House update + two mini rants

If you're interested. If not, no hard feelings. :D

The house is really coming along and I'm very happy with how it's turning out. The floors downstairs are completely done, yay! The girls' rooms are done as well. Mine is half done - the bedroom floor is in, but the bathroom and closet still need to be done. They've finished the girls' shower though and it looks so good. Mine will get started after Christmas, which is fine with me. They still have to finish putting the vinyl down on the stairs and the landing, new toilets in mine and the girls' bathrooms, new faucets in all the bathrooms, and a new kitchen sink and faucet. So close to being done!

Sunny has always been skittish as heck, but on Saturday, when they started upstairs, she was beside herself. So much so that this is where I found her at one point:

Yeah, she's ON THE STOVE.

My absolute disaster of a kitchen/dining room (the floor is covered in dust, it's not a different color, oops):

And now if you've made it this far, I have two minor vents.

1) I hate people with money. Back in 2006, we did a high rise of luxury condos. Today, I got a call from one of the people who had bought in that particular building. Her jacuuzi tub wasn't working and she needed it fixed. While she was very polite, she also would not listen to anything I had to say. Warranty period is one year, honey. And if the electrician said it's probably the motor or the control panel, WHY did you call the plumber? She eventually did listen to Rhett, so that's something, I guess.

2) I have friends who sell things to make money on the side. I'm fine with that and I'm happy to help out when I can. but when someone on your FB friend's list, who hasn't interacted with you in years - no comments, no likes, nothing - suddenly wants you to 'help them succeed in their new adventure' I want to scream. How do you politely tell them to stuff it? LMAO.

And I think that's enough out of me for a Monday morning. I'm also officially halfway through season 2 of The Witcher. God, as much as I love Henry, Joey Batey is really stealing my heart this season. But then, Jaskier cracked me the heck up in both the books and season 1, so, I guess it was destiny. Hah!

“Oh, come on!” yelled a voice from the crowd. “Everyone knows those songs are about Geralt the Witcher!”

Best Jaskier song yet:

Poor Sunny.

Otherwise looking good.

You know what I think about your FB friends.

I know, she was not happy. I texted that pic to Taylor and she replied with, "OMG what is she doing?" LOL

Thanks, I'm loving it!

Hah — I know. It's funny because I knew this girl long before FB, but once we became FB friends, she stopped talking to me. So, sure, honey, I'm going to help you out now. Not. :D
