Remodelling & Whining Update

All of you - fine, both of you - who read my blog might well assume that, after two months with no posts, I'd decided to abandon the whole thing. No, no, I've just been so very busy. (Which is a nice way of saying I've been wallowing in despair and ignoring my own very wise advice to myself which was something along the lines of, "NO wallowing. Particularly in despair.")

I thought I'd more or less avoided the obnoxious grief thing, but turns out I only postponed it. Then it hunted me down and beat the holy living crap out of me. It didn't get me right away because I was cleaning out my mom's house and I had the hard work/focus on mom's stuff to exorcise my grief with. When the contractors started, however, I had to wait until they were done to resume my work over there...then two months went by and I can't remember a damn thing about those two months. It's like I was sleepwalking. Anyway, I snapped out of it, cried for two weeks, and now I'm okay and my (current) house is REALLY dirty because nobody cleaned it while I was sleepwalking.
I feel like...er, that character in that series of books everyone is reading that I will not admit to having read (twice), when, in the second book she is so upset that she just goes numb for a long time. Then, of course, when she snaps out of it the ouchiness is much worse than if she'd just faced it and run off with Jacob in the first place. I mean, uh...nevermind. Let's move along.

OH LOOK, my bathroom is done. Let us review the before pictures:

As you can see, the old bathroom was MARVELOUS, but there were a few things wrong with it. Some of those things you can't see in the photos, but I will not describe them here, in case any of you might be eating.

Here's a few snapshots of what it looks like now:



In my opinion, the new bathroom is a bit of an improvement. In my next post, whenever I get around to that, I will show the new kitchen. And also maybe some yarn. (Apparently, while wallowing in despair, I went a little sweater crazy.)
