Mr. TDH took the sundry offspring to visit some friends for the weekend while I was to be working. And work I did! I haven't gotten a work-out like this in ages!
It is totally depressing that about 1/3 of the work turns out to be irrelevant. (Well, not totally...truth is the grout was leaking and making a mess in the basement. Nice to put a stop to that, making the re-glaze project less urgent.) So here I cheer myself with a list of useful accomplishments for the weekend:
- Cleaned the kids' room top to bottom, and made some headway in organizing it. Also threw away tons of stuff I'm hoping they won't miss. Shhhh, don't tell.
- Three loads of dishes and four loads of laundry, washed, dried and put away.
- Freecycled several items, including giving about a ton of old bricks to a guy who is building a re-used brick walk to save energy. Rock on.
- Stripped off the ugliest pink wallpaper you ever did see in preparation for the continuation of Project Re-do The bathroom:

Who the heck wallpapers a bathroom?!? What were they thinking? "You know hon, we should do our bit against the global mold shortage by dedicating our bathroom as a mold nursery and preserve"? Or maybe "The 'distressed' look is so in style in clothing and furniture, don't you think it would be totally hip to have a room done in peeling pink paper?"
