Thankfully Friday was starting off much better. You never know when you go to bed after such an unfulfilling and disappointing day what the morning will bring but thankfully the stifling air in the house (mostly due to my bad mood) had lifted and we all ate breakfast together. Marty, Josie and Mogli took a long walk and on the way home stopped by the bakery for fresh rolls. According to Marty, there is nothing better and nothing more German. He has always been a bread snob and know living here I see why. There is a bakery on every corner and all the bread, rolls and baked goods are super affordable.
We all took a very long walk through the woods with Mogli to one of our favorite Italian restaurants. The sun had peaked through the clouds a bit and everyone was in a much better mood. Phew!!
Construction continues on our house. The worst part is that we don't have a bathroom on the level where all of our bedrooms are. So in the middle of the night you have to put slippers or some other shoes on to trek through the construction zone down to the one, small functioning bathroom. During the day the one bathroom does not bug me much but at night I always wake up and then spend an hour debating if I really need to go to the bathroom? Couldn't it just wait until morning. I know I should just go when I first wake up because I normally end up going after having wasting an hour debating with myself. Currently there is no insulation between our bedroom floor and the attic floor where we are putting in a separate rental unit. The stairwell is FREEZING because in addition to no insulation there is no ceiling in the stairwell or door on the attic unit yet so not only do you have to trek through construction you FREEZE... it is a bit like camping.., in our own house. 🙄
The back stairs are slowly being built. We will finally be able to use our back door again. Granted it will be winter and no garden parties or eating on the patio until spring but having that back door usable again will be huge.
