This and That

I told Sweetie that I needed to post something so people wouldn't think I'd died!
Things have been busy, busy at our house, and are getting more so every day.

Before I list all our chores, let me shout one word of praise. . .

IT RAINED!!!!!

Yes, we got about an inch of rain Sunday. I think it rained three times. One thunder boomer that came over woke me from my Sunday nap. Lightening and thunder were simultaneous and about scared me out of my skin!

Now, back to the chores.
We are getting our new kitchen floor on Saturday so I'm busy moving the kitchen furniture somewhere else. I have a baker's rack and it is loaded with collectables, dishes, appliances, etc.
They all have to go somewhere before Saturday. I also have to unload the refrigerator/freezer and the bottom of the stove (I have a storage drawer underneath.) The fridge has to be lifted over the counter/bar because it will not fit through the only opening. We are hoping that it will survive being turned on its back twice. It is rather old. The stove has to come out and also the table and chairs. A lot of work but, oh so worth it! I've wanted a new floor for ages and ages.
Then, after the new floor is in place everything has to be put back and the house readied for stage II, which will start on the following Tuesday.
We are doing the downstairs in ceramic tile (all except for the master bedroom and the kitchen.)
Everything has to come out -- the home entertainment center all un-pluged and unloaded, the china cabinet unloaded, all pictures, lamps, etc., moved out. The sofa and the love seat and the recliner and the dining table and chairs and the end tables, etc., etc., etc. The workers will only move furniture AFTER each piece is unloaded so that job is ours. We have to make room in the garage for the furniture. I think we will just move ourselves upstairs and use our bedroom to store the smaller pieces during the project. After the furniture is moved the carpet has to come out and the two small areas of tile will have to be removed so they can be replaced with the new.
The tile should take several days and I'm told that it is a dusty process so anything left inside will be very dusty afterward. What fun -- well, I guess this will be "spring cleaning" in the the summer!

There are two possibilities. One is that I will be stuck upstairs with lots of time on my hands and I can sew and blog, and the other is that I won't have lots of time on my hands. I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens. So, you may hear from me and you may not. Only time will tell.

Last note, YD lost her job. We are praying that she finds one VERY soon. She is a single mother and the sole breadwinner.
