the grout's the wrong colour, the shower base doesn't look like the one we saw in the showroom and the retrofit shower hole is in the wrong place so they couldn't install it anyway. plus the kitchen appliances are all still loitering in the living/dining room and if we go ahead and change the grout then it looks like they are staying there alot longer ie no kitchen/no food. on the plus side my husband looks damn sexy in a suit. its a shame we still have a houseguest who would be a bit disturbed if i just dragged my man into the bedroom.

work is slow and boring. i've been reading "firefly (how it might have been)" scripts and i found out that, not surprisingly, lemon cake is not a cure for stomach ache, it just makes you feel sick.
i had a feeling all morning that there was someone i should ask something of but i couldn't remember what it was. then i got an email from my dad letting me know how mum was and i felt crappy that i had forgotten to ask. my mum is completely unable to sit still and relax. all my life she has been busy doing "little jobs" that probably don't need doing (and certainly don't get done very often in my home). now she has these pains down one side and she still won't take it easy. i've told her that i'm not pushing her around in a wheelchair just because she "needed to do a bit of ironing" instead of sitting still and getting better. not that even tough love gets through to her. i don't think older people like it when they have to slow down. it seems to come up on them all of a sudden and they find it quite offensive that they can no longer do the things they used to do. i'm all in favour of not getting old. i don't mind looking old i just don't want to get old.

i've doomed myself to hell and hot pokers: i told a big fib to two of my friends. basically, we need to have sex on thursday night (it's been impossible to find the time/space to do it while we have a houseguest and while work is being done on our place) and i've had to make up a reason for not being able to meet up with the pretty ballerina and Dee. i feel really bad. we've had this night arranged for quite a while and since we hardly ever manage to get together anymore i hate that i'm the one to break the date. on the other hand, it is for a good cause and i honestly feel that, although it's been fun, i'm going to need a night off from people after having Dutch M staying with us for the last week (he's leaving early thursday evening). anyway, the cg says i shouldn't worry because he will probably go to hell too. he'll save me a seat.

there is absolutely no reason at all for me to feel tired and yet here i sit struggling to keep my drooping eyes open and my yawning mouth shut.
it's raining in vancouver and there is nothing i would love more than going straight home from work and hanging out in bed with a book, the tv and my husband. that is not to be. we still have a houseguest who probably doesn't want to hang out in bed with us (at least i hope he doesn't) plus i have to find gifts for a 2-year old and a no-year old on the way home. (i love giving gifts but i hate finding them, and buying for certain other people's kids sucks). plus we have to go out for dinner because we still have no kitchen. i'm so sick of going out for dinner. i would be quite happy with a plate of beans on toast or a simple bowl of cereal but even if i had the facilities to make those things i couldn't really offer them to a guest.
i found a really nice house for sale in york today. one of the things i love about these "period" houses is the fact that they have a seperate "sitting room" and "drawing room". how cute and old fashioned is that. of course i have absolutely no use for a formal sitting room but still it's quite a novelty. this place also has a large dining room and an eat in kitchen. just think how much time (and money) i could spend decorating. it would be heaven.

my feet are killing me. we did a hike up hollyburn mountain and we couldn't have picked a hotter day if we'd tried. you could have literally fried an egg on my forehead while i was dozing at the top, although i might not have been too happy about you doing it. i've just taken a shower and i finally feel clean again. i guess we are going out for dinner somewhere in a bit but i'm sick of eating out. we don't have much choice though since the kitchen appliances are still living in the dining room.
