A couple of weeks ago, Mario, our kitchen contractor, told me he was running a week or so behind due to some major plumbing issues discovered in the house where he’s currently remodeling a bathroom.  MAJOR plumbing issues.  100-year-old house.  I was disappointed a little at the delay, but what’s one more week of waiting?  I thought we’d still easily have our kitchen by Thanksgiving.  (Very important, you know, since I always cook an elaborate dinner.  Ha.)

Anyway, Mario called this morning.  He said the homeowner on his current job had hired a plumber, but the person they hired will only be able to work on the weekends - dragging things out even longer.  I started cringing inside, thinking he was going to tell me it’d be Christmas before he could get to us.

Well, halaluia, my luck must be changing, ’cause Mario wants to do our job first, while he waits on things to get straigtened out at the other place.  Even sweeter, he’s starting TOMORROW!  Tomorrow!  Tomorrow!  Whoohooooooo!

Oh, and did I mention we actually now have one, completely functional bathroom?  Yep!  We were finally about to get the tub upstairs taken care of.  We had Bath Fitters come install an overlay and it looks like a new bathroom!  And it works!  All four children bathed or showered in it last night and nothing came crashing down onto the first floor.  New tub, new toilet and working sinks - all in one bathroom!!!

Things are definitely looking up here around Casa Amarilla.  As the song says, all the clouds have disappeared…
