much better. got some work this week at the day job, still working at the diner (hey, cash is king!), and had a long chat with the dude. all is right with the world again.

long overdue picture update!
friday night, derceto and i had some company...

over drinks the other night, derceto and i got to chatting about some further renovations we would like to do to our place. my dude has been busy renovating his place, and it inspired me to think about what else i'd like to tweak. first to go, the carpet in the bathroom. derceto got some great black linoleum peel and stick tiles that i cannot WAIT to install! then we're thinking about a chandelier for the kitchen. but what REALLY has a wild hair up my ass is the damn drop ceilings. seriously, they look like they were pulled out of an abandoned office building after the zombie apocalypse! they are so gross and dirty and ugly, i've been wanting to get rid of them for years. and once i get the landlords permission, that is exactly what i plan to do. so in preparation, i stuck my camera in the ceilings.

most of the rooms look like this. undamaged, or with very minor damage. nothing a little spackle and paint couldn't fix:



the kitchen ceiling...it has tin ceilings underneath! TIN! looks like it would need some work around the light fixture there, but i already found a company online that reproduces tin ceiling tiles that has this EXACTt pattern in white:



the bathroom also has tin ceilings!!! with some of the cornices intact!!!



unfortunately, only half of the bathroom ceiling is still in good shape. the other half is a complete shit show, and over our shower there is a gaping hole where damaged pipes have gone unrepaired for too long for me to want to deal with:



what a shame. so beautiful. look at that cornice!
so for the bathroom, i have found a couple of sources for plastic drop ceiling tiles in tin ceiling patterns. if i must have the drop ceilings to cover the insane amount of water damage, i at least want them to be pretty.

...

in other news, i have my sleep center appointment tonight. yay for finally getting my sleep apnea dealt with!!

i also wear glasses for driving now. i wish i needed them all the time though, for they are adorkable and cost way too much money to only wear for driving. lol.



anyway... all i have left on my unemployment to do list is to upload my Day in the Life project from fucking october lol. so methinks i will go do that right now. love you kiddies!!
