Forgive the absence from blogging. I've been the victim of a contagion that has overtaken everything in my life. (Does slipping in and spying now and then make my absence a little less onerous?)
See, what has happened is this horrifying path I'm on. It all began with a bit of renovation.
It started like this and went as follows:
Dump POS
Replace cupboard doors.
Oh well, may as well replace cupboards.
What the hey! Lets move a wall.
Plumbing in that wall? Pfft....out with the old plumbing and in with the new.
Half bath a bit small? Not a problem lets yank out the wall and throw in a shower and a jaccuzzi.
Oh, that means the laundry has to go? Chop off 1/3 of the living room and a new laundry and utility room can pop up.
Dining room seems restricted? Out with the closet and hallway.
Staircase seems out dated? Lets go for new flooring and get rid of those 70s railings.
Only one bath upstairs with those 4 bedrooms? Hack one of them in half and make a new master suite.
Windows look outdated? Lets do new ones.
Front walkway seems crumbly? May as well rebuild it and throw in a full size deck.
Siding has magically disappeared with window redo? A new skin on the outside will solve that.
Ahhh....that makes the roofing look shot. Better do that too.
The interior has had enough hacking that paint and paper is needed everywhere.
Did I mention the floors all got redone in the shifting?
The top floor bathroom became shabby in the contrast so it's been gutted and face lifted.
The basement is growing another bedroom and the bathroom on that level is on its way out to make room for newness there too.
This illness has taken over my person as well now.
New teeth. (Yup the kind that granny had - they can go out without the rest of me.)
Forty pounds have left my waistline.
Cigarettes have become a thing of the past. (Since September)
I've applied for a halo.
I plan to be around a little more.
Your turn......................What cha all been up to?
