I showered at a camp ground.

I feel dirty just typing it. After countless showers at my inlaws, we were both feeling like we were imposing so we decided to go to the "brand new camp showers". Right...well... it didn't go as I had envisioned. I never realize how many ocd tendencies I have until I'm hurled into a situation that makes me tick. They were not scummy and dirty or anything, but I just couldn't feel comfortable. I kept praying to God that no part of my body, my clothes, or my belongings would touch anything in there. I carefully undressed while keeping my flip flops on so that my feet wouldn't touch the floor. The water would just not get hot enough to kill the germs in there. I know I am a psycho. The only thing that got me through was writing a pretend letter in my head to the contractor working on our remodel. I went through all the details on how if I had to shower anywhere else again I was going to knit a blanket made of his entrails for my baby. I am happy to report that I now have a functioning shower in my house! Woo! Hopefully the rest will be done soon... can you imagine how crazy I'm going to be when I have to go without a toilet?

Long time no see...

I feel like I've floated through the last few weeks, just for the record - I miss my Slug horribly.

On a lighter note, I've continued to wake up every day - keep on keeping on - and enjoy an uneventful and actually pleasant pregnancy. So I'm good.

Now for some things that piss me off - bathroom remodeling. Oh wait , that should have been a list?

Bathroom remodeling
The sound of drills and hammers at 7 am on my day off

Oh yay, I get to deal with both of those again tomorrow. Our bathroom will be amazing when its done, but for now it feels like it will never be done. The first comment on the time line was that it would take 2-3 days. Well that was a big fat lie. I'm pretty sure we are on day 5 now, that includes Saturday and Sunday... and I am still pissing with no door or wall on my bathroom. I never thought I had a shy bladder until now. I also enjoyed my first shower at my inlaws house today. If the contractor doesnt have the tub and shower installed by tomorrow, I will kill him.

He's actually doing a really good job, he cant help it that our local home improvement store - I dont want to step on any toes... but think big, orange, and not Lowes - cant pull their head out of their ass and deliver things on time. All together its just a frustrating experience so far and I'm ready to poop behind a closed door please.
