Wow, has it really been that long?
Oct 10 2009
A month and a half? Time certainly does fly!
Just decided to post an update of what’s transpired in that time. Remodeled our bathroom, sort of. It started out as a simple changing of the faucet on the sink, and when it was done we added:
- A new sink.
- A newer faucet
- New towel racks
- New mirror
- New wall-mounted cupboard
Now I’m in the process of repainting the thing as well as regrouting the tub. Had hoped to have it finished today, but ran out of paint. So goes my luck.
Speaking of luck, I also managed to break my first shovel this past week, trying to uproot some massive agapanthas in the backyard. Turns out that Vigaro makes some pretty shitty tools (in my opinion…as stated for legal reasons). That’s what I get by trying to save $8 at Home Depot. However, if you’ve seen the back yard, you’ll be happy to know (really, happy??… just indulge me here, ok) that the mound just off the patio is now gone, and come spring that newly flattened area will be teaming with rose bushes and other assorted plants. Not to mention a raised bed in the back left corner of the yard, courtesy of the 10 wheelbarrow loads of dirt I had to remove.
Also during the time since the last update, we lost…and found…our cat. No clue where she spent four lonely days, but my guess is that she wandered into a home a couple doors down that is under construction and was locked inside. Pretty crappy experience, all in all. It’s not too fun scouring the local shelters, seeing cats that look like they could be her twin, only to realize that they lacked a couple of distinctive markings. Needless to say (so why are you saying it, Bryan), she came back a bit traumatized and a bit lighter around the belly. However, she’s doing fine and is the proud new sporter of a microchip.
On an up note, I’m a great-uncle yet again. Twice-over in two days, actually. One niece welcomed her second kid, King Leonidis (or Leo) into the world, and another welcomed her first, Kathryn. Apparently, the wife and I have some catching up to do. Hopefully that will work itself out soon, though.
So yes, this was a random…and probably very boring…update. About as boring as you could possibly ask for, I’d imagine. However, I felt I owed something to my fans.
