kitchen?  
Got a call from the kitchen contractors and our new kitchen cabinets are in. Yay!

They hope to deliver them tomorrow and start work on installation on Monday. Looks like we'll have to spend some time clearing out the kitchen this weekend. I think the most important thing will be installing the coffee maker in the guest bathroom. I might want to pick up some paper plates and bowls so we don't have to worry about dishes for a couple of weeks. Hmm, now that we have a dining room light, perhaps I can add a power cord towards the dining room table for snacks, microwave, toaster, etc. That might work. I hope the fridge can remain plugged in and just shifted as necessary for the workers convenience. Hmm, should clean up behind the fridge, (eek) and stove for that matter. Oh, and  need to go shopping for a new over the range microwave...

yay!
sigh.

At least I asked for tomorrow off to attempt to fight this cold, run some errands and relax. Dunno how much of that I'll actually get done, but hopefully I can at least renew the driver's license and catch a nap.

Alan takes his coffee very seriously.

Others take it with cream to dilute the intensity...

Marcellus doesn't drink coffee, but has learned how to make it for me (in self defense, he says). I can't start my day without coffee. Anything else is negotiable.

I bet Alan will be up and making coffee from his deathbed. The only time I try is when he is truly immobile.

A couple of weeks?

Is there more being done than cabinets? Most should be installable in a day or two.

Cabinets in a day or two, then final measurements for the counter-tops to be installed and plumbed around 12/8. So flurry of activity, wait, flurry of activity, done. At least that's my hope.

There has to be something essentially wrong with me because my first thought was a flash back to SCA situations when you did all that care and feeding of royalty with such cheer and organization, punctuated with ... that'll work. :-) The new kitchen sounds lovely. Hope the camping out is short in duration.

Thanks! I'm hoping the sooner it starts, the sooner it will be over with.

I can bring up some boxes with padding and dividers for glassware and plates if you like.
