I'm in better spirits. Tired, but feeling better. We're getting progress on cleanup/repairs. The wicked storms predicted for last night weren't as wicked as we'd anticipated. And I spent a few hours at the other house and accomplishing something always helps my mood.
I moved stuff around in S's room, located her new bed in the sunroom, carried the pieces upstairs, and got it all set up. Add the box spring and mattress, toss on the new duvet cover and pillows, and Voila! it's beginning to look like something real in there! She's thrilled with the look of the room. However, she did have to complain about the extra stuff around the closets. But I've gotta put that stuff somewhere for now.
Still waiting for the carpet in J's room. I put a call into the carpet store and haven't heard back. Gee, this is reminding me of the deal we had with the dining room carpet a few years ago. Maybe we'll go elsewhere next time.
We also start tackling C's room. Her room had become the catch-all storage for stuff from the other rooms, so now it's time to clear it out and begin the transformation. She giggled with glee when going thru the boxes of stuff I've bought for her room. Sheets, accent pillows, decor accessories. Some of which she'd actually picked out (and forgotten about, it's been so long ago!) and some she hadn't seen yet.
I went in to the builder's cabinetry shop on Wednesday. They've had a difficult time getting the color for the kitchen cabinets just right. They had a few samples for me to look at, and then we went back and mixed a few combinations. They've finally got "the" combo. Whoo hoo! I got to see the assortment of cabinets that are already assembled. It was thrilling to see cabinet after cabinet with my last name scribbled onto the backside. Hopefully they'll be finished and delivered to my house soon!

Hey, friend. Your email address is at home.
Paul really does need to have that procedure done on his neck a week from Monday. So he won't be able to even think about coming until after that.
That said, however, he would love to just come help for a few weeks if you still need it in a few weeks. I wish you lived closer. He'd be working out there for free all the time! He's got your phone number, and will call if something changes.
WOO HOO! The house is starting to shape up, huh? How much longer until you can move in? I can't wait to see pictures (and hopefully in person!).
