What's "Under Construction" Today?

Ever wake up, sigh (several times of course), and catapult still wishing-to-be-asleep limbs from bed, knowing that you are nursing an attitude of "today is just going to be a destructive day"??? Not destructive as in debasing my spouse of children, or screeching cruelties at innocent passersby, but destructive as in a refreshing desire to hack something to its very core, unravel what appears to be unclean or ugly or simply undesirable, and start afresh, building from base up...

Luckily for my husband (who, if reading this, is likely slowly simmering anxiety as to what will appear or be altered when he walks into our home), this is not one of those days.

But what is currently "under construction"?
Physically that would constitute the brick wall between the kitchen and living area (brick exposed when one day I decided it was time to remove part of a wall to enable our "mezzanine" to seem as though more than one person could actually be standing in it at once), and the bathroom (what started as my "nemesis" a year and a half ago has become an almost profound symbol of my personal growth: my new 'who cares?' attitude. It functions...even if the toilet does wobble and creak when reaching for t.p.) To anyone who hasn't observed our washroom in a couple of days, however, there has been a minor change. And let me explain this with first a "warning": the implications of a "practical joke" should be clearly considered before undertaking aforementioned joke. Jeff's reaction to this practical joke - a mere few seconds, though amusing - may not quite level the work now needed to "undo" joke...

Last week while finally painting Rebekah's shelf (yes, we bought the mistint sale paint at the same time we bought the bathroom hue...1 1/2 years ago)my brilliantly mischievous mind surmised 'pepto bismol meets neon coloured paint on shelf...plain white bathroom walls...paint roller coated and some left in tray...Jeff...wildly entertaining shock...' and it all went from there...The problem? Cheap mistint paint = oil based. [insert shaking of your head while muttering "Jen Jen Jen" here]

Under construction Spiritually? Emotionally? Topics for another day...
