Low Key Easter Weekend Recap
Y'all it almost happened. It seemed like it was almost a perfect carpet install. Then the dude grabbed a broom and swept all of the carpet on top, swept the floor, then swept the stairs going downstairs. Thanks for taking our clean carpet and giving it a fresh layer of unknown dust and dirt all over it. Then we looked when they left and saw a gap by the baseboard on the landing we weren't happy with and I know they had to have seen it so I fear shoe molding is in our future which we hate. The final "of course?" We had a TON left. Like enough to recarpet another set of stairs easily. Uh, why are you sending someone out to measure to give us a quote and we have enough left over to carpet another set of stairs and have enough of another piece for a big strip in front of the washer and dryer. This goes well beyond the "10% waste" they have you get. (It stretches 2/3 the length of our basement) So begins the process of trying...
You've been at this long enough to know these phases happen, and you're right: it still stings!
ReplyDeleteOne teensy thing to keep in mind is that ibuprofen is said to cause water retention in some people. (http://www.livestrong.com/article/547954-ibuprofen-fluid-retention/)
I'm not saying that's why you're up, because who knows how and why our bodies do these things, but if you took the ibuprofen before bed and you weighed this morning....well, it's possible.
I have been on a road trip with vegans who tell me (while chomping on nothing but rabbit food and beans) that they get in these plateus and one has had gains because of something as simple as a potato. (She has about 30 pounds to lose) It makes my head spin...You are amazing, woman.
ReplyDeleteSadly I was already up the two pounds yesterday morning so the ibuprofen didn't seem to help or hinder on fluctuation scale. :\
ReplyDeleteMy LIFE has seemed to plateau the past 2 years. It's friggin frustrating. I'm not buying potatoes this time at the grocery, stocking up on greens and cutting back a bit on the carb sides to see if that does anything. I'm just getting REAL friggin' sick and tired of analyzing every minute of my day.
Ew, I'll be watching my scale with a great deal of suspicion now. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to see how frustrating this is for you. And yet, I know you will eventually prevail. Dare I say patience is a virtue? Nah, you might go all 'scale-al' on my @ss. Wish I knew what to say that would actually be helpful-but since I don't, hope a little chuckle makes you feel a little better.
Wow - Jurassic Park and Once Upon a Time - you've managed to hit two favorites in two consecutive posts.
ReplyDeleteDruthers - The phrase "I'd Rather" runs together to make "if I had my druthers". Funny word though.
Your food for the week looks fantastic as usual. I'm sorry it wasn't the winning combination for you.
This happens.. and then we tweak and tweak some more to get where we want to go. You got this!

ReplyDeleteThe scale lies! I hate it so much.
