Tuesday, January 6: Tablecloths, Potholders, Colander

The title of this post is a summary of today's searches. As we settle into the basement kitchen, each day brings its own mysteries. Tonight, though "cooking dinner" consisted only of reheating chicken parmesan from the freezer and boiling pasta, it was complicated by the lack of easily-found potholders and colander. The potholders remain missing, but I did find a colander. The tablecloths, though we have several, seem to have disappeared into thin air. They are essential since our basement kitchen table, usually just a craft table but now called into action as a table where we eat, is covered with unremoveable swirls of super glue, candlemaking wax, glitter, resin, and acrylic paint.

The workmen came today and prepped for demo. They covered all the floors with heavy planks of cardboard and taped them down securely. They sealed off the doors to the dining room. They sealed off the laundry area but with a zippered opening so we can still get in there when needed. The work has officially begun.

I went into the office today, Andrew worked from home, and the kids had their busy day of school / running (Lucia) / piano (both) / and tutoring (Lucia). Farrah continues to be confused about where we are and where she should be. 

Tomorrow I'll have my doctor's appointment to finalize my treatment plan. Ready to have all the pieces in place and get started.
