The bedroom is finished, the new furniture is in place and once again the world is revolving in greased grooves. We are just waiting for the dresser mirror and one of the night tables, which are on back order, to be delivered and then I will take a few photos and post them here. We are also looking into getting some snazzy new form of window covering instead of the old time worn venetians. We are very pleased with the results and are glad we are finally finished. However, it still feels like we are staying in a bed and breakfast when waking up every morning to the new surroundings.
I am now a week away from surgery and last week went for the pre admission briefing to get the lowdown on what to expect. It appears I have to stop eating for about four days. Won't that be fun! Nonetheless, it will be good to get it all over with and then get home to rest up. I have two midnight shifts to pull starting tomorrow night and then I am done at work for a couple of months.
Angela had some wisdom teeth pulled last week and spent the next couple of days in bed recovering. She resembled a huge squirrel with a winter's supply of nuts in her cheeks while the swelling subsided.
I am hoping within the nest few weeks to get some more picture galleries up on the site. With the new camera, it is a breeze to shoot and post and most people enjoy a good picture of something rather than me blathering on trying to describe it.
