I've been as busy as a one-armed paperhanger since last Thursday! The yard is completely landscaped, bone-wise. I just got my new perennials and the annuals to fill the holes planted. The car has current tags. I have a new drivers license. The laundry is done and so is the grocery shopping. I have been to the movies once, lunch three times, and entertained at the house one evening. I also went to my sister's for the indoor picnic yesterday (we had rain, rain, rain). There is insulation in the new bathroom. There is drywall on 95% of the walls in the new bathroom. The paint for the bathroom is picked out and bought. I would have pictures of the plumbing, insulation and drywall, but I left the camera in the trunk of the car and couldn't figure that out until this morning. Shoot. Ed will very likely put in the very last pipe in tonight. And then we'll hang the last two sheets of drywall. If all goes well, we'll have it mudded sometime this week and it'll be dry for sanding this weekend. It's progressing FINALLY (he's been unmotivated and I couldn't go forward since I don't do plumbing) after a three months' hiatus. Our old plumbing (as in, not the newly installed plumbing) has been acting up and the sub came to work on it. It took two whole days and it's still not fixed. The city came and will come again. UGH! The good news is, the house is shaping up and we can move forward much faster once the lynchpin of the remodel is done. Tiling is daunting in front of us, but he seems upbeat and I assume he can handle the brunt of worrying about/installing it. In the meantime, I'll be working on prepping the fixtures, such as adding the rubber stripping to the sink bracket, painting the light fixtures, etc. We should be done soon since good weather is upon us. Looks like ribs for dinner one night and wings another. Obviously, I wasn't hungry when I went to the store, since all I could think of was what he likes :). LF starts swimming every day as of today. I can't wait to pick him up since he'll probably be walking on air. He got new swim trunks in Pigeon Forge and they're covered with sharks. I'm really enjoying my downloaded music. Ironically, everyone keeps saying, "What station is that?!", makes me smile. On the down side, I'm pretty unhappy with my officemate and many of my friends have relatives with health problems, one's father died last week, one's uncle died a couple of days ago, one's father just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer... I hurt inside and wish I could run away to the beach. For today. I'd still come home. And that's all I have to say about that.
