So much going on

We finally got a dollar amount from the condominium association's insurance company--we don't actually have the check but it's coming by the end of the month. Since we got that news, we've lined up a general contractor (he did a bunch of renovations for some friends of ours in the building), met with our realtor and his partner who is an interior decorator for finish advice aimed at a quicker sale should that have to happen, decided on a few changes that will also help with resale as well as improving the livability of the apartment, and met with a kitchen person at Home Depot to sort out exactly which cabinets we need to order.

This weekend we need to hit the tile stores because the tile on the kitchen floor has to be replaced as does the tile around the tub. As it turns out, we get to/have to replace the tub tile because the water got into the drywall behind the tile on the front part of the tub. You can see what the tile looks like in this picture--it's pretty cool-looking but very hard to get paint that works with that tile. I'd like to replace it with white subway tile.

I'm exhausted.
