Say hello to our current bathroom door (otherwise known as our old shower curtain)...

and to the current state of our bathroom... 

and to the first floor sink - which is that white square in the center - the one you can see through the hole in our bathroom floor!

As you can tell, our bathroom is undergoing a full makeover!  Which means that although we have to go to the bathroom guarded by nothing more than a plastic curtain - and although we have to impose on the generosity of friends for use of their shower facilities - we will soon have a beautiful new space!  

I remember loving these types of repairs as a kid (not that it happened very often at our house).  I loved the change to our regular space, and I loved the topsy-turviness that continued until the repairs were complete.  Having just a toilet in our bathroom would have probably been very exciting to me as a kid, though not quite so much as an adult.  Now I get annoyed by inconvenience and forget how priveldged I am to have the only major inconvenience in my life be a bathroom-in-progress.  So I'll channel the wonder and excitement of my childhood self while I make the track once again to a friend's shower.
