Poor Poohbare. Installation of the crown moulding is giving him a nervous twitch, I think. His measurements are spot-on; however, when the ex put up the walls, he didn't worry if they bowed slightly. It tends to throw things off just a bit. Meanwhile, I'm working on the doors. They aren't precut for hinges or doorknobs so I get to play with the hole saw and router. WOOT! I'm itchin to rent the earth moving equipment again and get the last of the rock dug out of the landscaping and get things moving on that front. I'm also looking at paint and tile to give the kitchen a mini-facelift. I don't know yet when I'll be having the spinal fusion and there are so many things I'd like to get done before the surgery. I know Poohbare ain't gonna let me do this stuff AFTER the surgery. dammit. I look forward to the day when I can glance around this place, not see more things that need done and simply relax. ...and life goes on... | ||||||

Poohbare likes to check out local coin shops and see what he can find and test the waters on how well the guys behind the counters know their stuff. Often he's disappointed with the shopkeeper's lack of knowledge or their laziness in keeping up to speed with what is in the display case. When Poohbare does an appraisal, he always tells folks the fair value of what they have. When he's in a coin shop working with someone holding themselves out as a dealer, it's a different game entirely. He had the day off and decided to go coin hunting. First place he hits, he looks at a bunch of Indianhead nickels. The guy wants 40 cents apiece. Kinda steep, so Pooh was gonna offer 35 cents each. Then he sees it. An 1918/1917D. He knows his stuff and know it's worth. He agrees to pay 40 cents for all the nickels he's buying. Then he went over a couple towns to another coin shop and sold the 18/17D for $850.00. ka-CHING! Go baby, go!!! | ||||||

I can't help but giggle. The girlspawn, Peachy and Krick have a running joke going on my fb page about my consumption of wine. I know they know it's only on Fridays and not every Friday, so I'm cool with it. I've been snickering at the last one for about 10 minutes now. Damn kids. | ||||||

The weather has been absolutely glorious the last few days and it's expected to continue thru the end of the week. Three cheers for an early spring. | ||||||

My goodness, what a week! I saw my family doc on Monday. He wants me to have blood work and a stress test done. FFS - ain't my LIFE a stress test? Wednesday I saw my orthopedic surgeon for the MRI results and there's a "significant herniation" of a disk in my neck and he's recommending a fusion. I am not thrilled. Thursday, the girlspawn saw her orthopedist for ongoing knee pain. She has an MRI set for next Saturday. Friday, she saw a neurologist for migraines and is now on a daily dose of Topomax with a high dose of Imitrex for when the headaches hit. I impressed upon the child the importance of letting me know immediately if she has vision problems with the Topomax as it's known to (in rare cases) cause acute angle closure glaucoma which could lead to blindless if left untreated. We have a case at work where that happened. I think the message got through. In the midst of all this, I was going in to work early and staying late to keep my hours intact. Somehow I only came up one hour short. Not bad, if I do say so myself. | ||||||

It's been a gooooood day! We were lazy slugs all morning, took the day off from the remodel, and decided to go to the casino and see how much cash we could lose. Even after having a pricey dinner, we came home with only $7.00 less than that with which we left the house. I think that qualifies as a win. | ||||||

I still get way more giddy about Poohbare than power tools. That's prolly a good thing. The nap after was awesome, too. I'm taking pics of the remodel as it moves from one stage to the next and I'll post em when it's done. There's been so much stuff to do that I get sidetracked and tend to flit from one task to another. It appears disjointed, but it's organized chaos. | ||||||
