BATHROOM FLOORING

Today is going to be much slower than the past two + weeks.  I am going to potter around in the garage, sorting out fabrics primarily.

They just got put on the fabric shelf willy nilly... and some ended up in boxes on the shelves cos we ran out of room on the shelving!

So, I shall make a start on sorting it all into colours/types today.  And prioritising what goes on the shelves, and what gets grouped into boxes.

At around mid-morning I shall be popping out to meet up with the man who is renovating our bathroom.

I have to choose the flooring.  I just want something like what we had in our last house... wood laminate.  It's warmer that tiles.

Once that's done, I am going on the hunt for a new sewing room chair.

The one I had was awesome, but it was far too big for my smaller space.  I hope to find something today, as I've been sitting on a stool, which is not comfortable at all.

ABOVE: When we moved here, and the garage was stacked to the gunnels with boxes, I never in a million years thought I would get my big sewing trestle up.  I am very happy that it is up and I can use it.

I had thought I'd be lugging it into the lounge to use it every other day.  SO HAPPY.

I went out at 10.30.  Met up with the bathroom reno guy.  Chose the flooring for the bathroom... it was very quick cos I had already decided what I wanted.

Then on to Steve's work to say hi.  But he wasn't in, so I left him a cute note on his computer screen.

Off to FOUR different places that sell office chairs.  Could NOT make up my mind, so left it for now.

On to the Base where I bought a new garage remote.  A slimmer version than the clunking, bulky thing that is here.

Grabbed some lunch and now... three hours later, I'm home.

And about to head into the sewing area to do more sorting.  *sigh*  I am utterly exhausted.  My arms are DEAD.  My lower back keeps going into a spasm, with sharp pains.  Oh to be 20 years younger right now.

3.38 pm:  I had hoped to get more done this afternoon in the garage, but the 'issue' we  have run into here in the village has taken up quite a bit of my time today.

I visited the people who have 'the' problem... then the Area Co-ordinator visited me.  The issue IS going to be resolved, but not quite how the complainers want.  But as it's not our fault what has happened, we can only do so much.

The Area Co-ordinator has been wonderful, and made me feel MUCH better.  He even gave me a big hug when he left.  Nice man.

So now I am back in the garage, working on my sewing space, and the fabrics.  Phew... there is much to do.

5 pm:  And I've got quite a bit done with the sewing area.  It doesn't look like much, but it involved moving my sewing desk, ironing board and computer screen, three things that just HAVE to be in the right configuration for me to sew happily and easily.

I've actually given myself a bit more room to move in and out of the sewing desk area. 

I've stopped sorting the Patchwork Strips for now.  I realised it doesn't have to all get done right away.

There is always tomorrow. 

ABOVE:  Coco has been out of sorts today.  Just acting really old and stiff, having periods of just standing dead still... not even looking at anything.  She has just wanted to be beside me all afternoon, so when I finally sat down at about 5 pm, I put her on my lap and she just lay there and slept.  She didn't even get up when Stew arrived home from work.  

She ALWAYS goes mental when Stew comes home.. running around in circles and acting like a mad thing.  Not tonight.  She didn't even look up at him.  So yeah, she's not herself.

Bit of worry.  I'm hoping she's just cold.  It has certainly gotten colder these past few days.

It's now 7.10 pm, and we are settled down for the evening.

Catch ya tomorrow.
