Happy birthday to TomW!
It's forecasted to hit 102 today, 104 tomorrow, and 106 on Friday. Actual temps, not heat index.
Crazy temps. We were on the Canadian border on the St. Lawrence and it was 90. Places there only have fans. But it was still grand storming the castle. We went to a small pub in Alexandria Bay and I had a Riesling from Thousand Island Vineyards that was super tasty. It tasted like biting into an alcohol-infused apple. Also had fried cheese curds dipped in maple syrup. Decadence. Two days of wandering with the family visiting various places along the border was a delight.
The next thing is for the asbestos mitigation team to start working on the tile floors, but because of said issues, they won’t be able to start work until next week.
Bleah indeed! I'm sorry it is taking so long.
Negative covid test wishes for all. And yes, Epic, making a list beforehand is so helpful. I hate getting home and remembering what I forgot to ask!
I got to spit in a tube and. They have sent it off for genetic testing. They were like “do you want to test for the basic stuff or more?” And I was all “clearly you haven’t met me. Test ALL the Things!”
Sheryl that sounds awful! And a long time out of your house.
After it taking forever to get a contractor to talk to us about our bathroom remodel, we found one who wants to start next week! So now we're scrambling to clear space in the garage to receive deliveries of tile, fixtures, and the like, not to mention clear out the two bathrooms slated for reconstruction. Also we need to make up our mind about just what tile, fixtures, etc. to get, and quick-like. Which brings us to the eternal debate:
Dylan: We must respect the mid-century modern style of the house.
Me: Awww. Don't wanna!
Currently, this involves me pleading the case for this as the floor tile for our tiny master 3/4 bath: [link]
I think it would be gorgeous in an otherwise simple room, one with white walls and simple, non-fussy choices for the vanity, shower tile, fixtures, etc. But it's decidedly not mid-century modern.
Princess? Would she accept the title of princess of Halloween? But erika's suggestion is good.
I can maybe convince her if she can have her ow minions.
That is really cool tile!
I know, right! (Though I have a feeling this weekend will involve visiting a specialty tile store or two and seeking a compromise.)
I've told a friend before (unintentionally) that the lurkers support them in email.

Note to self: check to see if a phrase on Buffistas is an American pop culture thing or an internal Buffistas lingo before trying it with non-Buffistas.
That tile is lovely. And star patterns were huge in the late 1950s, due to the popularity of the space race. I think an argument could be made for that being at least mid-century modern adjacent.
Yeah, what Calli said! That tile is beautiful and you should go for it!
