The Good:
It's been an up and down kind of week. Very busy with the flooring installers finishing up their previous job early so arrived to do my basement ahead of schedule. That's GOOD!A "basement reno" post will be on its way soon!
I'm way behind in posts but I'll catch up. Now that I'm stuck inside for a few days. That'll be explained in the "Ugly" section of this post.
Back to the GOOD....if cuteness was goodness Lily would be Mother Teresa!
Grooming for the holidays...Luna is making sure Lily lays still for her lickin'!! Lily's being GOOD!
This was such a momentous occasion I had to take a photo!! Five years since I last saw this price!! That's not good...it's GREAT!!
Well, Luna's intentions were GOOD I'm sure! It was nice to have her company while I cleaned out and re-organized the furnace room. Now it's looking GOOD!
The Bad:
The bad is only temporary thank goodness! And this is only a small part of it. Now that the reno is done I have several basement storage areas jam packed full of a) junk b) yard sale stuff and c) stuff I'm keeping. So let the sorting, tossing and rearranging begin! The furnace room is done.
Next up is the laundry room, the storage area under the stairs and the storage area off the laundry room. I've lugged a couple bags to the dumpster with much more to come. The other part of this job is putting my large collection of paintings etc back up on the walls. When I thought I was moving to PEI I took everything down and stored it in bins. Now I get to put it all back up again on freshly painted walls (mostly). Progress is being made.
Too much stuff!
The Ugly:
On Wednesday I felt my forehead getting tight but sort of ignored it. I've had a tiny bump in my widow's peak for weeks, it didn't seem to change, couldn't be seen and didn't bother me. Thursday morning I woke up with a Klingon forehead and a lot of facial pain. There was swelling on my forehead, around my eyes, bridge of my nose and cheeks. What the hell?
So off to the doctor I went. Their diagnosis - folliculitis. Massive antibiotics required. Who knew that one miniscule infected hair follicle could cause one's entire face to blow up? I look like I have two black eyes and my glasses keep sliding down because there is just one mass of puffiness between my eyes. The photo doesn't do it justice. I am not a happy camper as I refuse to go out looking like this and Christmas is less than 2 weeks away!! Bah humbug I say!!
