small town

so far small town life seems pretty good. especially since we are only about a half mile from the main street / downtown area. if we wer further, it might not be so good. especially since we only have one car now. which has been working out just fine. adam works close enough that i can drop him off if i need the car for the day. but most of the time i don't think i will unless i need to go grocery shopping or just want to go to another town around here. but for just going to the library or coffee shop or even the clinic, it's close enough to just walk everywhere. which will be very good for me, cuz i am lazy. i've already decided that once i get my library card i'm only going to let myself check out one or two books at a time so that i am forced to walk down there when i want a new book (which could be daily). it's also nice because adam gets an hour for lunch, which is plenty of time for him to come home to eat, or even for me to [pick him up and go out for lunch occassionally. fun fun.

bleh...

so i haven't been feeling very well for the past week. sore throat (kinda like something is stuck in there and stabbing me) and wierd chest (congestion?). and i had thought it was starting to get a little better, but then today, it's just been awful. and of course we don't have health insurance until march 1st. great. but it was just too much for me, so i decided to go to the dr. so yeah, he's not totally sure, but said my throat is definitely infected - very very red. since i don't have insurance yet, he skipped the throat culture and other tests he could have done, and gave me some sample meds that will cover strep if that is what it is. so hopefully it is actually strep and that the meds start helping me to feel better. cuz if i don't feel better by monday i'm supposed to go back and then he will do a throat culture and who knows what else, which will cost who knows how much. so yeah. what a great day this has been. hopefully it doesn't end up costing too much - they will send me the bill, so i have no idea at the moment what it will cost...

painting

so i've been painting a lot lately. first we painted the office - which turned out super cool - i will post pictures soon. and then yesterday i was sick of unpacking stuff, so decided to paint the basement bathroom. i am super happy with it. well except for the nasty cabinets. but i might strip those and paint them sometime too. so here are some before and after pictures of the bathroom.
it worked perfectly because we had just enough of the blue paint left over from painting the office to paint the bathroom - and it was the perfect color and matched our shower curtain and soap dishes and stuff.
