Wiped out today

Today was another exhausting day. C was "off" again, at least from his regular job, although I wouldn't call today a day off. We started by meeting the landscape architect to work some more on our plan. We got our first draft last week and it was pretty good, but I think after today it will be great. It was fun to see C actually getting into it and having ideas. After that, we grabbed a quick lunch and headed to the dreaded Home Depot. We looked at some wiring stuff for C's project of wiring the house for TV, network, phone etc. What a trooper, he was there for 4 hours yesterday and he hates Home Depot. After that, we looked at doorbells (yes, like everything, there are 100 to pick from and every one has different options). We also looked at appliances. My original plan was to buy cheap used and upgrade later, but my friend Holly pointed out that it would stink to have my dishwasher leak all over the floor I painstakingly laid. Plus, C really wants a big fridge and freezer. I think he's tire of the avalanche everytime he goes in the freezer (what can I say, I stock up at sales!). So, we will probably get new appliances, and if we do remodel in a few years, we will work around them. Plus, I'm thinking the kitchen is going to look really good (even though it's a bargain fix up) so it will be nice to have good appliances.

We picked up the cork flooring to be used in the bathroom. I ordered it Feb 9, and it was supposed to be in on Feb 23 which was two weeks. It just got in yesterday, and nobody called to say it was in, I called them (although they may have called later in the day had I not called). I had an un-delightful experience with the surly clerk at the pick up desk. She was just apathetic and thoughtless. After our Home Depot run, we headed to the house and unloaded my poor overfull car (which was functioning like a mobile warehouse). We called it a day after that.
