the bathroom rides again

I guess I shouldn't complain too hard about me da being unstuck in space and time, because after spending all day Sunday with him, I could not remember from one moment to the next what day I was inhabiting. It felt like Wednesday, but wasn't, and couldn't be Tuesday because reasons, and it was disorienting.

Friends came and bodily dragged me out of the house and out walking to town for lunch. I was standing in the bathroom having removed everything that was bolted to the walls, trying to decide what to do next. One pointed out I could stay in a hotel while the bathroom underwent the part where the sink and toilet were uninstalled, the new floor laid down and a new toilet installed, and I was so startled by the idea that I didn't have to inhabit the house while that happened I nearly cried from relief. My plan at the moment is to finish painting the bathroom and get the bathroom stuff out of the half of the kitchen that was, however temporarily, empty. Then there will be room for people to do things in the kitchen again, even if it isn't cooking. The bathroom floor and toilet swap can take place any time I have the floor ready to install. I'm leaning towards click Marmoleum, because the odds of getting the subfloor clean enough, dry enough and smooth enough for tiles and grout are small, and having the patience to wait for those things to set is even more unlikely.

So for today I get to hang with me da again, shorter this time, and then come back to slap paint around the bathroom. Nothing but good times!
