Day 14 - The Long Blue Line

For the past two nights, the little princesses and Himself were on "vacation" at the Econo Lodge down the road a piece. We sent out for pizza and subs, had snacks, watched tv, played on the computer and took advantage of the bathroom.

Himself left the hotel early this morning to be around when the contractor arrived. The girls and I, had a leisurely morning of showers, cartoons, and a free continental breakfast. We then checked out of the hotel, and I took the Eldest to her cube farm where she works.

When I arrived home, I was greeted by the contractor and the long blue line. He had painstakingly laid tile on half of the bathroom and reinstalled the old toilet so we wouldn't be without facilities for the weekend. He's been very accommodating, and has left us with a working shower and toilet.

Himself is overjoyed to have his own familiar necessary I'm glad we don't have to spend another night at the hotel. Though the location is convenient, it's not exactly a five star accommodation for the price charged.

Those minor inconveniences are overshadowed by the progress. Just look at the beautiful floor! All those blue dots lined up like soldiers dressing the line. Perfect! The contractor put down a blue tape line of demarcation so we would not walk on the tiles while they set and cure. We have enough space to maneuver to make use of the facilities. Anyone who walks on the tile will be placed against the wall and shot per order of Marshal Toll.
