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...
We normally have a large family (overnight) gathering at our house for New Years holiday.
ReplyDeleteI got ready for it last year and then other extended family cancelled it (last minute, I had already cooked and cleaned, beds ready) because of work/health issues, precovid.
That was annoying and sad.
However, this year, I am okay with no one extra coming. It is like last year softened the blow.
We now have six of us here. My adult kids (after testing, quarantining, retesting) are all here. So that is plenty. Three are staying until at least spring. One may be going back to college in a few weeks.
Having filets on the grill and playing board games at my bestie's house. She and my kids are the only ones in my bubble. So look forward to a change of scenery. I have been doing my errands 1 a day just to get out of the house. Yay. Going to mail some letters at the drive up today. Bet you guys have some fun planned!
ReplyDeleteI have a mammogram scheduled at 7:30am and the hubs has to work, so I'll spend the day doing laundry and cleaning the house a bit. I have some sparkling grape juice a friend gave me that I might open. Neither one of us will make it to midnight, and an ice storm is predicted for New Year's Day, so we'll be holed up inside. If I'm smart, I'll make some soup!
ReplyDeleteDr. Who marathon, couch. Boy am I exciting.
