Remodels and more

So, we’re in the middle of remodeling our bathroom.  It’s a big job. We tore down the closet that was in there and are making a double vanity. We’re building the shower and tiling everything in travertine.  Well, we’ve learned so much and I’m so glad that we’re doing this.  The wall in the shower was literally rotting.  It was gross!  Well, we’re 1 week into it, and we are not even close to done and I really hate having to go all the way across the house to use the bathroom.  Hopefully, we’ll have everything done except for the vanity/sinks this week.  Those won’t be ready because I haven’t ordered them yet.

Yes, I know, it’s a bit late, but we’ve been rushed to move on this faster than I had expected and Jeremy (the hubby) kept saying he’d take care of it, but then got too busy at work.  Poor guy!  So, I offered to do it, but I know nothing, so I take 3 extra phone calls to get something done that he could have in 1.  But, I got the vanity ordered and tomorrow I will order the vanity top with sinks.  But, Jeremy said he’d have someone booked to do it by the end of June and we’re finally doing it in October.  I can’t really say we’re rushed, now can I?

I don’t think Jade likes that we’ve invaded her bathroom.  But, she’s being a trooper.  I think she’s starting to get her second set of molars in, so we’ve had some sleepless nights, a lot of runny noses, and a lot of things going in her mouth lately.  Poor girl! Although, it’s hard to tell, because when I ask her what’s wrong, she doesn’t respond yet. I don’t think she understands yet when I ask her what hurts or what doesn’t feel right, I get no answer. I really can’t wait until the day she can tell me where it hurts.  That is going to make my life so much easier.

So, I’ve started my first period since my miscarriage.  It’s depressing and painful. But, it means we are one step closer to starting to try again.  I have to get through this one and one more and it should be safe.  Hopefully, I’ll have lost enough weight to make us both happy enough.  So far, I’ve lost 6 pounds.  With one more month, I should be able to lose at least 4 more pounds (as long as I don’t ruin it on our vacation).  It would be nice to lose at least 8 more, but I know that’s pushing it.  I’m just glad that I’ve actually lost some weight on this diet after all. I just wish I could see it and felt better.  I still feel tired, fat, and ugly. Maybe one day I’ll feel pretty and energetic again.  Maybe…\

I made some pumpkin swirl brownies. I’m still waiting to hear how they are. No other noteworthy recipes to talk about this week.  I’ll be trying more stuff after the vacation.
