The Story Before the Bathroom Reveal
Y'all, it has been a ride. Why are all of our renos involving trades always held up? Now I could understand the kitchen reno which began March 16, 2020 which is the week all hell broke loose. The kitchen wasn't finished until July that year and it really had nothing to do with the pandemic. There were quality control issues with two doors and if you think I was settling for lint sealed under clear coat and the same two holes caused by an industrial stapler on three remakes of a door, you're nuts. We actually redid our bathroom in 2022. Do you remember? Probably not because I hated it so much I never did a reveal! The deep ocean blue was a pain in my ample ass and for almost three years because it never stopped running. We had white chair railing and water from drying our hands or showers constantly dripped blue and would pool on top of the white railing sending me into fits on the daily. Because we'd gone through three different blue...
I have to work today unlike most. However I am lucky enough to get to work from home today so that's much better than having to go in to work.
ReplyDeleteAt least now I have some links to check out during the day. Looks like some good articles to read there.
Going up north with a girlfriend after we get done working. At 5. Blah. But the evening promises to be fun! My daughter and I did go to the local parade yesterday though, and the Jazzercise class looked to be having so much fun we decided we want to do that too, so off to amazon to get a cd.
ReplyDeleteyeah im working too..Hubby is working too..we have the option to work from home, but if I stay home, my MIL will relax and I dont want to cook and work..hehe so decided to come into work and dont know why but hubby ran away to work too..lol..
ReplyDeleteWeekend I have extra work and might take the ILs to the baltimore aquarium...they wud prefer just going out to eat though..lets see...
Oh yes, I'm working today. Could have taken off but I'd rather do that some other time. I have to dog sit until Saturday, I need to clean because my Ma is coming for a visit and I want to make a good pasta salad. Other than that, not much is going on. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteYou always have the best finds for what you're reading. What a sweet story about the recipe cards. My mom passed down my great grandmothers hand written cards to me, and I definitely treasure them!
ReplyDeleteNo big plans for this weekend. The slow cooker will make an appearance to help with this heat, and maybe, just maybe the ice cream freezer. Hmmm......
I worked today and so did the husband. Sigh. I took 2 days off and I'm desperately trying to catch up now. Ooh pizza, yummy! And corn!
ReplyDeleteI just got home and as I predicted it was a crappola day. But I'm home now and am glad to have 2 days away from the Island of Misfit Toys. =o) I'm going to read that article you linked about chronic stress and your appearance--you peaked my interest as I'm pretty sure I have more cortisol running through my body than blood--*snort*. This weekend is a farmers market (so excited--my 1st one!) and some stuff around the house. It's supposed to be hot and muggy, so not sure how much I'll do outdoors. I did make a wonderful crockpot concoction yesterday of red smashed potatoes with fresh chives, half & half and sour cream. No butter as it didn't need it. Yowza, it was yummy! I'm considering making little patties with the leftovers and frying in a touch of olive oil for breakfast "hashbrowns". Have a super weekend! I'll shoot you an email this weekend to regarding our conversation. xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI worked yesterday evening and I have to say it was probably one of the worst days at work I've had in a long time. I think I got every singe asshole or crazy customer last night. I love the idea of chipotle butter, I hae been using feta and everyone around here loves that too :)
