Kitchen Chaos Hopefully Ends Tonight

Since Monday, our upstairs floor has been in chaos.

Kitchen chairs are in our bedroom and bathroom, the hutch and dining room table are in the living room, and dust is everywhere. All because the kitchen floor, the dining room floor and the floor in the half bath are getting a hardwood covering in Canadian cherrywood.

The job was scheduled to be completed Monday night, but due to “unforeseen contingencies,” the majority of the work is being completed (hopefully) today. But of course it has resulted in living chaos for several days.

Plus, relatives from Chicago arrive Friday. Which leaves us with one day before they arrive to get it all back together and hopefully looking decent. The schedule seemed just fine when this was originally planned out over a month ago. However, things happen, and you learn to deal with it.

I spose it’s our age that further complicates things. I don’t remember such things bothering us much in our younger days. It appears, however, that “maturity” brings with it some extra baggage with regard to tolerable stress levels.

I’ll return to more active posting when the dust clears. But then it’s on to new kitchen counter tops…
