A Really Horrible Day

Today was one of those days that I never want to see again. No do overs would make this day any better. Tommrow must be better than today or I am going to spend part of the day baking brownies, fruit cake and what ever else I can think of.  

A Great Day

I have a very serious request from my east coast friends, please take your freezing weather back. Last night was our first hard freeze of the winter. Yes, we do get hard freezes in Tucson.  We have at least 2 more days with lows in the 20's and highs in the 50's. It is a little, ok a lot too cold for me. I know it is still December, but I am ready for spring and summer. Not to be picky thought I would like it between 80 and 110f.  The only positive I can think about for the cold, at least I get to show off my knitting for a month or 2 a year.  

Every thing that John and I could move out of the living room has been moved. Tomorrow we are in for round 2 of carpet cleaning.  We are also cleaning the tile and grout at the back of the house, then having it sealed.  I took the time to do another round of deep cleaning.  The living room as not been so empty since the kids used it for a playroom oh,so last century.  

On a really high note, we picked up the van from the auto body shop today.  John and I are so happy.  Eric does not seem to care one way or the other as long as he gets to hang out with his friends.  I also went to Grandmas Spinning Wheel to wind my yarn for the "Deadwood Cowl" by Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark, with Dream in Color yarn.  Now it is time kick back and to knit.  

Ugh More Paperwork!

As you can see by my two piles, I am just a little bit behind in filing Eric's paperwork and ordering books on "tape" from the Libaury of Congress. I will start with the filing and then go on to the books.  Maybe I can get one of the two projects off my plate today.  The to be shredded basket and the recycle basket are handy. Wish me luck. Ready set file....

Happy Holidays

As I light my grandmother's menorah for the last time this year, I would like to wish you and your families a year of learning and health. 

Finished

Eric's bathroom is finished the faucet and pop up drain were put in today.  

Granite and Cabs

The bathroom granite went in today.  This really changes the look and updates the bathroom. The sink was also put in too. He plumber will be here tomorrow to put in the faucet.  

The van will not be ready until next week. So today we tried the taxi. Besides being expensive they got Eric to his program 1 hour late and picked him up 1 hour late.  I am not impressed.  Eric really wants his van back. 

Bye Bye Old Bathroom Counter

Today the old counter in Eric's bathroom was removed.  I should have emptied the drawers. After that was finished I went on a hunt for a size 8 by 16 inch circular knitting needles to start a new project. All I can say is that I found more projects. Knitting needles in every size that I did not need. And a box full of projects that need to be knit.   Oh well I will post some pictures of Eric's bathroom demolition and do some more knitting.
