Delivery Day

Our kitchen parts arrived bright and early this morning. Our bathroom delivery is expected later on. Our contractor is supposed to start tiling today. They were busy yesterday and they are late today. Hopefully they haven't become too busy on other projects as it's crunch time here as usual. This whole renovation thing involves a lot of trust, at least on the part of the homeowner. That is the cause of the stress, I think. What if? What if? Because there is a lot of money involved if and when things go wrong. I think the homeowner bears most of the risk. M has a friend who checked references and the guy still disappeared after he'd given a $10,000 deposit!

Well, I'm making my own chicken soup today, inspired by Just a Plane Ride Away.

Thank you for the sweet shout out! I hope the soup does the trick. I eat mine with rice. Do you prefer yours with noodles?

Renovation scares me... I think you are very brave.

BTW, I went to the article you linked to yesterday (?) about living to 100. Very interesting! I had not heard the iron theory.
