Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes. I danced with my kids and worked all day but the day was what it needed to be, and in the end it is just another day. But I appreciate being made to feel special.

We are easily going to get to where we need to be today with the floor and so the kitchen will be finished but there is still flooring to do in the game room and that will add 2 more day there of flooring work so hoping by the end of the weekend we are dine with that and I can sand and paint those baseboards.

Less hammering the past few days because we are so close to the cabinets we cannot use them. more sitting on the floor and using lumber lock flooring adhesive and a brad nailer to finish this area. Very hard to get the boards tight as they need to be but thanks to shims it is helping. I have been given the go ahead with the saw finally and I have been doing more of the weird cuts for along the angle cabinets. We have a slick little tool to do it with and makes what seems hard cake. Less exercise more technical besides being on your feet and pacing from the saw to the place to lay the piece and hubby had been on his hands and knees doing the harder stuff because I lack strength in my hands since having carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome and 3 out of 4 have been repaired but the right elbow still not done and making it a weak arm as there are just some things that I cannot do. No nerves severely pinched and causing nerve damage but if I over do that is what I will have and I had surgery 2 years ago on the other wrist and elbow. Not wanting to do it until it is impossible to avoid.

Contractor will be here at some point today to do a bit of work that needs finished on the exterior and the bay window roof.

I went over in calories and carbs and caffeine. Did not sleep well at all because of it. Been up since before 5 and was up several times in the night just lying in bed awake. Today I am going to get back on plan. I have to before I get off track completely and want to stay there. :P

What not to do.

How I want to live:

Today is going to be a good day and I am going to see progress on my floors!!!!!

Goals:
- Try to get to the hard fit areas under the sink cabinet edge by the end of the evening today that is 9 rows of flooring added. Need to hit 16 to get the full floor.
- Add games and work on paperwork until Hubby returns to do the floors - I made decent headway yesterday.
- Get my SITS mini challenge in - dancing
- Stretch

Trying to improve how I felt today over yesterday a walk would probably help but it is a muddy mess and we are still getting rain. Plus it is like 56F out and that coupled with more rain today makes it unlikely I will walk. Dancing should help my steps will do that once the everyone is gone for the morning.

No birthday cake in the house. Hubby bought the kids each a (1) special cupcake of their choice and we have whole fruit pops with no sugar added and sherbet for the kids.

Birthday resolution:

Ok counters complete. CHECK

They left at 7 pm and my family surprised me by deciding after me being stressed all day and accomplishing nothing myself on the reno that we would have my mini bday party. So I went a little over on calories but not even as much as yesterday. I told them no cake and so hubby let the kids pick cupcakes (single special ones from the bakery for themselves because apparently Bdays require cake and Ice cream says Ty. And I got no sugar added Outshine whole fruit pops. ALA *ice cream* say TY. The kids have sherbet.

I got a new electric can opener for the kitchen i have never owned one but my elbow and hands have made me gripe all summer using the hand opener. And 2 plastic cereal canisters because I buy the bagged cereal or huge boxes at Sam's for the kids. Apparently I am to keep them full all the time. Again Tyler's instructions as they were his gift. I also have new ceramic cookware, spoon rest, butter crock, and silicone set of spatulas, spoon, ladle and the like that will arrive tomorrow. But I got pictures of what was coming today. I should know what I am getting as they were on the Amazon Wishlist. LOL Good for something.

Tomorrow we will get back to knocking out that floor. For tonight I think I stressed myself enough for one day and I am going to go veg. I did get a bunch added finally and still have more to do. But a phone call from the contractors of this would have reduced my stress a lot poor customer service IMHO. Apparently the driver called off work and the other guy did not drive and they had to find a driver for him. 4 pm they showed and were here til 7 pm. SMH So nothing got done on the floors for 2 whole days waiting on this to be complete only half a day was expected. That was the biggest part of my frustration.

Here are the finished counters. one pic to show it all.

Yesterday was totally frustrating and I made myself sick over it stressing out and still I am feeling off and not quite normal. My abdomen is tender from the IBS flare yesterday evening and that makes me not want to achieve what I need to manage today. Early in the day I ate more than I should have though all on plan foods not junk but just more than was allotted. Not a lot over but knowing I did added to that stress. Stick to the plan and I am a happier person.

Hoping they fix the rest of the countertops right today and that we get back on track with the floors.

Today's goals:
- Get further on kitchen floor once counters are in will not be starting before 2 pm.
- Add games in the AM.
- get SITS mountain climbers in. :/ Not really good for my IBS today will see if I can manage them later.
- Stretching
- stay on plan. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

Looking at things and timing I realize we easily have 2+ months of work ahead of us.

I wish it was not going to rain the next few days because that keeps me from painting and the stuff I need to do will be outside oh and miss the walking some more. Outside work - Baseboards and block pieces that will get all the coats they need away from the refinished floors. Also The door needs to be taken down and painted. I have 2 other doors that need stripped and painted. Oh and Painting of the pantry cabinets and they have glass panes in them I want to make look like mission style stained glass. SMH time ---- the summer is dwindling and good weather outside is key to getting these jobs done plus all the small projects like the stained glass some can be done indoors bit others outside away from my new flooring will be preferable.

Feeling the crunch. Also Trying to feel the joy of being semi-close to finishing a room. Nearly 2. very confounding way to feel - really.
