Steve, his sidekick Liam, and I went to Home Depot and Lowe's yesterday. I made all my selections, not too difficult for me because I don't like things elaborate but prefer simplicity. We brought home the wall tile, mostly white with some marbling, and floor tiles, brown with lots of mottling and other colors splashed in. Since I'm doing everything with white fixtures and will use a light paint color on the walls, I hope the darker floor tiles sort of anchor everything. The tub, toilet, shower fixtures, and vanity top plus incidentals will be picked up when Steve can borrow his friend's truck.
I decided to keep the vanity base I have and just get a new top (the old one is difficult to keep clean and feels dirty even after scrubbing). I've reduced and reorganized the items I keep in the vanity itself, so I don't want a larger one or anything fancy. It is a wonderful feeling not to have to be concerned with always getting more storage units and using every bit of space available.
I'm coming along with the decluttering although it still looks like a yard sale inside my house. After walking on the treadmill this morning I went shopping for a few small items and bought some liner for the kitchen drawers. Now I have to take everything out of the drawers, remove the old liners and scrub everything clean, and then I'll be ready to call that job finished. I've reorganized most of the upper cabinets, but will have to take everything out to clean them properly. If I sound like a cleaning freak, I'm not. Once it is all cleaned I won't obsess about it at all.
All this work and exercise keeps me hungry!

I was sitting at the dining room working on the latest puzzle. The washing machine and dryer were going and I could hear them as background noise. I must have flushed the toilet and it never stopped running, but I didn't hear it...

I'm not concentrating very well this morning. I went into the bedroom and dropped something on the floor - when I picked it up I noticed quite a bit of dust, so into the kitchen I went to get my dust mop. While I was there I decided to...
- Do I Have A Roofer?
I've had several guys come by to look at the roof and talked on the phone to a couple more, but I liked the fellow who just left my house. I told him I would call him by Monday - I would have hired him on the spot except I'm waiting for...

A few weeks ago when I really started feeling bad, I noticed the two vegetable drawers in the bottom of the fridge were really looking bad - inside the drawers as well as under them. I remember asking Jeannie to get Joe to come over and clean the...
