If you give a girl too much medication...

She will redecorate your whole house

Below is my version of If you Give a Pig a Pancake.

Last year I had mono all summer. By fall I was itching to do things but the doctors discovered I have a thyroid problem. I had been monitoring it for several years and it finally decided to start acting up enough for me to become a pin cushion every six weeks and get an ultrasound every six months. So I started meds and then they upped my dose. I felt pretty good. Really really good in fact. I was like a toddler on a basket of Halloween candy.  Found out later it was a wee bit much, but man was I a one woman team of accomplishment. Maybe a "little" irritable and twitchy but my house is starting to look great. They downed my meds and suddenly I was getting half as much done but probably a nicer to deal with.

So enjoy my trip into insanity. My husband didn't, but my house sure did.All these projects were completed from mid September to mid November.

One late September morning, I looked at my drapes and decided I no longer liked them. So I took them down. While taking them down I got a good look at the wallpaper border in the kitchen and decided that it too had to go.

 So I removed it. The walls didn't look good with it off so I painted...

 The entire downstairs.

While painting the downstairs I looked in my dining room and decided it need a window treatment. So I made one. Through the window I saw some really ugly bushes.

So I decided to rip them out.My husband came home from work and said, "honey where is the hedge?"


 And plant Blueberry bushes in their place.


And since I already had a shovel in my hand I might as well take out some other bushes while I was at it.



Now I was all sweaty so I decided to take a shower and found that I really hated the flooring in my bathroom.(That is my daughter who decided to help paint the walls on a different project and a whole other hilarious story)

So I tore it out and put down tile.

Very satisfied with the new tile I decided to treat myself to a nice game on the computer, but when I got to the office I noticed the wallpaper was peeling so I started taking it off.  (old picture but you can really see the paper)

 And noticed that the carpet was in really bad shape. So I ripped up the flooring and put down hardwood.

 

Then I discovered the walls needed paint too.

So I painted the room.

If they up my meds again, I might decide I no longer like the drapes in the living room.
