Anniversary Postponed, Chaos in Progress

It doesn't look quite this bad, but it feels like it.    Image

Today is our 47th wedding anniversary, but celebrating is on hold for at least a week. The tile guys should be here tomorrow.

We've been busting our butts moving appliances, furniture and breakables from the work area. Whereas the furniture on the other side of the house is big and bulky, most everything on this side of the house is on sliders.

Our only real chore while the workers are here is to keep the dogs from going insane. I plan a lot of walks for them. Maybe it'll be a good thing. If they see we're not bothered with welcomed strangers maybe they'll get used to it too.

Actually, my only real concern will be during the demolition. They'll likely leave the doors open a lot as they move in and out. More risk of scorpion entry. Since it'll take 2-3 days to tear up the floor, I'm in for some anxiety until the floor is sealed again and doors remain closed.

I'll feel better next Wednesday when they should be done and we can move everything back.

I probably won't post a blog next week. My desktop is trapped on the opposite side of the work-in-progress so I won't have access to email or graphics.

It's chaotic, but I'm trying to see beyond next week. 

Happy anniversary to my honey. I have renewed your contract for another year. Well done!
