We are in the middle of remodeling our bathroom upstairs. Our original schedule called for us to be done in 12 days, since we started it on July 16, I would say that didn't happen. But not for our lack of trying or having days to work on it. What it came down to was our upstairs A/C unit is broken and we can't stand being up there for very long. Brian installed one of the 2 vanity lights and made the blanket statement that we weren't working on the bathroom anymore until there is A/C upstairs again. The average temp. for the upstairs without A/C has been about 88 and humid, not awful, but not fun to remodel in. The good news is the unit should be fixed this week, the bad news is its taking forever because we are having the home warranty that came with our place do it (and pay for it for the most part) and they move at ant speed. I am very glad our realtor advised us to get a house with 2 A/C units! Needless to say we aren't out a ton of money because of it but we are having to camp out in our living room. We moved our guest bed mattress down and butted it up with the couch and have made basically one big bed, there is a small difference in height but it keeps the dogs from jumping back and forth between the two. So while sleeping on the floor the dogs have decided that they are people too and are sleeping on the bed, using it for their play time and napping on it, needless to say I am cleaning the sheets every few days! Hopefully I will get a call early this week that the part is in and we can get our A/C back!
Now on to what else we have been up to. I played in my first volleyball tournament since college. It was an outdoor grass 3's tournament. My friend Tracy and I picked up another girl and played in women's BB. We did alright, but not great. We give ourselves a break a bit though, 1. we are indoor players, and outdoor playing is very different (setting is completely different), 2. it was over 100 that day, it was killer. A girl from our pool even got heat stroke and had to leave, it was bad. 3. we picked up someone we didn't know, so that just didn't mesh in the end. 4. we had back to back games at the heat of the day. Our last match we were evenly matched for the part but we had already played right before that and they had just relaxed in the shade with water... So what I learned was your first tournament back you shouldn't play in 100degree weather, you shouldn't pick a random person and the sun can be a killer even with sunscreen when you are sweating that much. My forehead is bright pink. I don't burn too easily but man did I get it bad on Saturday. Luckily I am finally finding relief this evening, hopefully by tomorrow I can show my face in public without looking like Samantha on Sex and the City when she got that facial peel and went to Carrie's book launch... at least I am not peeling. The rest of me is pretty ok, although I am feeling a bit of age coming through. Its just not as easy to recover, now I am guessing part of that is this isn't my usual thing to do, but man those 18 year old girls were just still going after doing this all day... evil!
So hopefully I will have A/C soon so that I can finish up the bathroom and make a post of pics! It really looks great!
