Kitchen Chaos

The kitchen is in progress. I cannot say that it is being fitted yet, because in fact it has not yet been delivered. Still, there is progress. The old has been ripped out and currently lies piled on the front lawn awaiting removal. The electricians are here as I write, busily installing new lights and plug points. I am here too, against my better judgement as I had decided that I would cope better with the whole process if I stayed out of the way during the day. However, my meeting ended early, home I came, and lucky as it happens that I did, since two of the six holes that the electrician had cut for positioning the new lights were where there will in fact be cupboards......
Tomorrow, if all goes to plan, the plasterer will work magic, the kitchen will be delivered, and the fitters will start building the units. I may, by the end of this week, have a functioning kitchen. Although NOT one with work surfaces, or indeed flooring. I forgot to order flooring. Damn. I need to get onto that. And the work surfaces apparently cannot be measured up until the rest of it is done, and then it will be a FURTHER two weeks before it is ready. It is a complicated business, this new kitchen thing....
So far I am coping, really rather well. But let's not get excited. It is day two. There are many, many more days to go.......
As to the rest of life, I have had bad days and good ones. I am struggling a little maybe, but I am ok. More or less.
