Thoughts, Resubmissions, and Bad News

So the weekend's over. Been trying REALLY hard not to think about all this (at least until Coastline's bid comes in later today)... though we've been quietly talking about options. But without heavy thinking, I've been able to get through Saturday and Sunday with only one sublingual on Saturday. And why did I need one on Saturday?

Well, David the architect came over. And I tried not bring up his lack of communication. I succeeded not exploding... but I needed a sublingal after. He took home copies of the bids to give us feedback. Whatever.

Our discussion (light, tangential) of the bids DID bring up one glaring item. The Herman bid (384K) included allowances for such things as flooring and granite; the Lowe bid (412K) didn't. Ewwww. Lowe's out of the picture.

So yesterday, we visited some of Lisa's distant cousins for an engagement brunch; I kept thinking how cool any such event for Kyle or Jack would be in our new kitchen. Otherwise, I kept the remodel completely out of mind.

But today, it all came back. I had to resubmit the plan check... the City said that it would be another two weeks. Grand. And the Fire Department flipflopped and now we need the fire sprinklers. Great.

Fred will drop by the bid tonight at 6.

Wonderful...
