I know what you’re thinking. I promise you, I’m not on any drugs. And yes it’s pretty easy to tile a bathroom. The hard part is cutting tiles to fit around stuff, like round stuff. That part really stinks.

So this is just one of my many excuses for being absent here at the blog. I got in the shower a week ago today and thought “this is gross”. The fiberglass panels were starting to come off because moisture had gotten in and the adhesive wasn’t so adhesivey anymore. The mold was starting to grow underneath the trim at the base of the panels.

I had enough.

We picked up a bunch of tile, brought it home, ripped off those panels, and I started putting tile up. Grouting was a pain, waiting for it to dry was a pain. Taking baths all week instead of showers was unpleasant, but not as bad as the grouting and cutting. The doors came down and went back up – twice, because I screwed up and put them too close and the bottom rail overhung the tub. I sealed it lastnight and took my first shower in a week (P.U.) this morning.

While I was waiting for the adhesive to dry, I worked. While I was waiting for the grout to dry, I worked. While I was waiting for my hubby to put the doors back up for the second time, I ordered pizza.

Okay I lie. Yes I worked. I am working on another illustration/drawing for a business. And today I’m sorta working, I sketched out another blog design project that I’ll work on after the 6 I have in queue are coded up. Once I get the go ahead on the illustration, I’ll get a clean line drawing done on that and flip back over to design for a week or two.

It’s always something, and you know what? I’m grateful. I couldn’t be more tickled that business is good, that I’m busy, and things are just rolling right along. It’s a great thing!

No, I am not on speed. Yes I’m handy around the house. I really don’t know how or where this energy comes from, and I am happy to report that I do get 5-7 hours of solid deep sleep every night. I only take a generic multivitamin, I swear it.

Please don’t hit me. If it makes you feel any better, I can do all this AND gain 5 pounds at the same time! Go me!
