Planning a bath remodel...

Kevin's spring break is in a week. I am going to take the week off too. We are going to tile the surround of the shower. I stopped at a tile store on my way home from work today to pick up samples. Tomorrow we will order the shower door and figure out what tools we are going to need and don't have. This should be an adventure.

Kevin's brother, Richard, is staying with us for a while...I don't think any of the three of us want to go more than a day or two with out a shower - and we only have one bathroom. The plan is to use the neighbor's shower while ours is out of commission.

It looks like it will be Mark, Jay & I riding on Sunday. If it isn't raining. They are fair weather riders, I hope it is sunny.

I have been trying to rehab my knee so that it won't hurt when I run. It has been pretty frustrating as it has hurt every day for the last 18 months. My physio therapist thinks we are to the point where we can maintain the pain level, mobility and range of motion...but it won't really be much better than it is today. It still hurts all of the time. I am not running and not kicking when I swim. I am going to look in to other options - options that involve a scapel. I don't like the idea of not being able to be active (run/swim etc) in the next 50 years. I would rather go through 2 years of hell (it is a full year of recovery from the surgery) and be able to be active after that, rather than pain for the rest of my life. I really miss running.
