Well, a couple weeks ago I decided since I had the flooring already purchased I would see what the sub floor was like in the kitchen and go for it! So I moved the fridge and tore up a bunch of the floor that I hate. I examined the layers of linoleum. Then, I got sick. The original plan was perhaps that weekend to work on the floor and get it done. Should be complete in a weekend right? Well, being sick I decided to go to the bf's house instead and am so glad I did. Nothing is worse than being sick and fighting with the dining room table to get in and out of the fridge. (It is currently in the dining room because I pulled it out of the kitchen to get the floor out) So, this week I decided I'm fixing the issue this weekend because I'm going crazy with my kitchen in construction mode. Thursday the bf came and helped me move the stove into the living room. Now the challenge is how long I can go without a stove...
So, I spent today ripping up all the old flooring and scraping as much glue and paper off the sub floor as I could. Then did some research on my rest breaks... I can't push myself too much because I'm still recovering from being sick over a week later... Found what I needed to do and went off to Lowe's. Nothing like buying a 50 lb bag of floor leveler, special primer, applicators, mixer, bucket, etc. and then find out that it only covers 48 sq ft and you need 72... so back to buy another bag before you begin. Then after you finish everything it turns out one bag was more than enough. Grr... Oh well, I will just return the other bag tomorrow. That will bring my total of flooring supplies to $89 to install the flooring that cost me $40. Still cheaper than it would have been so I'm focusing on that and how pretty it will look.
Thursday I received a text from my sister letting myself and the other sister know that Mom was in the hospital but everything was ok and should be going home Friday. Thanks for letting us know. Oh, yeah, she found out because she just happened to call and it turns out Mom went in to the hospital on Tuesday and nobody let anyone know. Not happy with how my parents seem to spread the word about important things. Mom is ok though and what happened was, as she put it, her colon had a stroke. There was lack of blood supply to her colon and so it caused some inflammation and pain. A quick google search says it is most often related to cholesterol but when I asked mom if they checked hers she said no, her cholesterol pills are working just fine. Wait, what?! My mom is on cholesterol pills? So now tell me how this isn't a family thing since her mom and two of her brothers have had issues with blockages... As soon as this floor thing is taken care of the diet will be put back on track. Seriously...
And for the small rant...
I changed my mind and decided to let it go. It doesn't matter anymore. I'm in a better place and a better person for it so I'm not going to say a word and just let it be.
