I know I said I was fine, but I'm feeling more and more bummed out about the delay with my dossier. Mostly because I don't know when it will be sent off. I hope it's by the end of October. I am losing my sense of ha ha.
BTW, I heard yesterday that the Medicine Hat fire that burned 5 businesses actually surrounded the CAFAC office in a U-shape! It is some kind of wonderful that CAFAC didn't burn (and my dossier and the dossiers of a number of other people!!). I would say there was some divine intervention there! It was a devastating fire, requiring 40 firefighterss and 8-hours to put it out.
In other news, my new floors are almost done. All that remains to be finished is about 3/4 of the stairs and they should be finished tomorrow when some replacement pieces arrive. The floors look wonderful - especially with the new baseboards in place.The painters were to have started today but they will be a week late. The floor should have been done already and I'm getting tired of the dust, debris, and tools lying around. But, I shouldn't complain. It's all going to be done within a month, so it's really not that bad. My floor guy is a lot of fun and he's doing a fantastic job. I just want my house back - the way I imagined it months ago.
The painters had better not delay again because with time to second guess my choices I have now changed the green kitchen paint color a couple more times, and I threatened to change the blue master bedroom too. But no more. I am so done looking at paint chips and paint patches on the walls... Except in the nursery. I have found a great pink to go with the yellow and I meant to test it on the wall tonight but ran out of time. I will paint it on the walls myself at a later date as I'm not sure how much I want to use or how I want to apply it.
I will post some reno pictures to document the Before and Afters. I meant to do so earlier but I've just been so busy. I can not believe it's already the middle of October.
I think part of why I'm feeling a bit down these days is because of the work being done on the house - my nesting is kicking in big time. Once the contractors are out, it's just me there to decorate with my old stuff and start buying new stuff for Myfanwy's room. I've chosen the nursery colors and I'm now thinking about how to furnish it. I even test drove a glider and ottoman at Sears today (and dayum, it was comfy. I could have easily taken a nap). I wasn't shopping for one either - it was just there. I'm pretty sure I won't be one of those people who waits for the referral before decorating.
Also, I'm hearing wonderful referral news from friends near and far and it makes me impatient. Even knowing full well I have a long wait ahead of me. I could be bringing Myfanwy home around Christmas time (next year) - talk about a shock to her poor system. yuck
So as not to end on a fun-less note, I think I'll blow a raspberry: http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/54954/detail/
