It was a rough 24 hours but one piece of bad news turned out to be not as bad as anticipated. On Wednesday we had to take one of my dogs in for emergency ultrasound for a "suspicious soft tissue mass" on her spleen. Course your first thought goes to cancer and, at 11 years old, I wasn't keen to put her under to have the spleen taken out. However, it turns out to be another - completely treatable - issue instead so she should be just fine. The second piece of bad news is still unfolding and not getting any better but that one is just completely out of my control. I just feel horrible for all involved.
With half of the bad news out of the way, I stopped by Lowe's today to order the carpeting and get the paint for the basement. I never knew it would cost $850 to carpet 276 square feet. And that's with the cheaper eco-carpeting! Speaking of which, the Lowe's flooring guy I worked with was SO excited I chose the environmental carpeting option. As in, called in the floors and windows guy to point it out and went on and on about how we could tell everyone we were doing our part for the environment. At $850 apparently we're also doing our part for the economy! But it will make a huge difference in the space (the floor is just the concrete base right now so anything will be a huge improvement).
Now that the carpet's ordered I have a deadline looming over me to get the painting done before the carpet arrives and is ready for installation. So tomorrow after a few morning errands the pups and I will be down in the basement happily painting away.
