Still waiting...

No action in the kitchen lately, barring the usual: suppers, packing lunches, making coffee.
About the funniest thing was the countertops.  Finally decided on quartz because they are heat-resistant for when I put a pot down.  They are anti-bacterial for when I'm a slob and my sister said Consumer Reports said they are the best.  We were raised to consider Catholic teachings first and Consumer Reports second.
I was going with a small, local business, as I like to do.  I like the service and face I get with a smaller company.  Problem is, Lowe's price for quartz counters was a full 30 percent less that the smaller shop's.  I could handle a bit, but 30%?
My plan was to put it to Small Kitchen Store lady to come close to Lowe's price.  Her answer?  "I'd go to Lowe's."  As she called it, granite is granite, quartz is quartz.  The product is the same and she herself would save the money.
She also said she used to work for them and they have people dedicated just to solving customer problems, which I should expect.
I ordered the counters.  Three days later, a man came all the way from Williamsburg with his laser to shoot the template, and I now wait.  They said about 2 weeks.  It's been over that and they haven't gotten the material yet.
It's ok.  I have plywood.  Mostly.  Except where I spilled a cup of coffee down into and between the cabinets.  Still, it's ok.
I get my hip replaced on Valentine's Day so I'll be walking funny for awhile, but I walk funny now.  So, it's ok.
