I’m picturing various scenarios where Sam hoses me down in the back yard with our new power washer.

In this post: Hosing off, excellent things from Amazon.

It’s official. We have an appointment with The Grout Doctor on Tuesday, and the crew will be here between 8 and 9 a.m. to recaulk and regrout the shower in our master bathroom. I should be excited as hell, but unfortunately this whole hoo-hah is turning out to be an unexpected inconvenience. Clayton — our personal grout physician — asked us not to use the shower on Sunday or Monday or for 48 hours after they finish the work. That’s FIVE DAYS, people! This isn’t a big crisis for Sam because he can shower in our guest bathroom, but I can’t because I’ve got serious mobility issues, there’s nowhere to sit down (the shower in our master bath has a marble bench) and I don’t want to fall over, start crying or have a nervous breakdown. At the moment I’m picturing various scenarios where Sam hoses me down in the back yard with our new power washer. (Don’t tell the neighbors.) Holy crap.

Hey, I just ordered the following excellent things from Amazon!

The deluxe senior citizen shower bar with suction cups eventually will be part of the shower in the master bathroom (sometime next week after the new grout dries) and the bronze vanity tray is for the top of the toilet tank in our guest bathroom to hold toiletries and assorted whatnots. I’m really excited, aren’t you? Both will be delivered on Monday.

I’m ready for a nice early dinner. More later, okay?
