"It's sweat, blood, broken toes..."

No, no, they're not really broken. But rather tired and homeless since the socks decided to throw them out. That's what scraping the bottom in a rough neighbourhood can do to you.

What feels like the never-ending saga of floor sanding was continued today. We finished the sanding and made great progress in cleaning up the this awful amount of dust that comes with this job. Hopefully I can begin to apply varnish tomorrow.

It's not just songs and glamour. It's sweat, blood, broken toes, and mistakes... It's life.
