A weekend of little sunshine and everyone is happy to enjoy the comforts of home. We are in the full frontal assault on our bathroom and it's very rewarding. This is a room I barely entered for 14 years and now, to try to make it nice feels great. Replacing the sink and medicine cabinet put us on the path to renweal. James and I benefit from having a project to work on together. I have spent most of the last few days stripping the window in our bath. Peeling away 80+ years of paint- to bring back the original wood reminds me of the effort involved in keeping things whole. The fact that neither one of us has a full time job hangs over me uncomfortably. When will this chapter come to a close and we are financially intact again?
