Episode 19 - A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Buy A Stove - Part Deux (that's French!)

Saturday - Finally got our long-awaited and well-deserved massages. It was too short and she didn't even touch my feet so I still want to go back for more. But I slept like a sedimentary rock in a pleistocene alluvial floodplain. Here comes M, back from the gym with breakfast stuff. Ooh, what's it gonna be this time?

Sunday - Found another stove, but then our washing machine broke. Picked one up two blocks away for a hundred bucks. Can we just go for a stove and come back with a stove? Cleared the patio of construction trash but now we have a busted old washing machine sitting out there. One can be white and one can take out the trash, but one cannot take the trash out of the white trash. Mowed the lawn wearing sandals. Neighbors may think me white trash, but I sure does got green feet.

Monday - Day of organizing. Sold the dishwasher. All kitchen items returned from office to kitchen. Futon from LR to office. Dining table from LR to DR. Dining chairs out of BR. Kitchen entry painted. Busted washer moved to curb. Old fridge to patio 'til sold. Entire place cleaned.

My God! Walking through the front door now is an entirely new experience. This place has been transformed. Bunch of details to finish but the light at the end of the tunnel is shining right in our faces. It's going to be fun having people over, especially those who saw the place before. Can't wait to see your reactions! Sheila doesn't even seem to notice. Bitch.

Thursday - Sold fridge for a hundred bucks. That pays for the washing machine. He'll pick it up on Sunday.

Friday - Toe kick finished. Sold kitchen storage cabinet. Backsplash tile due Wednesday.
