The dry-wall started going up today! It will be nice to have walls again. It's time to start making those decisions that are better left to the grown-ups, like bathtubs, fixtures, cabinets, etc. As I look around, I realize that I am the grown-up. How and when did this happen? I certainly don't feel equipped for this, but I can't just let somebody else decide for me, can I? Thank goodness Donna likes to pick these things out. Maybe she can be the grown-up. I still haven't gotten over my trip to the appliance store, and they had a package picked out for me. All I had to do was decide on the color, and I've already changed my mind about that. How much longer do you think I can pretend to know what I'm doing? For some reason, saying, "Surprise me," to the contractor seems like a bad idea in this situation, but it is tempting.
It has been an adjustment being home from vacation. The long drive took its toll on all of us, and I have been especially tired. That mixed with some very sad news has brought me down a little today. We did have a wonderful dinner of fried corn, cucumbers and onion, tomatoes, green beans, and fried chicken cheered us all up! I promise that I am not an emotional eater, but farm grown veggies are always good for the spirit. Still, it would have been lovely to have awoken on Hilton Head and had a day of sun and a good book. It's definitely much hotter here, which seems a little surprising, but it was cooler closer to the ocean.
