Almost....

Well, February is here - we made it!

But...
I'm still dealing with the after effects of January. The most noticeable now is a good size cut in my mouth on my bottom gums from around my surgery time (I've had it 3 weeks now). It's gotten worse & swollen & gross... I won't get into details! But eating has been really difficult as well as talking (or functioning sometimes). I'm on an aggressive medication plan for the next week, so hopefully this won't go longer than a month....

I'm almost finished my protest of January 2012.

In good news, the main level & bonus room is ready to paint! I'll post some pictures soon. And the basement should be ready to tape & mud by the end of the day! FIL was in all last week & back again this week to help (along with Expert giving me some free help for a few days!). I'll be driving some screws in - at least I get to help a little without overdoing it while I heal from surgery. Super Lu will start priming tomorrow night & on the weekend - she's excited to finally be able to help (role reversal - I'll be taking care of the kids!).
