The house is coming along great. We got a quote (too steep, still looking) today to open up a doorway so I can hang a barn door I'll be building. I'm going to put a couple of deadlights in the middle of it, so we can see through to the kitchen. I may add some to the galley doors going into our dining room as well. Continuity, bitch. We've also got a solar installation set up and some insulation projects down the pipe. Somewhere in-between that, we're starting the remodel on our kitchen. Walls and cabinets. We'll go after the rest of it later.
I didn't really talk about what's going on in my opening post because my personal life has sometimes been fodder for in-fighting, and things have taken a bad turn very recently. I didn't want anyone to bring it up in their diatribes about me elsewhere, but fuck it. Who cares, right? My mom was diagnosed with esophageal cancer a few days before Christmas. She got sick really fucking fast, and spent the four days after Christmas in the hospital. She's been home for a few days now, and sleeps most of the time. Three, four weeks ago, she was perfectly fine. Tibs and I are currently trying to schedule all of her appointments to give my dad a break. Tomorrow, I'm going to try to get her to eat more. It's really taken over our lives. Not a complaint-just the reality of the situation. Cancer stops everything. The only reason I've been able to continue with some of the renovations is because I had last week off. I spent most of it in the hospital. The family area is a great place for dealing with phone calls with contractors. Tons of fun.
Anyway, yay, 2019. I guess.
Sorry to hear about your Mom, boy do I know the feeling. And yea, that kind of diagnosis stops everything. I can only hope for your mother and you and Tibs as much comfort and as little pain as possible while dealing with that. Your mom has great family that is for sure. Try to stay strong Shell and Tibs.
