The good news is that the glass people brought the newly cut shower glass today and IT FITS! As of right now, I can take a shower in my new bathroom and it seems that it is complete, although I'll leave the final decision to Adam when he gets home from work. Undoubtedly he will see something that I did not.
Now the bad news. After the Re-Bath people left, I was super hopped up on happiness because the glass fit and the workers were out of here in a half an hour, and it was only 3 pm and 70 degrees and sunny. So I changed into outside clothes and went out and worked in the yard, soaking up that sunshine and melting away my depression. I pulled all the weeds and scrub out of my flower beds and played with my dog. It was lovely. Then I got a brilliant idea. I have had this hammock in the shed for almost 2 years (!) and so I drug it out and decided where I want to put it in the yard. I got the tape measure and measured the distance between the two trees and saw that I could put it there. I was super excited and thinking I can have this hammock hung up in time for Adam to get home from work - he'll be so proud of me! Keep in mind I'm like completely doped up on sunshine. Can anyone guess what ridiculously stupid thing I did then?
Piece of Evidence Number 8,794,394 that I am not from Texas, nor did I belong in the Environmental Protection field ---> I followed the (probably written by a Northerner) instructions and pulled out a drill and drilled a hole in the tree. Then I stepped back, looked at it, watched an ant crawl in it, and thought: WHAT AN IDIOT!?!?!?!?
WTF was I thinking? As soon as I did it, I realized what I had done to my pretty little live oak and all the surrounding pretty little live oaks, so I ran and got the can of tree paint and totally slimed the entire tree. I hope I got it in time. If my entire yard dies of oak wilt I am going to be so so so pissed at myself.
Adam wasn't exactly happy either. So, yeah. I don't have a hammock and my husband is not proud of me. But I can take a shower. It's a game of win and lose my friends.
