Man, July was one crazy-ass month.  My birthday party was at the end, and it was going to be a big one.  So I had a lot of work to do around the house.  Basically taking out a load bearing wall, so I had to do a bunch of work in the crawlspace, and put down a new subfloor.  And temporarily raise a header to make a new "door" into my kitchen.
We finally got all the work done, and it was worth it. Â But man, was it some long weeks.
The party itself was a blast, and a fun mixer for my friends. Â Wearing as many hats as I do, I have many different circles of friends. Â Rennies, work, gym, burlesque shows, theatre, etc. Â I basically just invited people at random from my friends list.
The party was great. Â I think we had 35-40 people at one time in my tiny house and back porch. Â I over did it just a little on the alcohol. Â I fell asleep at midnight. Â But don't worry, I woke back up two hours later, and lo-and-behold, people were still partying. Â So I got back up for my second wind. Â I finally went back to bed about six am. Â Man, what a great party!
