Ack! I hope Shu is doing OK after the great mud caper. Since it’s not plain old mud-mud, but “sticky stuff to tile with,” and since even plain mud wouldn’t be good for the little guy in quantity, well, I’ll just hope for good things.

Hmm, just occurred to me, both my guys have made themselves scarce after being right around me all day. I’d better see what they’re up to. Napping after supper, probably. :)

Time to get off the computer for the evening, too.

(Yup, cats are fine, just dorky as ever.)

Shu is obviously a Helper Cat. I too have helper cats. I posted a picture of Kiki helping on my blog last week. Waiting to see the finals of the bathroom project.

Are you sure that Shu WANTS to be rescued? Maybe he’s thinking the mud has therapeutic properties? Or he just wants to get your attention so you’ll clean him off and give him some attention. (Not like you don’t already.)

That doesn’t sound like Word Press. Sounds more like something FTP related.

But I’ll admit I’m guessing. I get stuff done by RTFMing.

Yay! for the good progress on the bathroom project! It is so nice when a plan comes together and the things you visualized become real.

So glad to hear that you all got to enjoy the Nationals. I miss watching skating – I need to pay better attention to the schedule for things like that.

And…Whoopee!!! for your insight into the ‘NetWalkers story! Best wishes for a good spell of writing after the bathroom is its new beautiful self.

Isn’t it funny how your brain will put things on the back burner and they simmer away while our attention is elsewhere. I do medical transcription (typing up doctors’ dictations), and I’ll have a word or phrase I can’t figure out, and I’ll give it a go or three, put a blank and go on, then half a page later, it suddenly pops into my head — That’s what they said! Even though I’d gone on with the report, my brain was still working on that one little bit.

I’m glad things are beginning to settle down. You both need a good stretch of calm water after all the “white water” you’ve been having lately.

Like you I was totally blown away by Davis and White. I’m not a skater but I was a dancer and this was dancing at its best. Extensions were flawless and the lifts effortless. (At one point I said “How did she get up there? She must have flown.”)The costumes were absolutely right for the routine. But the most impressive thing was the choreography and the way it absolutely worked with the music. This dance could only have been done with this music…..that is not always the feeling I get with the choreography/music combo.

Like you I have not been a big fan of Ashley Wagner’s…but she blew me away with the Black Swan ……yes, the seductiveness of the film but also a real interpretation of Odette in the ballet. And Rachel Flat…..knew she was not going to win but turned in such a crowd pleaser. And all the ‘little girls’ I felt like I was watching the future of women’s skating.

Alas, we were not home yesterday and I forgot! to record the men’s singles and the pairs! Silly me!

Wonderful tile project! Looking forward to photos of the whole shebang!

Isn’t it a reliefwhen the creative juices get going and stuff comes together? It feels like something waking up inside.

Meanwhile I am hoping it gets warm enough today so I can get into my passive solar heated studio and roll some slabs to make the tiles to repair the base of the shower.

I kind of envy your knowledge of electricity; it’s the one thing I don’t mess around with. When P. built this house he did all his own wiring and had a friend who was a master electrician sign off on everything. (Said friend always encouraged P. to get licensed but he never did.) Ever since a potter friend nearly burnt his house down because he insisted on wiring his own kilns I have been most willing to pay for electrical work. Besides my electrician is a friend and if I am going to spend money I just a soon a friend get it.

Good news about your hand……aaaannnnnddd….glad to see/read that you are posting again. Did you manage to get all the Christmas stuff taken care of before you started the Big Bathroom Project.

Tiling can be a PITA . Good that you are taking the time to do the proper underlayment. I knew you would because you are a perfectionist. As I said to my former manager when I was preparing client info to use while I went on vacation, “Sometimes being obsessive is a good thing!”

BTW I do hope you and CJ have had the time to watch USA skating this weekend.!
