Catch Up...

To begin, I mentioned the delay in working on the bathroom. Well, part of it was a nasty fall I had that put me in a blinded state for a couple of days! -the photo here is today, the 14th, about a week AFTER the mishap, and quite a bit healed. I never thought of a selfie at the time of the fall- The very night, a few minutes afterward, my left eye swelled shut, a large knot appeared on my forehead, and the several scrapes along the cheek and nose and under both eyes were bloody, and stinging. Then, the very next morning, all was still swelled badly, tho the pain was subsiding. To top it off, I lost my cellphone during the day sometime!! I searched everywhere. Bud tried calling my number. Nothing. Erik, my son texted Bud and said the night before [the night of the fall] someone called him while he was teaching class. He didn't realize until it was way late in the evening. After thinking I had lost it for good, the mechanic called Bud's number [I have his contact on my phone ICE -In Case of Emergency] the next morning; it was the secretary at the mechanic's telling us I left my phone on the counter there while I was paying for the repair work and picking up the car!

So a few days passed and no work done on the painting. Again, there are two individual rooms for both of our bathrooms. I finally felt up to getting some done about 4 days later. I did get the walls painted in ONE room and all the 'stuff' hung for decorative touches. I am gonna take another day to myself and relax then, begin the 2nd room.

This has been a week from H E double L.

after...

Note: I whited out the door opening to the 2nd room

Bud was in the Navy, stationed in the North Atlantic, Caribbean, and the Orient. Hence, his interest in everything of the culture/figurines, etc. I have one piece that goes into the 2nd room of the bathroom that has a 'history' to it, will hopefully remember to share it when that room is done.
