Yeah, I told you my life was fairly uncreative these days….I feel like everything I do is to propel my life forward instead of being able to create things to help me reflect on my life. Given my life the last few years….maybe reflection is the last thing I need to do…

Yesterday, Day 6, I spent an ungodly amount of time installing the plumbing in my new shower. It shouldn’t have taken nearly as long as it did, but I felt like I was suffering from a major brain cramp.

Today, Day 7, I think I may have burned a small hole in the ozone layer with the sealer I used to seal the stone in my shower. It is onyx, which is a very soft, translucent marble, which could stain and sealing should help *prevent* that. The sealer smelled like living hell, thank god there are two exhaust fans in that bath.

I also brought my lovely chrome & leather Breuer chairs back into my space. They have been sitting in the back bedroom during my remodeling project, but today, they are now in my living room. I polished up the chrome and cleaned the leather, so they look shiny and new.

In another (non) fascinating project for the night…I oiled my cutting boards.

Hold yourself back….I’m a crazy woman.

I am working on final touches of my year long project to remodel my attic space. (Which also involves having to rearrange most of my house, so putting everything back where it belongs is another piece of ‘thing a day for me.’) Today I installed a towel bar in my shower on the back wall. The shower wall is multi red onyx. Since I didn’t want to drill into the stone, I did what most tile setters do when they install ceramic towel bars….I used good old silicone to adhere the towel bar to the wall. I held the towel bars in place with blue painters tape to help the silicone set, which should take about 4 hours.

MORE POORLY DOCUMENTED ‘THINGS’ I DID TODAY:

Installed the heated towel rack, the toilet paper holder and the lever for my toilet!
