Only a couple days left of feeling obligated to post every day. Yes, all of a sudden I am feeling burnt out.

Obviously, I no longer have a perfect record, since Drew served as my under-study last night. I haven't been feeling very well the past couple of days. Just really tired and run-down, though, so it's not a big deal. I guess that's my only excuse for not having much motivation to post the past couple of days.

Anyway, I don't have anything very interesting to post tonight. Yes, as Drew mentioned, we've been getting a lot of estimates for replacing countertops, appliances, and carpeting/tile (upstairs in the living room/kitchen/dining area as well as the hallway to the upstairs bedrooms, stairway to both levels, and entry area). We'll probably do a little at a time, as we can afford it, and I think countertops will be first on the list. We got some initial estimates on solid surfaces such as granite, quartz, and Corian, but I don't think we're willing to spend that much. We're leaning toward laminate or granite tile (which can be comparable, price-wise, to laminate). Drew has been researching the granite tile a bit more to see if he is up to the challenge of doing it himself. (I'm not sure I'm up to being without a working kitchen for a couple weeks or more, but I guess we'll see. )

Other than that, it looks like we'll be getting a winter storm over the weekend. More snow for us!
