progress
Gosh I never post anymore. my life isn't that interesting really.
Over the summer, I was Neil's driver instructor as he drove around with a big fat "L" on the car. 3 or 4 nights per week, i was beholden to going for hour long drives with him. at first it was fun, but after a while, it got super annoying. But I guess relationships come with these sort of things. And now, he owes me big. I should remind him of that regularly. Last week he took his exam and got his "N". now he can take the car out on his own without me. Hurray! Suddenly I have much more free time. It's so nice. People think it's weird that he didn't get his license before this, but he never needed it. Still it's a lot nicer that he has it now.
I have lost 23 lbs since August. I'm still working on losing more. I'm going to get my haircut tomorrow. it's a mess. i just want to cut it really short, make it all go away, start fresh.
Also, Neil and I are going to have our bathroom renovated. I'm a little wary of the process and of the bills. but it needs doing badly. it's 30 years old. the pieces are sage green. the sink and tub have chips in them. the floor is loose linoleum. so basically the whole thing will be gutted and replaced: tub, toilet, sink, vanity, floor, mirror, lighting. We are getting the lighting moved from the ceiling to the wall over the mirror. we're also getting the ugly ancient medicine cabinet thing taken out and the wall re-plastered or whatever it's called. also we are having the door replaced by a pocket door, to free up some space. and while we have the guys in doing their thing, we're also having our kitchen counter replaced. the one we have now was painted navy blue by the previous owners, and the paint has rubbed off in areas, so it's a mess. I can't wait to have all of this done. it will be sooooo nice, five years we've lived in this place, and all we've improved is the flooring.. it will definitely be an enormous annoyance while it's going on. there will be a night when we are without a toilet for example. and a day or two without the ability to shower. so it will be like camping but indoors. hopefully though, we'll manage okay. One thing for sure, it will be a fantastic investment.
