Are We Done Yet?

I am so ready to be done with this bathroom!  Had to have my
friend come back yesterday and reset the toilet.  Apparently he
didn't get the tank completely emptied and as he tipped it on its
side, water drained out and leaked down into the bathroom
below.
Needless to say I had a big mess down there and today had to
replace several ceiling tiles.  And wouldn't you know they no
longer make the ones I have so had to get new ones, cut and
install them.  Thanks to my very handy son and (favorite) son in law we
got it all done.
My son also helped install new stems and taps on the bathroom
shower up stairs.  One more pipe under the sink to change out
and then I think we're about done!
Years ago I could do so much more and so much quicker than
now and it is very frustrating to me to have to depend on others
for so much.  I am basically a very independent person and it
is hard not to be able to do everything myself!  In fact my
Dr. was a little concerned with my arm at my visit this past week.
It is swelling with all I'm doing.  But I have to live and do things.
Also blood pressure was slightly elevated...too much stress I told him.
So guess I'm going to have to be a good girl for a while.   Hmmm, is
that possible?
In between things the last few days I've been cutting and sewing more
pillow cases.  Finished them up today...24 in total.  Perhaps I can
get a few more before Tuesday.  It is so relaxing to sit down at
my sewing machine and makes me happy when I can see fabric
bolts emptying.
Well, I think I've complained enough.  Really I am happy with my
bathroom and grateful for everyone who has worked or helped
with it, but I just want it to be done!
Tomorrow is another day and I get to go to work at the store
and then I'm going to paint my back garage door.  Maybe even
get a little stitching or sewing done.
Have a Happy Saturday!
