Hello, Again

It's been a couple of days -- hello :)

Here's a little recap ...

We got all the stuff finished that we planned.  Ceiling fan installed.  Hubby rocked this like a champ.  I HATED the other ceiling fan.  This one is okay.  Kind of wish I went with another one (don't tell hubby).  Ceiling fans are tough -- none are very good looking.  I tried to upgrade and it doesn't work well.  The problem is the very bright light -- more for a porch, I think.  I had no idea until we turned it on.  It takes a special light so no changing anything.  Good news is we only use it for the ceiling fan and a quick switch light.  It is what it is now.  I'll take a picture this week (I forgot, of course.)

"Fixes" on the clawfoot tub work well.  A cut pool noodle to direct any water off the wall, one continuous shower curtain and window shades.  This was a big win.  Water stays where it needs to and no one can see me shower (!!)  That said, the overall "look" of the tub is blocked by the shower curtain, but function comes first.

Big fail was the headboard delivery.  There was a mistake and it's not available.  We didn't find out until an hour AFTER the delivery window.  Ugh.  Ordered another one that will take 3 months to come in.  Furniture is massively back-ordered.

I ordered window treatments for the carriage house.  New blackout drapes and shades to be able to pull over the door windows when someone sleeps out there.  Glad to have that figured out.

Saturday it poured rain, but the day ended with a rainbow and a pretty sunset.

This is a big week for me.  Volunteering today (which is a back breaker sitting in that position and reaching).  I MUST clean this house before I head back to NC to clean THAT house.  All back heavy things.

I love Asheville and our new house, but it feels good to be home.  It's a quick turnaround to go back again for the Peloton delivery.  I wonder what it will feel like to be alone in that house (with the dogs, of course).  

After a year of "nothing" days, all this "going" is tough.  I'm craving a nothing week where my routine is the big news of the day.  It's hard to keep my healthy habits going strong.  Working on this transition (not figured out yet).

It's also my hormone week with my monthly expected.  This isn't helping -- AT ALL lol.  

I want to come back on Friday, but that means I won't see hubby for 2 weeks.  But, is it worth staying over Friday night for an evening together?  I don't know.  I'll have to see how things shake out.  As I said, I'm set to give the house a big clean and set up the beds a little better until the backordered quilts arrive (and the headboards).  The newlyweds are coming up the following week to celebrate my eldest's birthday and I'm trying to get things a little more comfortable for everyone.

In other news, my computer charger is on the fritz.  I ordered one to come tomorrow, but if it doesn't, I'll have to conserve computer time when I'm away.  It's an old computer so a compatible charger is hard to find.  

On that note, time to shut her down to conserve battery.  Happy Monday.  Have a good day and stay well.  Later gators.
