I am exhausted. My guy and I went to the new house today to work. I left this morning feeling so much better about being able to help and contribute to our new home. I had been feeling guilty that I had been only occasionally helping with the crown moulding and painting and tearing out and building new while I was working on the cookbook. So I left this morning with a light step to go my our new home. And what a busy day it was. I of course spent some time organizing, tidying up, sweeping and washing floors cause I like order and okay I admit it am a little bit obsessed with being tidy. I am one of those weird people who feel unsettled around mess. Then we spent the day painting doors and trim, and painting my new office. It is beautiful, a dusty chestnut colour or maybe between chestnut and cappuccino. It looks amazing, particularly against the stark white crown moulding. Tomorrow installing new chrome door handles and painting base boards. Soon the upstairs will be completely finished! We came home here just an hour or so ago. We made a quick soup and turned on the television to watch the news coming out of Japan. What a horrible tragedy and it quickly humbled us both how fortunate we are to be spending the day painting our new home when so many millions have experienced such heartbreak. It is almost overwhelming to watch the news and imagine the suffering those poor people are going through. Every day count our blessings; we have much to be grateful for. My heart and prayers goes out to the Japanese people; keep them in your thoughts.
