a two-day headache and other misadventures

so monday and tuesday saw this girl with a headache that could take an army down.  i always know it's going to be that way when i've taken my usual dose of advil and it might as well have been smarties.  it involves pain from the crown of my head down to my shoulders and just ache-ache-aches.  but, unlike my usual routine of trying to go to bed a-sap, we started bathroom demolition.

and by demolition i mean replacing the medicine cabinet.

and by replacing the medicine cabinet i mean taking out some of our home's original wood structure and then, as the coup de grace, allowing the new cabinet to fall onto some kind of mechanical sander thing that punched a hole right through the back of it.

in case you're wondering, ben was in charge of the removal of wood.  i, the breaking of our new fixture.  it was lovely really.  *sigh*

so, last night, the headache remained but we did get the cabinet to fit (because my mister is a genius).  he is handier than manny.  (you heard me)  and we also hung our new cupboard in there.  next, removing said fixtures and painting the walls grey.  also sanding.  also priming.

(so so so excited)

our bathroom is going to look really great.  i've already planned to hang a couple of my favorite prints from irene suchocki.  they're beachy ttv pictures that are causing daydreams like you wouldn't believe.  (and, could she be any nicer??  no.  impossible.)

i'll keep you updated on the demo front.  wish me all of the luck in the world.  and by wish me luck i mean let's hope i don't break everything i touch.  a sort of lady midas, if you will.  only the opposite of that.  thank goodness for my handy man  :)
