Morning all!
Thanks
@tazdev3225 for sharing all your pictures! Going to Alaska is one thing DH really wants to do. Love the bathroom.
QOTD non-traditional uses: for the kids rooms, when they were growing up, we'd remove those folding closet doors, and hang a shower curtain rod across the door, and they'd use a curtain or cute shower curtain for the closet doors. I was always terrified of them pinching their little fingers in the doorjambs. Right now, we have a similar set up, separating our bathroom/closet from our bedroom, as there wasn't a door there...and the light from the bathroom would hit me square in the face when DH would get up in the mornings! Also, for his bass playing, DH has a skateboard deck that he's attached some of his amplifier switches to; it's the perfect size, and easy to replace if it gets damaged. I use the hair dryer on low and cool to dry my nails when I paint them and am in a rush; and when I used to dye my hair, if I was doing just the roots, I would use an old toothbrush to control where the dye was going! Dh uses binder clips to hold his charging cords onto his desk; he clips the big ones onto the desk and feeds the cord though the hole in the tabs.
Got almost 100% packed yesterday. (Missing DH's flipflops and glasses, our power cords for phones/kindles; the phones/kindles; go-pro + accessories + batteries; binoculars; neck fans; and portable chargers....all last minute items!) I misplaced my swimsuit top; I went through all the bags twice to make sure it wasn't there, and searched the bed (the last place I saw it, where I had laid it out to pack). Found it underneath my robe on top of a box on the floor in the bedroom...a robe that hasn't moved in months.
It's weird; I swear things are moving around the house. I'm just under the weight limit on bags, lol. IDK how I'm bringing back souvenirs...I may have to leave DH's clothes behind....
Couldn't get on to post yesterday; I can't post on my phone because the ads are too much...and we lost power yesterday for about 5 hours. We had some seriously bad storms roll through yesterday; the road we live on was flooded; both front and back yards had at least 2" of standing water!
Glad I hadn't put the pork on yet, because I would have had to toss it! I did get DS's phone up for repair, and it's done; I just have to pick it up, and they called and apologized for it taking 6 hours, but they lost power too! It's fine, I told them no rush, as long as it was done by Thursday. Anyways, we was able to pick up Chinese food for lunch, and we just had leftovers for dinner. I did get the pork in this morning; it was still a little frozen, and was still good; but while I was prepping, we had a short 5 minute outage...
I told DH if the power goes out again, the universe is telling me to not cook this pork!
The rest of today is just sweeping/mopping; cleaning cat boxes; and putting out trash. Maybe I'll go get the phone; if not DH can pick it up after work one night, or I can go get it Thursday morning before we leave. The repair was only $29 + tax, and will be added to the cost of our next cell bill.
