I'm not really this crazy-

It's been almost 1 month since I had surgery. Immediately after surgery I started to feel better. I'm in much less pain than I was before, I have a bit more energy, and I'm feeling a little more optimistic. I am still having a significant amount of pain though... I'm not sure at what point it goes from "surgery recovery" pain to "surgery was unsuccessful and I'm still in pain" pain... I have a doctor's appt next week to follow up on the surgery. I'll talk to my surgeon then. I'm honestly kind of scared to ask.

In other news, I have been so crazy emotional. Those Hormone shots are intense! I always feel like I'm on the verge of bursting into tears- sometimes happy tears, and sometimes sad tears. Always on the cusp though. It's terrible. Only 3 more months of those though, and then I'm done with them for a while.

Seriously- I have no idea why I thought it was necessary to take the old paint off of the cabinets before I put on new paint. It was so much work, and I don't think it was worth it.

The bathroom looks beautiful, but I'm going to wait to take pictures of it to post on the blog until all the paint is completely dry and I can close the cabinets and drawers. :)

After the test I decided to take the wallpaper down in my bathroom and get going on getting it fixed up. Ever since Sam got the bathtub to start draining I've wanted to fix up the bathroom so that it was a more relaxing environment so I could take a bath or just like the way it looks :) I didn't take any before pictures, but much like the kitchen, just picture any typical grandma bathroom. Floral wallpaper, completely monotone color scheme (beige... boring!) and poorly maintained plumbing fixtures. I got all the wallpaper off, spackle'd the walls, and they're ready to prime and paint. The walls have no texture to them at all though, so I'm trying to decide if we should consider painting them so they appear to have texture.

We have severe water damage on the floor around the toilet. I'm assuming that if I can see it through the linoleum, it's probably significantly worse on the subfloor.... anyone know how to fix that?

I got him a candle that is made out of soy- it burns at a way lower temperature then a normal candle, and you use the melted 'wax' as a lotion. It's supposed to be really really good for eczema. It smells good too :)
