OMG!

In October I received an email that no one ever wants to get. It was from the Homeowners Association in the desert. They saw water seeping from our home. That is not good.

Come to find out, a connector between a water line and a toilet cracked and water flowed for days.
Insurance has been awesome. A crew was on the job with 3 hours of notification but the damage was done. Here are some photos of the mess.

The kitchen. There used to be cabinets and an island.

 The bar area.

 The fridge and a desk were here.

The master bath as seen through the walls of the bedroom. 

If there was a toilet, you could sit on it and wave to people in the back yard. I show you these because I am going to show you over time how my house is being put back together. They say the reconstruction will be complete by May 1. I'll keep you posted.

It's a Repeat

For this year, I wanted to try to do something for 100 days straight. Somethings require that you are home and we travel. Some things require a specific piece of equipment and that is not always handy. I didn't want to take a photo a day or do an art project a day because I really didn't want to end up spending time on something I really didn't want. So, I decided what I needed most was to stretch.

I play golf maybe 4 times a week and the left side gets tighter than the right. Age has also found me and that makes for tight joints. I am sure most of you can relate. So first thing...even before I get out of bed, I stretch. Then I stretch again when the coffee is brewing. And last thing at night. I've been at it since the first of the year and it's working. I am slowly seeing results. Forty one days now but who's counting.

My Word for the Year
