Hey, All! I'm Back and in a Better Mood!

You know that saying about when God closes one door he opens a window?????? Golfer and I sat around in a major mood for a little while last Friday. There were phone calls and many apologies from the store owner. Apologies about the supplier sending the wrong size roll of carpet. Apologies about the store employees not checking the order. Just sorry apologies. Hey, stuff happens. So there we sat. The carpet was rescheduled for Monday. We watched some TV around the piles of stuff emptied from the rooms to be carpeted. Then we thought about it and decided what an opportune time to paint two of those rooms! (our bedroom has recently been painted) So we were off to Sherwin-Williams. And we spent the weekend painting walls and woodwork. Looks pretty good. The rooms each had one piece of furniture left in them, and who cared if we dropped any paint on the floor??? We were tired, but felt like we had accomplished something.

The installers came on Monday. The new carpet is lovely and very nice. We have been moving things back all week. We are just about finished. It has taken so long because we have been sorting and cleaning out as we go. Plus, the new computer desk was delivered on Tuesday. Golfer has started getting things set up again. He'll start transferring programs and files this weekend from the old system to the new.

We will also be clearing things out of the living room and dining room. The laminate flooring is being installed on Monday. And when that is all done, I can start doing some touch-up painting all around the house. And CLEANING. I just love it when we're told "there is going to be a mess; we want to be sure you know that". We have lived in a lot of places. There has never, ever been anything at all done in any of those places that did not make some kind of a mess; I don't care how carefully the work is done. But I guess for legal reasons they have to tell customers such things just to cover themselves. And the customer has to sign the form saying they were told. I am sure at some point in time there was some clueless person who contracted a major overhaul of some sort and then said they were going to sue because there was some dust on their windowsills or something. Some people are a waste of skin and not worth dealing with. But that is another story for another time.

So, things are progressing. It crossed my mind to include a picture or two in this post, but then I remembered my camera is not hooked up to the computer. So that will have to wait.

It's been warm for a couple days and today is windy and sunny. The pink bud trees are starting to bloom and I have seen some daffodils blooming here and there. Spring is approaching!

Stay safe!
