Horrible texturing job

I have been so happy with everything this far, until the texture guy came. My FiL arranged the guy, instead of the designer (problem 1). No one is sure what instructions FiL gave to the guy (problem 2), the FiL went camping and is incommunicado (problem 3). Hopefully, issues 2 and 3 can be solved today. Though, my MiL met with the guy, and I'm surprised she didn't find out the scope of his work before hand. Aaron, being an optimist, thinks it's not too bad. MiL doesn't like it, but could live with it. I hate it. I think it looks like popcorn ceiling, except everywhere.

The remodel has been moving along fairly quickly, which is good, because the whole thing is stressing me out. I don't like it when the house is messy, and I don't like it when things aren't where they go. Plus the stress from zoom schooling for Bert and his ABA, the election/general political situation, covid and quarantine, needing to get cavities filled, and the usual things, I feel like I have been living at a level of high anxiety for too long.

I can't remember what else I was going to talk about.
