Yesterday the installer came to measure the rooms for the new flooring. I don't know how long we have to wait before they are installed since the flooring has to be ordered. But that gives me time to decide about the paint color and finish getting the second room cleared out. Ron and I have decided to paint the rooms ourselves.
Our Thanksgiving plans are to go to my daughter's house. My son-in-law is cooking a ham and we are doing the turkey/dressing. Daughters are preparing all the sides. Should be fun. Mike absolutely loves Thanksgiving because we load him up with leftovers. We have a few guests joining us this year because the more the merrier. It sure is more relaxing when you are retired. I don't have to try and fit everything around a work schedule. I LOVE IT!
I have to try and keep my tendency for perfection in check. Since we are fixing up things in the house I can get a little obsessed with perfection and cleanliness. When Ron and I got married I really worked hard to let it go. When my hip got so bad it really was easier to relinquish control because frankly I had no choice. But now I feel great and it is getting harder to reign it in.
I hate to say this but men are kinda like pigs. They don't see dirt they just create it. Ron is a big guy and sometimes he's like a bull in a china closet. Somehow he can break stuff just walking by it. After we got married he started using the 1/2 bath in the guest room. I had fixed the room and bath up very feminine and it had just been redone before the wedding. He managed to break the soap dish almost immediately. I think it is because it is such a tight space he can't turn around without hitting something.
I'm anxious to get started and even more anxious to be finished!
There were some big changes here today....
