ME and the house

Both of us are getting primped and spit shined.

ME ... mammogram yesterday and gyn appointment scheduled.  Checking off the "girl" maintenance for the year.  Hair and nails coming soon to add that little sparkle. 💅💇

House ... $$$$$ continues.  Shutters done yesterday (they look nice).  Now metal roof over front porch needs to be replaced.  It's pulling up, but I think the painters pushed on it ... it's a lot worse after they were here.  Big $$$$ - more than you'd think and harder to find a roofer who wants the work.

House ... deck getting sanded and stained.  It needs it.  $$$

House ... upstairs carpet in 5 rooms followed by master bedroom painting (fancy ceilings and all).  If we're happy with that paint job, then the entire main floor.  I don't even want to know how much.

House ... waiting on landscapers.  That's also like pulling teeth.  I finally got someone to call me back and he's coming over this morning.  It's a big project.  Ugh.

All this needs to get done.  ME and the house.  The older we get ... you know the story.

Yesterday was spent on the phone all day with contractors.  A lesson in patience.  My workout was a good combination of lifting and cardio.  I lifted first.  I normally do cardio first, but I read the order should be weights then cardio.  It was a good one.

The mammogram went surprisingly well.  They usually run late and their front desk is less than kind. Not yesterday.  I was finished amazingly fast and everyone was super friendly.  Nice change!

Today is a rest day, a contractor visit and then up in the air.  I want a pedicure, but these darn bug bites are gross.  Some are open from scratching and shaving, some are closed but itchy when touched.  No one should have to "massage" that!

*TMI ALERT*
I stopped and got dinner from Whole Foods after my mammogram last night.  They had paleo fried rice (cauliflower).  I didn't like it much since it was a little too raw tasting.  Big mistake to eat it.  I can't do raw cauliflower (it was a little cooked though).  OMG.  The bloat and subsequent gas might be the worse I've EVER had.  I was miserable.  Probably hubby was too.  I still feel yucky this morning.  So afternoon plans are sketchy until I see if my stomach settles down.
*TMI OVER*

I just realized the picture of myself ... cold sore, bug bites, bloat ... I'm rocking it today lol!  Later gators.
