What a Day!

I'm feeling overwhelmed today. This is more journaling than blogging, I guess.

This morning we had people come to install a new floor in our master bathroom. Things have been harum skarum for the last month with the shelves, medicine cabinet etc. out while I stripped wallpaper, prepped, and painted. We took the toilet out yesterday (on the front porch looking like a very tasteless garden ornament), part of the sink is in the hallway, shelves are blocking part of our closet, and stuff is generally stacked all over the house. I was so looking forward to being able to put it all back where it belongs and where I can find things. I got home from a morning meeting to find no workmen, no nothing. Turns out when they removed the old lino and the underlayer they found severe dry rot damage. A contractor comes tomorrow to give us a bid on what is going to be a much bigger project.

As I was absorbing this I went to take lunch to somebody in my FA group who has had surgery and moved (her family did the honors) while she was in the rehab facility. We had thought to provide meals for about a week until she will be able to do for herself with some shopping help. When I saw the kitchen she shares with a roomate, I'm not sure that she will be able to prepare meals even after she settles in. This, too, is going to be a bigger project than expected.
