Good morning!

I went last night and picked up the tile for the floor. It’s a good thing I did since they only had enough left to do my project with. I had a delightful young man help me with it — he measured it off the roll, wrapped it in shrink wrap, took it out to the truck and loaded it, then tied it down complete with red flag. It was quite refreshing to be helped by someone so knowledgeable, courteous and kind. He told me he had risen to his current position pretty quickly and I can certainly understand why if he approaches everything in life the way he did helping me with my issue. I foresee a bright future for this young man. If he goes into politics, I would vote for him, but he says he wants to go to California to become an animator.  — Well, I guess that still wouldn’t preclude him going into politics 😆

Anyway, my big project starts early in the morning with removing all the small objects from the room so that when the two young ladies who are going to help me move furniture come around 10, only those large pieces will remain. I’m hoping I can also get them to help me manipulate the roll of flooring as it’s quite heavy! Of course, I won’t get to that right away as I have to pull up the old carpeting and get that out of the house, then vaccuum the floor before putting down the double sided tape that holds the flooring down.

I love the texture of this floor –it’s not slick at all and looks a lot like quarried rock. I will also probably rearrange furniture when I put the room back together again — I mean, why miss out on a good opportunity? I probably should spend a little time drawing out where to place the furniture before someone actually moves it back into the room. It just wouldn’t do to turn this into a Lucille Ball comedy routine no matter that Ken sometimes accuses me of being dingy.

Oh – -if you feel like getting some new words for your vocabulary today, go read my newest poem and then see if you can figure out what all the words mean — nevermind figuring out what the POEM means 😛

Well, let me see what work is going to bring today.

Love to all,

Margaret
