  • Been working on a kitchen renovation, bit by bit. Floors, cabinets, counter… Basically everything except for appliances and general layout. The last big step was the tile backsplash, and my friend helped me with caulking it this past weekend (she said she has a pretty good touch with that, and I know I probably don’t). Turned out pretty good!

    Normally my dad would help me with stuff like that, but he lives a few states away. He knows I’ve been working on it, but hasn’t seen any progress pictures in a long time. It’ll be fun to show him when my parents come to visit this week!

    Down to some trim work (floor, cabinet toe kicks) and a few other odds and ends!












  • When you’re being encouraged in a place that supplies your income and with that your livelihood, an “encouragement” becomes pressure.

    Similarly, my brother-in-law once bought a rather expensive gift for my father-in-law and asked if we wanted to pitch in for it. He’s truly a great person, we get along great, and if we said no I don’t think it would have been a big deal at all… But being the one who married into the family relatively recently, it’s a difficult thing to push back on. And that’s in the best case scenario with someone you know, love, and trust. We don’t know that OP has that same kind of relationship with their coworkers
