It's been a while, I know...

And we'll have more to report, but for now, I'm just checking in. I've been sick all weekend with the gross flu that is apparently going around school and the rest of the state. The achiness has dissipated and the illness is just a hacking cough. Lovely, I know. Trevor's had to deal with it all night long now. But he hasn't gotten sick yet, which is excellent, and I hope to keep it that way!

A couple of weeks ago, John and Fran Power came over to help us put in a new bathroom sink, and they really spruced the place up. Of course we have yet to paint , but it looks so much better already, don't you think?

The light fixture is new as well, and the shower head, which you can't see. Of course, the Swamp Thing and Gumby do their own hard work to fancify the bathroom, but a coat of glossy off-white paint will do wonders. We're going to have the insurance contractors take care of that once they fix the water damaged wall (they've got to rip out the wall and most of the tiles. Ugh, ugh a-lugh). But I'm sure once it's finished, it'll be glorious. Cross your fingers.

Our neighbor, Sarah (lovely woman whose wall I drove through...), finally had her own unit fixed up after the flood of water, and it looks gorgeous. Black marble subway tiles in the bathroom shower, nubbly green granite counters in the kitchen and bathroom, and brand new shiny blonde wood floors. Really nice. 

Mom and Dad Bork will be moving at the beginning of April, so they're in the middle of packing and tossing things, and we'll be going through what's left of my childhood junk next week. And, speaking of next week, it's Spring Break! Yahoo! No plans for a trip to Cancun or Padre Island or anything, but a nice relaxing few days reading papers (or taking naps and reading mystery novels) will be just what the doctor ordered.

Hopefully we'll check in again before then. Lots of St. Patty's Day Love--Bork Power!
