New kitchen

 Surprisingly, we're getting a new kitchen. Cabinets, counter, desk, microwave and stove, lights and flooring. Our dishwasher and fridge are newer, so they stay. 

Our kitchen is in the neighbourhood of 50 years old. Dark wood cabinets, whitish-yellowish tile counters with HUGE grout lines, and lights that look like they're from an office (those long fluorescent ones in a body case).

We originally mentioned to the landlords/Aaron's parents we were thinking of painting the cabinets, and maybe trying to find an overlay for the terrible counter. Then they start talking about real upgrades. I sort of blew it off, because they'd talked about it before, and nothing happened. But, lo and behold, contractors came, money was paid (not by us), and a date is set. We have to have everything out of it by Saturday. We've started, but it is a much more daunting task than I realized.

The current plan is to move the fridge and microwave into the living room, and make a small make shift kitchen in there. We have the garage for storage, but the main way in is through the kitchen; which might be difficult based on the stage of the remodel. 

It's giving me a lot of anxiety. And Bertram is dead set against it, because change.

I was going to add pictures, but I'm typing from my phone, and they option  doesn't see to be there. 🤷🏻‍♀️
