One person — and I do mean person — has been utterly unphased at the remodeling going on at our house. Cement dust, boxes, broken tile pieces, chaos, scattered furniture, half-pained walls, stacks of books, stacks of clothes, masking tape, paint cans, grout, dozens of workers, trash, and lost items went unnoticed.

Repristination and Lily Pads
The repainting and retiling are finished. Today we will have our garage repainted and in a few weeks the outside of the house repainted. Then. We. Will. Be. Finished. For. A. Spell. I hope. Our home is not put back together yet. Slowly, slowly. Mainly because I feel like i move more slowly than I…
