Extreme Home Makeover: Adjusting Things
What the boy had, turned out NOT to be a flare up of his disease, but rather was just the first of us all to fall for a bit of a stomach bug. Oh fun, fun ‘eh? I’m on hour 22 of what had better be a 24 flu! What misery contant queasiness can be.
Yesterday was weird, project wise. With Andrew down with the bug, papa had a quiet morning of getting the patch work done with the drywall and got the wiring going. Mom and I had the kids in town for my bone scan and quilt-fabric shopping for the kids’ beds. Indeed the bone scan was stunningly easy though there is something quite distrubing when the tech says, “well the radiation is coming from you and the machine simply measures it.” Incidentally, the purpose of the test is to discover if the pain I’ve been having since July is a broken back or not. I tend to think I’d KNOW something like that, as in, have memorable impact or something, but apparently fractures and such can happen in a variety of ways. We’ll see…we’re waiting on results.
When we got home it was to work: we are still undecided if we are going to include the porch enclosure or not in this week but it’s looking less and less like we will. The kitchen lighting needs to be redone, since we’re in the floor upstairs and can get to it, AND it went out this very week! The hallway is an extension of the bedrooms and needed a bunch of work, so we are bleeding over into it and making changes. Mom and I primed the baseboards and dresser and half of the hall floor; Dad and David plastered and wired. Today will be more mud, the AC work, and the beginning of box constuction for the beds and drawers.

Meanwhile…


Let there be light!
