[picture is what new master shower is shaping up to be]How cold is it? So cold that you freeze when you get out of the shower??? Let's just say these days, it hardly makes it above freezing, and with another rate increase in heating this month, we're ready to go back to buffalo skins and striking a pile of wood with a flint!
Luckily, we are all busy and are only at home in the evenings. The days are filled with work or school and evenings are homework, harp lessons or church.
Whitley had a reall nice report card, all A's, except for reading. She is an advanced reader, but she is still is struggling with comprehension and rushes to write stories (which is writing is lumped in with her grade). She has really enjoyed skiing this winter and has now advanced from the bunny slopes to the blue runs; must be the Swede in her! So far she has been to Loveland, Aspen and Snowmass. The next day they plan to go skiing is on President's Day and she is hoping to go to Vail.
John & I have been hammering out the details to the master bath still. We decided we are going to pull the cast iron tub..., something we are now both excited about, but our backs have yet to express any enthusiasm. We decided since we had a tub downstairs, one tub was enough and that we would just go with a shower with a bench seat in it for stretching, etc. Our last decision in this area is what type of shower door: stainless steel trim sliders or the seamless glass door. The last area to consider is how the vanity area will be as we are adding another vanity. I think we are going to go with really dark cabinets, a light countertop, travertine vessel sinks and 2 framed mirrors with a dual sconce in the center....this could change from one posting to the next.
I have now been back in school for two weeks and am settling in to a routine again. The Biology Labtime is now advancing and we are well into "histology" which is the study of tissues (smooth, muscle, cardiac, connective). We will be dissecting a frog, a mouse and a cat this semester so I am really excited! I am starting on my Math courses now and this is my first Algebra course in almost 20 years. I had to switch classes because the first class I was in had a traditonal blackboard and I was constantly sneezing, itching and having my throat close up. It turned out too be a blessing in disguise as my new class, which has a whiteboard, only meets on Fridays for 3 and 1/2 hrs. and I think the prof. does a much better job teaching. Prior to the change, my old class met on Mon/Wed and then I had class until 9:30 pm for the Biolgy lecture/lab, so my days were really long then. For the first time in my life, I must thank my allergies for something!
Well, that it's for now, better go stoke the fire so we can stay warm!
