Set-ups, Day 8: Halleluiah!

• Gear up for one last day of set-ups with a breakfast of fresh bran muffins and cottage cheese
• Plan outfits with layered clothing to combat freezing temperatures
• Arrive at set-up, tools in tow, and--on auto-pilot--begin tackling banister, mantles, and kugels
• Enjoy Diet Coke (served in lead crystal goblets) and lunch courtesy of another gracious client
• Clean up, bid goodbye and thank client, sink gratefully into heated seats and decide, spontaneously, to get pedicures!
• Go into partial trance while feet are pampered
• Laugh at Susan's midget foot in salon-provided flip-flop
• Cringe at having to walk to the car in frigid weather wearing said flip-flops
• Decide on one more brief shopping expedition, followed by late dinner at Baja Fresh
• Thank server for taking our order despite apparent imminent close
• Enjoy fine array of salsas and warm tortilla chips
• Attempt one last SP, hoping that blurry outcome disguises signs of aging and fatigue
• Drive home to pack Denise's purchases, sad that--though the week has been exhausting with a combined total of 135 man-hours--our sister time is over
