When I look up there at the last three days, it looks like I haven’t done anything in the exercise department but I have barely sat down to catch my breath!!  I did have some recovery time on Friday from all the redecorating efforts - I didn’t have a step stool or step ladder, so I stood on a chair while I was painting.  The good news is - 45 lbs. ago I couldn’t haul my ass up on a chair.  Could not do it.  The bad news is - Though I can now haul my ass up on a chair, after doing it approximately a bzillion times last Wednesday and Thursday, OMG my knees and hips were killin’ me!   But I’m all better now.

Hubby loved the living room.  Loved the couch, loved the new chair, loved the rug and the bookcases.  I think most of all, he loved the fact that the room had been transformed and he didn’t have to lift a finger to make it happen.

So I told him the bathroom was next.  That with him or without him, I’m gonna do it.  Now.  Before Christmas.

The bathroom, however, is a significantly more difficult job.  We live in an older house and there are some structural issues in there.  Immediately he jumped on the remodeling/redecorating bandwagon and started making plans for what needed to be done.  Saturday we spent all day shopping, going from one store to the next, getting lots of neat stuff.  I was so excited!

I have never, ever before purchased a toilet.  And never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would be this excited over such a purchase!

Yesterday he started ripping our bathroom up.  Removed all the trim, took the mirror off the wall, removed the cabinet, the baseboards, and the old flooring.  It looks like a shambles in there and I couldn’t be happier!!!
