Been working hard on the house again this week. I have ran a lot of the electrical including all the kitchen stuff except the wall oven thus far and living room and dining room plugs. I am actually getting quite good at this sort of thing. i sat up one night that I could not sleep and read the book from Home Depot about Electric for houses and away I went.
Matt has totally done all the plumbing for the new bathroom and worked really hard on tiling the bathroom floor as well.
This is old news but a draft I found and figured I had better publish and add to it. On Friday I built a new railing in the back porch so that Matthew can get around a bit easier. I have also made this into a plant wall. In the mean time I have been giving all the walls in the house a second and third coat of dry wall compound and sanding in between so I can get ready to paint soon. It has been an up hill battle to get a lot of this done, because as most of you know Matt is laid up in bed most days and I am having to do a lot or all by myself, which is fine but you loose desire to do anything somedays and I feel so bad for him and know he is in excruciating pain with his back and leg.
I will struggle on and get things done, as really there is not a hole lot left to do, I have to get the electrical ran on the second floor, tile the bathroom walls and finish and few odds and ends and then I can start painting in here and make it look as beautiful as we both planned, after the painting is done i will finish the floors and set up house the way it was meant to be for us, yes we are behind schedule but this shit happens and it is just a part of life.
I got really depressed about it a couple weeks ago and just lost it, with all the family shit and everything else that was happening and poor Matt being sick and him feeling guilt because he can't help well, It just made me feel worse. It is such a horrible feeling when you love someone so much and they are in constant pain and there is not a fucking thing you can do to help them at all, that is how I feel day to day and it just makes me feel like shit and I know I am doing all that I can , but I wish I could do more to make him feel better.
So anyhow, yesterday I canned and made homemade Tomato Sauce and also beet pickles. It turned out really well but took a seriously long time to get done, like six damn hours.
Today is thanks giving and I have to say I am thankful for having Matt, a great husband, and my best friend in the world. Also i am very thankful for old friends and new friends a like who have made these past few months a lot more bareable in every way.
|Happy thanksgiving to all my friends here in Canada and if you live in the States and are reading this , then a Happy Columbus Day to you.
