The renovation finally | Weekly Snapshot

Posted on
I've been having quite a few busy weekends and haven't been able to post often on Sundays.  Renovating I have dropped a teaser here a few times but here's the scoop finally - We are renovating a big chunk of our main level. We've been planning this for the past 6-7 months. It started as a kitchen renovation project but now includes flooring through the main floor and master bathroom. We will have the renovation crew start tomorrow and depending on when all the materials get in, it could be 1.5-3 months before they are done. I just hope the flooring is done quickly because then we can reclaim some of the main floor back. Not having a kitchen for 2-3 months is going to be very challenging but we've been promised a small work area on the main floor where we can cook early morning and later in the evening. But I'm thinking more about the little things - making coffee while I work, taking care of the day to day activities - the upstairs and the basement can be used b

Inadvertently, I did disappear from the face of earth, though some of you might have seen me dropping comments on blogs here and there. That was my way of saying I'm still around, just that time isn't letting me type up something longer than would fit in a typical comment box. I've just been visiting friends and working my b*tt off. Reading, not so much.

I had very noble plans to schedule posts for last week, but I was just too tired of staring at the computer screen all day. I'm increasingly disliking coming home and looking at anything with an LCD screen on it, I guess it's the result of working 11 hours Mon-Thu, in front of the greatest time-wasting productivity invention of modern mankind. All the better, since that would make me use the weekends to write reviews and then bask in the glory of not having to write on weekdays. Moreover, I've been writing more essays lately. I've always been writing and proofing in my head, and now I want to actually put them down somewhere. I'm not sure where this will go yet, but it's fun even as a hobby.

And now time to get back to life as I know it.

11 hour work days...yuck. I totally understand not wanting to look at a computer screen after that. Take the time, be outside, and enjoy!

Yeah, I'm using the time to do something else, anything but the screen. It's a good thing because now I can make sure I read in the evenings rather than get distracted by anything else.

Eat, sleep and work -- and sometimes, that is all there is unfortunately. Hope things improve Aths.

I can understand why after working 11 hours, you would hate to look at the computer!  When you're back, we will be here still. So relax! :) 
Good luck with your essays!

I know. That can be so tiring. When they started summer hours, I was expecting more time to do blog stuff. Instead I'm running around busy four days and then I'm tired 3 days or not home at all.

Ha! Reviews? What's that! God, I am so behind on them that I decided counting them would give me some psychological problems. LOL!

I think it's tremendously cool that you also write essays, and would love to get a look at those one day. Take your time with the blogging as well. It's meant to be fun, not a chore, so when it starts feeling that way you might need a little break!

Do you write essays too? I used to write them earlier, but then lack of time hit hard. Now I'm trying to revive that hobby. It felt so good getting back to it.
