So the bathroom remodeling project is right in the thick of it now. I took everything down to the studs and am attempting to put new stuff in. The problem is that so far nothing has gone smooth. The window had water damage around it so I had to replace some of the framing and it turned out that the window hole was once a bigger size so they had done some creative construction around it to get it to fit. The shower is a non-standard size so I have to do something special to make it work. The floor around the toilet was not lining up so I have to figure something else out. I had dreams of tearing everything out and it all going back together easily. That is my life, I am just not able to make plans that come out just like I want. Instead, it has been a constant recalculating exercise. After some event throws a monkey wrench in the way, I try something else. I don’t want to say it has been all bad, on the contrary, even the not so good has made me smarter. I was reading the other day about successful people and how most of them have had crazy paths to success. If I take that to heart I should probably look at my life as a means to the end. Like the bathroom, at some point, I will finish it, and it won’t be perfect, but I will look on it with pride knowing it took some miracles, but if I did half of what I want to accomplish it will look pretty good!
