Today I'm attempting a floor repair!  I have ripped up the carpet and there is some glorious (not) 80s lino underneath.  But some has been ripped up in a couple of spots and I need to patch it to even it up to the top of the Lino.  Wish me luck!

My sis and her dh are coming over Saturday to help me lay the new laminate.  So today I have to get the baseboard and quarter-round and get it painted for install.

I'm quite disappointed though.  I had someone who was coming in to paint the room and build in a closet across one wall.  He has yet to return my call.  Nice.  He has done work for me before.  As well a friend was going to pick me up the trim for half the price plus I drive a small car.  I asked several times over the past few months and then again this past Sunday.  Told him if he couldn't to let me know.  Tuesday evening he tells me he can't.  In a text. I say that's unfortunate.  Keep in mind this is after telling him twice in three days that if he can't let me know as I need to get it painted etc for the weekend. I was in the middle of cleaning up an extensive trail of pee at the time from kitchen to backdoor as ( I swear Eddie has add) as Eddie had left himself short and was peeing as he ran to the door! I can't believe there is that much pee in a dog! First accident in 6 weeks or so, hopefully the last.  Anyways I get another text a while later from him saying I've made him feel like shit, well done!  Shaking head.  I texted him back told him what had happened and he should have called me if he was po'd.  This is why people shouldn't text.  Long story short, I texted back then called and left a message and he hasn't replied.  I don't feel like I should be responsible if he feels guilty or whatever.  It really is ridiculous but if I lose a good friend over this then he wasn't that good a friend to start with I guess.  Opinions?

How did the floor turn out,  oscar?  Did you make up with the friend?   I find it best when asking favors (or even if the other party  offered to help)  is to set a time limit like in 3 weeks time or so.  For example I am doing this project and would like to get it completed by October 19th.  Will that be a problem for you?  And either they say yes or no and that way you won't be strung along for months.

wendy...Good for your hubby.  Things are looking up for you 2 this year.  That's good to hear. 

And it's not so bad in the winter once you get used to it.  I love how quiet and still it is at night.  Of course, come March I am complaining that winter has worn out its welcome.  Now scram winter it's almost springtime.  I'm getting mighty sick of you now.

Hi Oscar!  
 

You've gone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
 

Today is my last day of work.  Last night was the last night of going to bed alone.  This morning is the last morning of waking up alone.   Hubby is driving up this evening, we're going to camp out here until Wednesday and enjoy the mountains of New Hampshire.  The leaves are really good right now and we will take the scenic drive and go play in the mountains with the dogs.  This is one of our favorite places to be.  And after we leave the majestic beauty of New Hampshire I will go live in an actual house like an actual normal person.  I know life will be driving me crazy again shortly, but right now I am happy.
