I had another one of those 'sleepy migraines' day before yesterday, when all I could do is sleep.  If I get up to eat or go to the bathroom, I throw up.  I have to have the room dark, and can't even stand to sit up in bed.  There's little pain in my head, but the rest of my body hurts, which is about usual.  I've just developed this type of migraine lately, and, at first, I laid it to exhaustion. 
The work at Creekside goes on.  I'm currently frustrated with the tile in the new upstairs bathroom.  I thought I had plenty of tile for the room, which is a distinct pink color, and is a little rough in texture.  After I got to doing the actual laying of it, I discovered that I don't have enough.  It's close, but just not enough.  There's so many odd cuts and angles that it was almost impossible to figure before the actual laying.  I would have made a checker-board pattern with some other tile had I known in time, but I wasn't about to start over with the job.  It's Crossville Tile, so I might can find more if I went to the factory in Crossville, but that will take about half a day to get there and back with the tile.  I SO wish I could feel like I'm making some progress.
I bought a top border yesterday, but I'm not totally sold on the idea that it's perfect for that room.
It's really pretty, and about the only border that the wall paper shop had that would work at all, with color.  Tile wall paper is hard to match with border, I think.
..and I'm so particular with that house.
We slept late this morning.  We don't get home until late, so we don't want to get started too early.
Steve did not get the new door for the kitchen installed, so we're still behind on that project.
I went to a place down on Papermill Road to get another one after he took out the former one.
That man is so nice, and he lifts and moves those doors and windows like they're lego blocks.  He has the lowest prices in East Tennessee for doors and windows.
Stucco has not been back to work.  I haven't heard from him or Cherokee.  I went by their house yesterday, but they were not there.  Steve is about as mad as a hornet over the work not being done, as Cherokee and I told Stucco he would.  I have to live with the rage, though.
Well....another day.
I need to get to Lowe's for some more mastic for the ceramic tile I CAN lay.
