Our kitchen remodel is officially all done. We started on January 28th and ended on MArch 10th. Not bad at all. Today they came to install under the cabinet lights and to fix up a few little items. I thought it was just going to be some lights but they gave us a remote. With the remote we can control the various colors from red to green to blue to regular light. It was a free gift from the contractor. I am not sure we needed all the colors but it sure does entertain baby girl, so that is cool. We wrote our last check and our contract is marked paid in full. Hubby and I only worked a billion hours for this but it sure does feel good. Its been an absolute pleasure cooking and baking in the new space. Having space and nice appliances really does make a difference. The contractor asked me to make a video so basically he filmed me in the new kitchen as I told the story of the remodel. He wanted to play it back for me but I was like, never show me that video ever. I hate myself on video! He turned our key back over and it feels oh so nice to have our house back to ourselves. Before he left I did get a quote to fix up the front porch and door and to also paint and re-floor our bonus room. I think we will have to wait a bit. For now its just so nice to have our house to ourselves. But one day, we want to tackle those projects too. Hubbers also wants to landscape our front yard this summer. Always so much more to do on a house. Its like they say, "it's never done."
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
