We have walls. Our bathrooms were drywalled this last week so they are starting to begin to look like official rooms. We still have a long way to go but it helps a lot to begin to visualize what our bathrooms will look like once finished. It was fun to watch them bring the drywall in through the second floor bathroom window. The crane had a wireless remote control that allowed the operator to adjust it while looking out the 2nd floor window - I so want one! With the drywalling finishing, it means I get to get in and paint the bathrooms. After coordinating with all the other contractors, of course. Speaking of painting, my major painting task this last week was the living room. I'm happy to say that after several intense and long days that our living room decor now matches the dining room. Two of the big first floor rooms down. Next up, as mentioned above, is hopefully the bathrooms. If not, I have a back up project of starting to prep the back hallways - although I won't probably paint any of that until all the construction is complete.

Jo was in Utah at an HR conference for several days. She was happy to be back on the road traveling for once since her job doesn't require much travel any longer. She really misses being stuck in airports waiting for delayed and cancelled flights, eating out all the time, and carbon copy hotel rooms. I'm serious, she really misses all that stuff - never could figure her out. Anyway, she had a great time at the conference and it gave her several ideas to try out and to think about. The rest of her week was the usual mix of meetings and dealing with HR crisis that always seem to arise.
Friday night we went out shopping and then had dinner at a sports bar where we watched the beginning of the Brewer's game. This was the key game where they clinched their division - Yeah! Then we came home to make an appetizer and dessert for her sister's retirement party. That was our Saturday adventure. After our morning run and lift we packed up our nephew and treats and headed to Madison to help Kathy celebrate being, like me, retired. She had a party at a neighbor's house with her non-work friends. Kathy is adjusting well to not having to go to work every day, although the lack of routine has been somewhat of a struggle for her - personally, I think that is the biggest benefit of not working. We stayed over Saturday night and on Sunday we all went to watch the Wisconsin women's volleyball team take on Illinois. Jo and I were split on who to rout for, but since Illinois is ranked #3 it seemed the safest bet. After the game (which Illinois won in 3 straight sets), we headed home to get a few things taken care of on the house and ready ourselves for another week.
