The Contractor Shows Up....YAY!

I almost couldn't believe it when the contractor showed up today.  When I got out of bed the second time, he was off purchasing some supplies.  That kind of got to me because he had been here, had seen it and yet had to go buy supplies?  Sheesh.  He should have come with some of what he needed.  But that's just my way of thinking.

Anyway, it looks like he did a fairly nice job of it.  At least now the door can be installed.  He did run out of aluminum siding pieces to finish up the job but he'll get that done tomorrow and start on the job of tiling the kitchen and dining area.  The Beast is tired of fighting trying to keep these floors nice and clean AND shiny.  This way we will only have the living room area and our bedroom to worry about.

Dennis came over early and he and the Beast ran over to Hardee's for the biscuits and gravy breakfast to bring back here to eat.  It was nice and hot and had lots of sausage in it for a change.  All three of us ate it and it worked for me.  I didn't have to cook.  LOL!

Oh yes, I have two more pictures of Chewlee for you from the other day.  I mentioned she had posed for the Beast (willingly, of course) and the pictures turned out great.  He sent me two of the pictures (the ones he printed up to frame).  I have the head shot in MY computer room and the other one is out on THE WALL.  That made Chewlee very happy.  She noticed the one of her I have and looked at it for a long time.  Then she asked me why I had THAT one on my wall.  I told her it was because I liked it.  She just smiled, gave me a hug and sat down to watch TV until her mother came to get her.  She had hoped that she would have time for a Cup O' Soup but it was not to be.  The Princess came to soon.

Okay, here are the latest pictures taken:





The top one is hanging in my computer room.  She looks like such an angel, doesn't she?  I wish!

She didn't get a smiley face today.  Her big problem is talking.  She can talk and talk and usually does it when she shouldn't.  That's how she gets into trouble.  Ah, what can you do except tell her that she needs to learn when she should and shouldn't be talking in class.  The classrooms are small and so are the classes so you can't get away with anything.  I told her I thought she was smarter than that.  She just got this sheepish grin on her face and then told me that she really WAS trying to be good.

The Beast wasn't feeling good so he went to bed very early for him.  It was shortly after 8:30pm.  That guarantees that he will be up early again.  I'm doing the wash because they will be disconnecting the washer and dryer and we won't be able to use them for a day or two.  I have the last load in the dryer as we speak and will be going to hang up what needs hanging up (it's a dark load, if you get what I mean).  It's got mostly pants and dark shirts in it plus a shitload of the Beast's dark socks.  I have no idea how he came to have so many of his dark socks in the wash since I do that at least once a week.  I swear he had them hidden somewhere.  Of course, there are times HE does a load of wash and I think he may have washed and dried them but never mated them up and just left them at the bottom of the basket.  It's a puzzle.

It's getting colder than hell right now and will be all week long.  Tomorrow our high is only supposed to be in the forties.  I made the Beast bring in our winter coats and jackets.  I already have my gloves and even my two hats for the worst weather.  I did mention I am a wimp, right?  I would rather hibernate during the winter than have to be out in it.  Brrrr!  And I think this spell of 20 degree nights has winter written all over it!

Well, love you all and I hope you have a great Hump Day.  Every time I use that phrase, I think of the commercial with the camel asking everyone in the office if they know what day it is.  Cracks me up every time I see it.  Be good and drive carefully.  **Wink**
