So close..........

I can nearly feel like it will feel when it's all done. I can sort of walk into my kitchen. Keeping to certain parts of certain tiles. I have dinner on, a Korma Chicken Curry in the crock pot that I just had to brown off in the fry pan first. I did that tip toeing everywhere, and then washed up and then I have to wipe out the sink cupboard, because it's not all closed off now because the dishwasher is still unconnected. Tomorrow it will be sealed, I don't know when or how I am going to get dinner organized tomorrow night. Dancing is on tomorrow and I was itching to go. At this stage, I am not so sure. If I can't get dinner organized quickly and efficiently then dancing is a non event. It's just an added stress if I am prancing around getting cranky because I want to go out. Not fair on the rest of the household. We will see..........

The floor is filthy with mortar, so when I walk everywhere on the slate, it crunches underfoot. Ooooh, how nice will it be when I can mop it over and have it all spotless again..........

Don't get me wrong, I am not whinging................just grateful that normalcy is looming close!

It's nearly done and dusted..........

I am very excited about my kitchen, and just love everything about it. In hindsight, the only thing I would change is that I would have put one power point in a slightly different spot. I am very happy that that's the only thing I would change..............such a minor inconsequential thing.

I am however, over it!~~ over the dust, the dirt, not being able to walk where I want, having crap around, having to dust and clean, and dust and clean, and dust and clean ~~ ad nauseaum!!!

I won't have my dishwasher or direct access to my sink, stove and drawers, fruit bowl.................as the slate is glued, but unwalkable, and the grout takes place tomorrow, so I MAY be able to tippy toe on it tomorrow night. It still needs sealing.........do I dare to hope it will be walkable on Tuesday night. I want my husband to have some time off~ he has worked so hard the last couple of months, and, for the most part, still did his second job as well. I am so lucky to have a man who works so hard and who is bothered to make my dream come true. I said to him one day that he was building the kitchen for me! He said 'I am building it for both of us.' I answered, 'But if I didn't want a beautiful, big kitchen, you wouldn't be building it.' He answered..........
'No - you are right, I wouldn't be building it otherwise..........'

Now that's love!!
