Happy Tuesday! Randoms, vents, etc.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Good morning!  What's new?  Any randoms/vents/etc?

I am so far behind on house stuff it's crazy.  And I may have friends coming to visit the first weekend in June.  Yikes!
I have a dentist appointment today.  I know I'm going to need at least a filling.  I'm unhappy about this.  Also, R has to drive me to work because I'll need a nap after the nitrous.  At least it's a good half hour?
Finally, one of the cats (I think Squirrel) keeps puking up hairballs everywhere.  But when I comb him, absolutely no hair comes out.  I'm flummoxed.  What is going on here?

I keep chipping away at yard stuff and I'm not really getting anywhere. It's a good thing our front yard is completely landscaped and requires minimal maintenance, because otherwise the outside of the house would look like a dump.

I'm on day 3 of the kids cold and I feel yucky!

I am getting a tile floor set in my kitchen and stacked stone installed on my fireplace surround today. Getting this house all sparkly and new to sell is a little sad. I guess. I am little more attached to this place than, I realized. :/

No H&G going on here. I'm sad about it. No $$ for projects. So I have this list of things I can't do.

Nothing too exciting going on H&G related with me; partially due to $$, partially due to motivation. I have a bunch of stuff I want to do so we'll see if and when it gets done.

Otherwise, I'm still dealing with ongoing health issues. I'm really frustrated and overwhelmed and trying to keep my anxiety about it all I check has been difficult.

We're finalizing window specs to replace our front picture window so we can sign the contract and get it ordered! Right now the picture window is just glazing held in with one-bys, but we're replacing them with Marvin tilt-turns. I'm very excited that we'll have functioning windows that allow air to pass through the living room.

We may also be getting a front door from the same company. We requested a quote last fall on Masonite doors, but the contractor never responded. The window company sells/installs Thermatru and has already given us a quote. We just have to finalize the color we want.

I finally got my blog posts up about the garage bed. I still can't get over the before/after look. SO.MUCH.BETTER. I just need to get the actual plant descriptions in. 

I was in ONE MEETING for 40 minutes and came back to 20 emails, 3 skype messages, 4 slack notifications and 2 vsts notifications. WTH?!?? And then I've fielded 3 phone calls. All I want to do is eat my turkey sandwich in peace.

I bought 16 4-packs of vinca to plant and about a dozen of them died before I got them in the ground. The rest are fine. It's just random- not like a whole 4-pack died, just one or two of them. I'm going to call the nursery and see if I can return them (doesn't look like it from their website). But dammit, that's why I pay more at the nursery instead of going to HD or Lowe's!!

Nothing too exciting on H&G. We're on like day 15 of rain so it's been to wet to really do anything. Our deck is finished and we're getting estimates to do the staining. Only the support structure is wood, the rest is composite but with the detailed lattice work I'm sure it'll still be expensive.

We have to pick out some nice landscape pavers since we're doing the landing ourselves - right now we just have a mix of pavers so the dog has something to walk on instead of in the clay soil.

I also want to rip out my hydrangia. I want something nice and petite since it's a small space but unsure what.

I just walked into my kitchen and looked out to my apple tree to see a Baltimore oriole.

(I'm having an amazing amount of seeing and learning to identify the birds around my house -- this is a new one!)

Tile is starting to go down!

[treedimensional]

I wish people would pick up the dog shit in the yard before I come over to do work for them.

Floor is getting grouted tomorrow!

adhdfashion, looking good!

pumpkin, sorry you are having such a rough time. Hugs.

Our builder/contractor had to go back to Romania for his grandfather's funeral and had a planned vacation so our work has been pushed back. We were meant to start at the beginning of this month and now we're starting at the end of the month. It's fine as we have our house to stay in, but it's still a pain. I've had to move all the deliveries of stuff as well. And, my architect isn't getting back to me about a big question which might change our kitchen plans. That is more annoying.
