Another vacation ends

As I sit and relax on the morning of my last day of vacation, I am wondering where the time went.




This was a reno vacation again, this time the porch. It was supposed to be a 2 day job, but deciding to insulate and paint added 2 days. This doesn't include the day to empty the porch and the 2 days it has taken me to do the finishing so far, and I still have all the crap to organize and put back in.



The worst part of my vacation, I lost my keys. I was only 3 places the day I lost them, Home depot (which if I don't go 3 times a day during renovations; I think something is wrong), Subway (the only real meal we ate any given day), and home. I have called Subway, which is the last place I remember having them, and they are not there. I can only assume then that I have dropped them somewhere in the house and since it looks like the porch threw up everywhere, I will only find them once I have moved everything again.

The room has turned out well considering once we started we found that the floor had sunk 2" in the centre and on the far corner. I really enjoy working with my mom, although at times I feel bad that she works so hard for us, and frankly, I can be a little lazy. She also gave up her vacation to help.

Thankfully the next real vacation is only 4 weeks away. Wow ... hard to believe that at this time in 4 weeks we will be on the ship preparing to set sail to Alaska. Which reminds me, I seriously need to start getting our stuff organized for that!

Wow. Nice work.

Tigger looks hella pissed in the first picture, though.

Thanks.

Yes, both cats felt very displaced over the last week. I think they are enjoying the new space though.
