John the Painter man will be here today to start working on our house. He will be doing the entire upstairs, except for the two bathrooms. Linda is going to try to tackle those herself with the help of expert painter Sarah. John is all business. He is not the kind of guy who gets down on his knees to play with us. In fact, he totally ignored the fact we are in the room. Chimmie never once greeted him, jumped on him or bought him a toy. Even the cat just sat there looking at him and did not run and hide like she does 100% of the time when new people come over. It was like he put up a force shield around him and we couldn't detect his presence. He'll be here about 4 full days, so maybe by the end of the painting job Chimmie might try to be his friend. John was like Cesar The Dog Whisperer. When you come into a house with dogs the rule is: no touch...no talk.... no eye contact. It really worked! I hope he has that kind of mojo with a paint brush.
Linda is trying to have a thankful heart about her new wood floor and not think about the cabinets. When Tier saw the photo Linda sent her of them, she said it's not nearly as bad as Linda was making it out to be. Even if nothing gets done to them, Linda has to stop whining.
The first way to get over her pride of them looking bad is to just let it all hang out. Even the handles are broken on some of the doors. Maybe when she puts on all the new handles and knobs, it will make a huge difference, right?
