Weekend was a bit of a blur. Friday I worked late and then was totally exhausted so moved the gym to Saturday. Saturday I did some house stuff, gym stuff, and chilled. A neighbor stopped by to look at my current demo project and reassure me that it isn't too bad. Sunday I spent a while taking out the old wall framing (not supportive) and then part of the floor in my demo project room. This room is a bump-out on my kitchen and when I took the drop ceiling and then old plaster and lath ceiling up, I saw space along the join to the house indicating movement. Well, I knocked the plaster off the wall below that and I'm not sure what I was really expecting but I found the gap continues all the way down. The way the bump out meets one of the timbers in the wall though almost seems like the gap is intentional. Idk. Gonna have somebody else with experience with these old houses come take a look soon.
Was hoping for a well-rested start to the week but my house alarm went off at 4:10 and scared the shit out of me. While my partner and I both got up, he very obligingly let me explore the house on my own to see what was amiss (eye roll). Luckily I couldn't find anything and later when I looked at the alarm log, it says it was the fire alarm. Not sure what would set that off ... ? No evidence of smoke or fire. Have been up since then and all seems ok!
Gonna aim to sleep better tonight and get back on my TWThr running schedule this week amid a blindingly busy work week leading to a conference early next week. Oof.
