Blogger is being a pest...did someone report it I wonder? I can't put a title on my blogg right now...gr.

That aside.....this was my blogg from Monday July 8th:

Remodeling/Renovating/Rebirthing Mania!

Let's see where to start....the kitchen would be the obvious answer to that I suppose. The obtrusive and rather poorly planned cabinets are totally gone, not even a trace as now all the spackling, sanding and texturing is done. THANKS Howard! Mary is coming over today and we are going to start putting the paint on. I can't wait to see how it all turns out! Many are asking for pics and I'll be sure to post them as soon as they become available.

Other house news....most of C's stuff is out so now it's just the clean up. He's got until the 18th to get whatever is left (I'd like to avoid the constant coming/going scenes for Max, plus...it's time for him to get his stuff out) will go to GoodWill. Now that this piece is moving forward, I can get into the basement, closets and other area's that I now have more space to organize and customize to my own expectations!

The basement got a good, thorough cleaning this morning and I'm letting the spot cleaning dry before I put down the newly laundered area rug (PU, that thing was N.A.S.T.Y!) and this gives me a canvas to begin planning for the downstairs.

Mary and Howard are helping me fix all sorts of little things and Howard (bless is heart) has been patienting explaining things that I really have zero knowledge of. I feel a little silly, being 31 and living on my own over half of my life time now with little (or none really) handy-woman type of experiences. But, it feels good to learn things. Hrm, what a concept.

Emotionally, this experience is marking a rebirth of sorts within me, it is more than a deep breathe of fresh air. The Spring Winds came up from the ocean and over the moutains to cleanse this life, this home and this spirit. I honestly feel completely reborn in many aspects and I feel so incredibley ALIVE today for the first time in months. Many months. I am exhuasted, but it's the kind of tired that lets me know the good fight is being fought, the fight that lets me reclaim my life, my heart and that all the sacrifice, fear and anxiety of these past few years hasn't been for nothing.

I can't thank Mary, Howard & Kristen enough. Their love, support and assistance is unwaivering and solid. It's great!

Till next time, peace!
