Time Just Flies
We are working so hard on the house and other things, that computer pursuits, including blogging, have had to take a back seat. Finally got the insurance claim completed, so now we are waiting on the adjuster to review it all. And now it’s tax time. LOTS of work to do in the next week […]
Time Sure Flies!
So, it’s been a month since I’ve posted more than a blog seed. It’s been very eventful. One of the girls at the office quit and I had to do her job. I broke my toe. The kids decided that they wanted store-bought Easter baskets instead of the gourmet ones I put together every year. […]
Lots of Stuff Happening
So I haven’t had time to blog. Plus, when I moved my computer home last week, it refused to talk to the internet. So I had to wait to get online until my darling baby brother (who’s 26 and a genius) could come and make it work for me. He’s such a sweetheart! Let’s see. […]
Still Sick
I’m still under the weather. It’s getting better, but I still have a bad earache and full sinuses and a bad cough. Sigh. We made some progress on getting moved back home this past weekend. Got the new security door ordered, got the bedrooms completely ready — except I need to go and get our […]
It’s the Most Busiest Time of the Year
Yeah, so, I used an improperly constructed superlative. The Grammar Guru is on vacation. It’s hopping around here. We spent last weekend in various pursuits. I helped teach a CPR class on Saturday — my first in nearly two years. If I didn’t teach one before the end of this year, I’d have lost my […]
Moving Weekend!
We’re going to try to get moved back in, at least “mostly,” over this long weekend. Funny, this remodel was supposed to take six weeks, but it’s been six months! Still, I can’t complain. We’ve had a lovely time living at mom and dad’s. And the house is going to be wonderful when we get […]
The Beginning of the End
Our little remodeling adventure is almost over. The linoleum will be laid in the kitchen this week, and the final painting and appliance installations will be done. The POD is already resting in the front yard, ready for unloading. The last few items of furniture to be refinished are in the garage, ready to be […]
Still going!
We’ve finished laying tile, and now we need to grout it. But we can’t do that yet, because the floor refinishers started yesterday. They ground down the floor to bare wood — it’s a beautiful oak parquet — and they are going to stain it a rich, dark brown called “Spice.” Then they have to […]
Busy….
We’ve been very busy this past week, as evidenced by the fact that I haven’t posted in 8 days! We’ve begun laying tile in the bathrooms of our house, which is fun but labour-intensive. We also painted the insides of the kitchen cabinets — a sunshiny yellow a little more intense than the kitchen walls. […]
EXHAUSTED
This is gonna be a short post. I’m so tired that I can’t talk right — I sound like a drunk. My feet and back are killing me. I’ve had a lovely hot bath, and I am going to bed. Up this morning and off to the kid’s baseball game. Other team had to forfeit, […]
