Sweet, GC! I love a good bathroom. Cousins of mine were building their own house and they made their daughter stay in a job she hated for Ferguson for the employee discount--and they paid careful attention to their 6 or so bathrooms, each individually designed.

Somehow it's where the luxury lives.

And, yeah, I did mostly choose this apartment because of the bathroom and kitchen fixings.

happy birthday WindSparrow!

hooray for Owen in school!

In my sister's first house in CA she had an amazing bathroom. When she and her DH moved , to lessen their commutes, you could hear the wail across the country as every visitor wailed " But... the Bathroom...!"

That's lovely, GC! Your shower looks amazing. I really like the seat.

What did you do for the lights? I really like the quality of light you have now, and how that plays off the colors.

Happiest of happies, WindSparrow!!

I am exhausted. Work from 8am to 9pm. Classes till 3:30, rehearsal (and a v. difficult one with a complicated scene) until 6. Misc. other work crap till 9. Including doing battle with 2 copy machines.

Then, I had to run to the store to get some stuff for class tomorrow. Finally got home around 9:30.

Am pooped.

This one aunt had a house with a guest bathroom...first time in I couldn't find the toilet. It had a closet big enough to fit a bed in--I slept in the guest bedroom's bathroom's bed more than once. There was enough room for two people to wash their hands while another person was on the toilet, someone was in the shower and a couple people in the tub comfortably.

Oh, and someone in bed.

She finally divorced her husband but neither of them would move out because they both wanted the house so bad.

I would get lost in a house like that.

Friends of the SO & I used to own a house, lovely Craftsman thing, tree-lined streets across from a sparkling river, that sort of thing. It had an upstairs suite that really was a suite. Giant bathroom, really luxurious. But the kicker was the toilet, which was open to the room, separated only by a half-wall of glass block. It was raised on a bit of dais, and had mirrors. When they said throne, they really meant throne.

My bathroom is maybe 5'x6'. Maybe. If I lean forward on the toilet, I hit my head on the corner of the sink. And it's better than it was before we gutted it and redid it, because the POs had a 3' wide, 2' deep vanity in there.

One of the many reasons I want to escape this house.

Fun at work:

Today was the last day to register to vote if you wanted to vote in the primary.

drunk guy. no car ( thank the good forces in the universe). speaking very loudly. (of course) . Wants to register to vote. I give him the form. and tell him there is a phone number he can call if he has questions. He fills out the form. Incorrectly. I know this because he wants me to tell him what to do with form. I am polite. You need to mail it today. I walked. ( so? ) Do I give this to you? no, I work for the library , not the registrar of voters. But I am supposed to be able to do this today. Yes, but the library only gives you the form. does someone else here know what they are doing ( snap) .sir, you can not register to vote at the library here. Have a new form to fill out correctly, then you can mail it. The I walked to the back room ( some people really are too stupid to vote) . When the drunk asked J if we could mail it - J said, I'm sorry , we are not the post office, you have to find a mailbox.

This is the first person in the not quite year I've been at the library that has made me actually mad.

ChiKat, I feel your pain. I haven't really been home yet (well, only for about five minutes so far). We're at the emergency vet because the nasty sore on Byron's nose got worse and spread to his lip. Doctor says it may be a simple infection or it may be cancer. I can't handle thinking about that now. I just can't. Byron is my baby. I'm hoping antibiotics will make this all better, but we won't know for days.

I hope your birthday was the best yet, Andi!!! And thank you! I just got the most beautiful red scarf that you made and a cool bonus of skin goop. Where did you find that color of red, it's gorgeous!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm so lucky!!!!!!1!!

I'm getting my hair cut tonight! Woot!

I can't wait to see, Aimee. I'll join you as a newly shorn one tomorrow. Right now, my hair is so shaggy I can hardly stand it.

Woe! I want that drug.

Me too! I wish I could remember what it was. I looked up the one discussed here on MedlinePlus, and was a bit freaked out by what they have to say about it. One the one hand, being informed is good; on the other hand, sometimes I think it's better not to know.

Speaking of migraine meds, they've been working on switching me, because they think that the one I've been taking that has been working wonderfully well may be giving me asthma. My doctor and I have been thinking that the last one I tried may be making me tired, unable to sleep, woozy, and a host of other side effects. Wish me luck with the new test!

With all the job changes going on here, I can hardly keep up, but continued job ~ma to askye and finding out and patience ~ma to Suzi, and congrats and ~ma to anyone I've missed.
