Would that I referred to a great little eaterie.
Unfortunately, today is the day for home repair. A while back, a certain fist flew and attacked a poor, defenseless wall, causing the wall to suffer a terrible loss of gypsum. A hasty bandage in the form of a calendar was applied until such time as surgery to replace the drywall could be performed.
Let this be a lesson to NEVER get me upset*.
Anyway, I was fortunate enough to find a gentleman who specializes in covering up drama driven fury general home repair. So today the hole will be patched, along with some dents around the house, and a few broken tiles. As a bonus, he will return once the weather is back to being Texan and do the mortar outside along the brick edge. Age is taking its toll on the house, I suppose. I’m just glad I hired someone to do the repairs. Because if it had been up to me, I would have used Lego™ bricks and E-6000™.
Of course, seeing the tile being replaced is giving me the urge to have it ripped out and have wood flooring done. And by “urge”, I mean “all consuming need”. But since this won’t be my retirement home (see what I did there??), I’ll probably just keep to repairing it and concentrate on saving up for the important stuff, like kids’ college and Le Creuset™ pots. And Lolita™ glasses. Drinking out of the bottle is so 80’s. That, and if I do drink out of the bottle people start calling me selfish. It’s a small sacrifice to make.
Have a great Wednesday, and remember to be kind to your walls 😀
* I didn’t actually punch the wall. A wayward ladder being carried clumsily by yours truly did. But being the bigger person, I take responsibility. I’m magnanimous that way.

I believed it until I saw the disclaimer and also realized you haven’t posted anything about a trip to the ER with a broken hand.

I wouldn’t post a trip to the ER.
It would take months to write about something like that 😀

All your bigness aside, I say we strenuously support ladder registration, and after we have them all registered, we send in the jack-booted thugs to confiscate them. Hugely popular midnight SWAT team raids involving the deaths of numerous paint cans and an occasionally innocent dogs and humans, just to show’em we can. It’s for the safety of the children….. So say some mad mothers.

I used to live in a hole in the wall. One night something tried to claw a hole through the wall of my hole in the wall.
Fortunately whatever it was did not succeed.

Well, it could have been Cthulhu, so congrats on dodging that bullet 😀

Urgh. We are on the home repair wagon this spring, too. Windows & possibly a bathroom remodel (driven by necessity, not desire). I’d rather spend the money on travel or booze or chocolate or… anything else. 🙂

Or travel and chocolate in Fredericksburg!! 😀
