The guys did the final caulk and set-up of the shower/tub yesterday.
If we put up a temporary curtain we could use the shower. I don't think we will. At this point a warm dunk in the tub (like a donut in coffee) would be fine. We'll wait for the shower until the doors are installed.
I'm using a new coffee this morning. Last Friday Wanda went to Costco and bought a 2 lb. bag of Pete's. It's a dark roast and very good. I'm trying to cut down my monthly coffee bill and this is $8 a pound.
I know I'm repeating myself but want to mention the shower one more time. We decided on a tub and wall surround rather than tile to keep costs down and get our investment back should we sell the house.
I feel a small amount of guilt I haven't been working a little harder on the blog entries. It doesn't take much imagination to write "the guys finished the sheet rock yesterday" but I can't concentrate with the work going on.
I feel a large amount of guilt I haven't been working a little harder on the Wii. I haven't been on it since the renovation started. Wanda and I both decided not to get on a scale until it's over.
We're trying to eat a little lighter.
Last night I grilled two Hillshire Farms Gourmet Creations Chicken Apple with Gouda Cheese sausage with fresh pineapple and asparagus. The sausage is 160 calories and 9 fat grams, the pineapple is.....pineapple and I know we burned a few calories running away from the "Fairy Dust" smell in the bathroom.
If you missed it in past blog entries: Why Your Pee Smells Funny After Eating Asparagus from WebMD.
Years ago Wanda was in the back "toilet room" and yelled something.
She said, "ASPARAGUS"
He heard, FAIRY DUST.
Every since that day asparagus pee has been fairy dust. If I ever come upon real fairies or fae I hope they have dust that smells better.
Turner Classic Movies is doing its yearly "31 Days of Oscar" films this month. Check it out for lots of great movies.
Last night while watching the introduction of "The Wizard of Oz" Robert Osborn noted Frank Morgan played five roles. I wondered what they were.
She said, "IMDb will tell us."
He heard, The beaver will tell us.
Frank Morgan: Professor Marval /The Wizard of Oz / The Gatekeeper / The Carriage Driver / The Guard
A study published in Pain magazine found less pain sensitivity in people with denser grey matter in the areas of the brain that control how we focus attention and in areas involved in daydreaming.
So how did the researchers test pain tolerance you ask?
They touched the volunteers with a probe heated to 120 degrees.
Does this hurt?
