I am really looking forward to the weekend. It has been a busy week at work this week! I work a few extra hours, so those are going to be banked, which is good since I used the rest of the banked time I had when I took the time off between Christmas and New Years. So, I want to start building up my OT banked again.
Today, both CT and dad are working on the bathroom all day. I can’t wait to get home and see what they accomplished! I think they were going to work on the electrical today and getting the last of the plaster off the walls so that they can drywall next week. Tomorrow, CT and I are going to look at a tile store here in town (they are only open 9-12 on Saturdays, how stupid is that). We tried going last Saturday at 1pm and were out of luck! I think we’re going to do with plain white tiles in the shower since they are only $0.29 each (as opposed to $2 or $3 each for the really nice ones), but I was thinking we could get a few really nice tiles (with the colours we’re using in the bathroom) and mix them in with the white tiles to make it a little more interesting. We may not find anything that works, in which case we’ll just stick with the white ones only.
Also tomorrow, we’re going to look a few more places for a bathroom faucet for our vanity. We want to get a brushed nickel one and those are hard to find for less than $100! There was one at Canadian Tire that we liked that was on sale, but of course, they were all sold out. Our hunt continues!
My Oma is going to Florida for 6 weeks and she leaves on Tuesday. This really worries me since she is losing her mind more and more every day. She forgets our names half the time now, she really has deteriorated a lot in the last 2 years. The upside is I think she forgot how to be mean! She is A LOT easier to get along with now!
The thing that worries me is I’m afraid that she’ll be in Florida and forget where she is staying or who she is or forget her passport somewhere. She’s going as part of a tour group, thank goodness, but I don’t know how closely they will keep an eye on them. I hope it all turns out okay! I offered to look after her finances (pay bills, etc.) while she is away, so I went over to her place to make sure everything is in order. Poor Oma is losing her mind so much that she doesn’t even know which bills she needs to pay and when we looked at her bank statement, a couple of things she paid twice because she forgot she paid it the first time! I am really glad that her house is attached to my parent’s house so that my parents can sort of keep an eye on her. I am really nervous about her leaving the country though!
