Detritus and drawings

1/29/08

The termite wings are beginning to accumulate again. In the morning I see their wormy bodies writhing in the last throws of death before becoming prostrate carcasses on my kitchen sink. In the agony of death they must let loose of their flying appendages which then scatter in irradescent hues across the counter tops. I am loath to clean up the nasty detritus. I’ll have to find a vacuum I think.

With my artistic skills in full swing now, the plans for the clinic are almost complete. Today I finished up overhead views to scale including all interior and exterior walls and doorways. I’ve completed side views with a 1:4 roof ratio and front and back views with the windows and doors included. Next I hop on the electrician band wagon and will be designating all outlets, circuit breakers, light switches, and lighting units into my plans. No, I’ve never done any of this before, but Arthur the hospital administrator gave me some paper with boxes on it, his ruler, and his really good erasure, and I’ve given it my best shot.

News of note: The entire phone system is down from 1 to 2 days to 2 weeks secondary to being completely fried in the last electrical storm. (Refer to close encounters of the lightening kind on 1/28/08)
