The original doorway to the dining room is now as wide as the new hallway. (The 2 boards in the middle are supports that have since been removed.)
It was Wednesday that the doorway was cut open, I got back to my parents from taking Aliza to dance and there was this gorgeous bouquet on the counter for me from Jeremy. These flowers have been such a bright, pretty spot in my days. I brought them home for the weekend, but otherwise they have lived at my parents' house.
During the day on Wednesday, I found out that HVAC needed us to clear out a closet. I didn't understand until late evening that we also needed to move all the boxes from one side of the toy room to the other. Added to that, when I got home Wednesday afternoon everything was SO VERY dusty. Way more than normal. Turns out the plastic didn't stay secure as planned. I cleaned up only enough to make supper because we had to eat and head out for youth group and club.
I felt discouraged and very tired, but I had gotten flowers so I couldn't be too down. Jeremy and I sat down together for our Wednesday night class. I made eye contact with a friend across the room and she came over to us with a huge bag of homemade snickerdoodle cookies. She was apologizing because she has wanted to make them and it had taken longer that she hoped. I told her it was just the perfect day for cookies.
And then I had forgotten that Aliza needed to stay after youth group to practice for a thing on Sunday so it was even later than we normally get home. Now I had received flowers and been given cookies so I really couldn't complain about ANYTHING!
Jeremy and I moved the shelves of food and then emptied the closet under the stairs. I didn't add a picture of the toy room after we moved everything to the other side.
Yes, plenty of dust on Thursday too.
Electric and plumbing passed inspection.
I *think* all of the soffit is finished.
When the children and I come home every day, it is almost a scavenger hunt to find what has changed.
