Ill wind

Recently, my wife and I decided we would replace some more of the flooring in our house. About a year and a half ago, we took out the carpet and put in vinyl floors — except for the bedrooms. Now, we’re updating the master bedroom to match.

I started the project last week, tore out the carpet and pad, pulled staples, and did some other prep work. Then, I got sick. Well, actually, I was sick when I started but chose to ignore it, hoping it would go away. It didn’t.

So, my plans to get it all done in a few days didn’t quite pan out. I am getting over the sickness — but not fast enough. And now, due to other obligations, it’ll be a couple of weeks before I can get to back to the floor. In the meantime, we have a nice sub-floor to look at and walk on. The dogs are not impressed. Neither is my wife.

I’m hoping all will be forgiven when the new floor is done. I’m just not exactly sure when that will be. I told my wife I’d probably have it done within the next year or so. She didn’t really SAY anything in response to that but the look she gave me said I might want to work on getting it done just a little bit quicker.

I think I might try that. But I can’t make any promises, ’cause you know, I might get sick again or something. ~
