December 22nd Wrap-Up

 

The couple that has been waiting for its fire-damaged Grace Village condo to be restored told my husband that they have been told December 22nd is the wrap-up date. You can see in the photo that the condo does look about ready for occupancy. The refrigerator is visible through the kitchen opening. Looks like they chose to go with laminate flooring which is probably wise since they own a dog.

 Because of window screens, I could only get a good photo through the glass patio door, but a look through the bedroom window indicates the doors and closet doors and lighting is in place now. I could see through the pass-through window between the kitchen and TV room/den somebody painting the garage walls today. It may be that there has to be some kind of inspection before moving in. Their little dog will be confused again since the condo where they have been staying has a flip layout from this condo. Over 10 months is a long time away to remember how things were; the dog has memorized a whole different layout for home. 

My husband felt almost back to normal earlier this week. Thursday afternoon/evening he had a runny nose and chills again. Yesterday sneezing and coughing. I found out there is something called COVID rebound. His home test yesterday showed positive so he is to isolate for another 5 days (or less if a subsequent test is negative and he has no fever). The Grace Village receptionist has COVID now, too. Several residents, also. It's not surprising since folks are attending holiday concerts and parties now. I am not 100% well but except for a slightly stuffy nose and occasional cough I feel pretty good. 

For Christmas Day I have ordered a Bob Evans holiday feast which is prepared dishes to be reheated and prepped: mashed potatoes, stuffing, turkey breast, gravy, cranberry sauce, corn, green beans, pumpkin pie, rolls. We will pick it up at 1 p.m. December 24th from the local Warsaw restaurant. I will need to make room in the refrigerator. My husband's sister and her husband will join us at our home midday. 

Hope you are well and that your plans are falling into place.
