SEVEN YEARS!

 


SEVEN YEARS AGO, I did this:

ABOVE:  I jammed my fingers in the ranch slider in our Cambridge home.  I remember it hurt like hell!

Ever since then, my index finger's nail has continued to grow, but wasn't adhered to the nail bed on one side.

I never actually lost the nail, which was weird.

Yesterday, this happened:



ABOVE: It FINALLY lifted!  I was shocked.  I clipped the nail that was sticking up.  Now I have a good chunk of my nail bed exposed.  I wonder if the nail will grow and adhere to the nail bed ???  That would be neat, as it's been a bother for... well... SEVEN BLOODY YEARS ALREADY.

Fun fact, ranch sliders are dangerous!

Now, on with my day.

ABOVE: Now we have a little black overflow thingee.  Looks lovely.


ABOVE: AND black handles on the vanity.  The bathroom is now 100% complete.  I feel like it's a bit cluttered, so might do some tweaking soon.

Stew's leg: NO blood clot, which is fantastic. He's taking pain killers, anti inflammatory meds,  and antibiotics, and yesterday his leg felt a bit better.  Hopefully it continues to improve.

Today, I have every intention of making a start on my 'Hearts' wall.  Remember all the hearts I had on our bedroom wall in our last home?  Well, I have plans for them.


10.45 am:  Happy with my morning so far.
I have been struggling with reaching the microwave, it was simply too high for me.
Steve said he would bring it down a bit, but he's got so much on his plate right now, I decided to do it myself.
That involved demolishing a cupboard, but too bad.
It can be tidied up at a later date.

ABOVE:  Now, instead of the line up being Microwave/Medicine cupboard/Oven... it goes Medicines/Microwave/Oven.
It's not looking too flash but I don't care.  I just needed that microwave at a better height for me.

Next job.... Lacy called in and gave me a hand with the first part.  

ABOVE: Before she left she gave Coco a massive scratch session.  Coco lives in her winter jacket at the moment, so can't scratch to her hearts content.    She's a happy girl right now.

Now... back to my next job.

My next job is half done. I had to go out for supplies.  It was absolutely POURING WITH RAIN.  I got rather wet walking down to where I have to park my car.  I was not happy.

So I've just written the 'Management' here to see if something can be changed.  Probably WON'T happen, but it's worth a try.

4 pm:  My second job has only just ended.  I doubt I will be getting to the hearts today after all.  I'm knackered!  I will show you what I got up to this afternoon... tomorrow.
Cos I love making you wait!
Yeah Nah, I just need blog fodder for tomorrow! lol

7.32 pm:  Stew is home from work.  His leg is still bloody sore, but the swelling is going down.  So some positive progress.
We are now going to blob out and watch the telly till bedtime.

    Ha ha clutter Chris, my “less is more” is making my head spin. Glad Stew’s issue is working itself out. Marie, Melbourne

  2. Hopefully Stew gets better soon but it's a bugger not knowing what caused it. I'm with Marie on the 'less is more' but also realise we are all different and we need to live in a space that makes us happy.

  3. No blood clot. Good news. Hope it just clears all the way up.
    And your finger vail - that's another odd one. Seven years? This might be the starts of it fixing itself.

    Good news about Stew. Do you think your nail could actually have a fungus infection caused by the trauma to the nail. Check google and maybe visit a pharmacist to have it checked out 🤷‍♀️.

  6. That’s great news re Stews leg, not so worrying.
    Everything is looking fab as you get near the “end” of jobs there will be loads of tweaking I’m sure .At least it’s a tidy compact space. Benadine on the nail might help.
    Another stunning day here cold morning but super sunny.

  9. Options for your second car... make room for a car in the garage and put stuff back into storage. I personally couldn't imagine having a garage and not parking my car in it, especially in wet weather. If you had the smallest car in the garage you'd still have room to sew etc. Other than stuff for the markets, do you actually need everything you have in the garage? I suppose what I mean is the cost of a small storage unit v being able to park you car might be worth it.
