Finished the Finish


I finished the kitchen floor yesterday. It was a fix-up, not a proper job, but it was my only choice and it turned out well enough. At least the wood is protected, which much of it had not been. I have the small bathroom, powder room, off the kitchen left to do. 


I've been keeping myself busy but news does get in. $11.8 billion was spent on the first week of bombing Iran. Let that sink in. Happy Days are here again.

On to my coffee and bagel.

    1. Oddly, I don't have any trouble getting up or down from the floor, Lori. My back needed a day of rest, though. Tragic is the word for it.

    I appreciate being away from the news for a couple days at a time, but I also need to know...even if it is mindboggling. ;)

    1. There is a difference between moderating exposure and hiding from it, Rita. Something I used to throw out to my friends who said they "didn't do" politics. Iwould tell them you may not do politics, but politics will certainly do you.

  6. Beautiful floors. I can't even imagine what 11.8 Billion would look like.
    I know it would feed hungry kids and help those who need medical assistance though.

    1. What I've been thinking, Val. Between the armored street thugs and all the blowing up of boats and a country, lots of much needed care of people could be happening, Val.

  9. The kitchen floor looks good, much smarter than our pale parquet flooring.
    The USA's supreme leader has dug himself into a huge hole with the Iran war and he has no idea how to climb out of it.

    1. I also have pale parquet, nick. I'm leaving that alone! Yes we have opened up the hell mouth and don't have a clue what to do now. Not only evil, but they are all incompetent.

    1. They are simple pine planks, Denise! Yes and I don't want to be completely out of the loop but also not emerged in it.
