Another busy day. Took my mom to a liver specialist for a checkup (they're all busy) then we did a quick follow-up ultrasound and blood test, but there went most of the day. She has a fatty liver, as does one of my sisters, maybe we all do. The cream in my coffee won't help!
I'm making some quick breaded pork chops and baking some potato wedges for today's meal.
They vacuumed and cleaned the basement floor today. The painter started and we're all primed. The closets will be spray painted calming cream (hope they don't have problems finding my colour). The main ceilings will be spray painted white to match the potlights, then the walls will be hand-painted calming cream.
The university fair yesterday was worthwhile and very crowded, so there will be lots of competition for university entrance. If you have an over 90 average you're automatically entered for scholarships at some of the top universities, over 95 is even better. It was a good opportunity for L to inquire about class sizes and the different programs offered. I'm glad she still has next year to fine tune this process, it can be overwhelming. You have to make special visits to out-of-province universities, yesterday was just Ontario universities. I think even K got something out of this experience. We were talking about which cousin or which friend goes to what university.

From the outside, your remodel is going very fast. Calming cream sounds like a wonderful colour! I love it when the ceilings are white and the walls are a different colour.
the truth is 'calming cream' was looking very bright in the closet last night! So much for choosing from paint swatches. Fingers crossed for the total look at the end!
I am sure that once you get all your furniture in, you will be glad you went with a light colour on the walls. Have you picked out furniture yet?
I'm thinking of a sectional sofa of some kind, but I don't want to rush and end up with more clutter! I'm trying to warn M to really think about what we store down there. With the new potlights it looks more modern than upstairs! I can see why people can never stop renovating once they start.
