Bathroom, bride of Kitchenstein

Mission creep again. I have blue paint for the bathroom, and then managed to rip a hole in the wall when I lost patience with a towel holder I had always hated and just yanked it off the wall instead of locating the set screw and undoing it and removing it with grace and style and no holes. So today I got a lesson from M on repairing holes in drywall.

The local builder supply that is not the hardware store (I am still discovering distinctions here) has materials in amounts to build a whole house. So I have 25 yards of drywall tape and 8' of corner bead when I only need like 2' of one and 6" of the other. And yet, the entire outing cost $16, which was what I imagine buying smaller amounts at a different store would have been. Like potatoes. Potatoes always cost $5 no matter how many of them you buy. 2 lbs of tiny or fancy or fingerling, or 10lbs of Idaho Russets always $5.

The bathroom is developing the aspects of a place that could be painted. The stuff is off the shelves, expired meds gone, overstock redistributed. Al had been hoarding the gift bags from teh dentist and had 6 each of toothbrushes, travel sized floss, travel size toothpaste and sulcus brushes. Also 4 specialized toothbrushes, and basically a case of super fancy floss he gets from Amazon. Even he was appalled, or amused, when he started going through it.

I'm headachey today having been free of them for most of a week which was lovely. That is still a win, honestly, so I'll take and be cheerful.
