We went down to the tile store yesterday but it was closed on Sundays (I got my dates mixed up), so I went down quickly this morning and put the final order in. We decided to put mosaic tile on the shower step-in wall as well as on the shower floor. Then I went for my walk and left the men working in the basement for about an hour. The tapers and sanders had arrived upon my return.
The tile salesgirl had mentioned to me the other day that her 28 year old boyfriend had been in the hospital for intestinal surgery due to crohn's disease or colitis or something similar. He's recovering at home, but it struck me that these young people today are coming down with all sorts of unexpected illnesses. I know of another young adult with a similar auto-immune illness and yet another with a heart condition that required surgery.
Looking back at the weekend, it was actually quite restful for a change. L caught up on her sleep most of the day yesterday but seemed to stay up all night doing homework. K has school photo day today and he's staying late with his friends for a tech tutorial. He said the floaters in the left eye have subsided but the right eye is the same at the moment. He's been overdosing on Pillsbury ready to bake Halloween cookies.

Hard to believe Halloween is coming up. It is not a holiday celebrated very much (at all) here. I did see a very small display of costumes at Tesco this weekend. Seriously, the display was maybe 10'x4'!
The decorations are already going up here.
You were right, L did go to Tyson's Corner.
TC is a dangerous place. A thousand years ago, we made a temporary move to DC for my husband's work. The first couple of weeks were spent at the Ritz-Carleton at TC! We loved it in the DC area.
