cindy arrives Friday afternoon to help me through the final push to ready the house for the market. Her bedroom is freshly painted. Earlier tonight, Jeff helped me reassemble the bed frame and move the mattress and box spring back in so Cindy is saved needing to put her bed together before she can sleep.Toad Hall is a Considerate Host Approved Accommodation.

For five days, the dining room was completely set, ready to add fresh flowers and be shown to any and all prospective buyers. The next trick is for the rest of the house to match. That wasn't supposed to happen by cluttering up the dining room.

At least I'm having fun.

Yes, really.

Cindy Scott is a friend who lives in Sunnyvale, CA. She was Vice Chair and Comptroller for ConJose, which is how I got to know her. She was at Minicon 37; this will be her second trip to Minneapolis.

She's good people. I haven't seen her since last October, so it will be a treat having her here in that respect as well as having a very welcome set of helping hands.

I'm sure that Cindy Scott is a very common name and since a lot of people on LJ use pseudonyms anyway... but I wonder did Cindy live in Houston ~6 years ago and does she sing? (and a UU?)

This Cindy has never mentioned living in Texas to the best of my memory, and none of the other identity factors ring bells, either. I'm fairly certain she was in the Bay Area six years ago, so, yeah, I expect we're talking about different Cindys.
