Toilet seats and diet breaking

After a few days of a mutual bad attitude between the boyfriend and I, we headed into the big city to do some errands. A new toilet seat cover to replace the ratty one in our rented house... that looks as though it was installed when the house was built. A large beveled mirror to replace the horrific medicine cabinet that looks as though it carries tetnus and a pedestal sink so that we may rip out the large, horribly painted wooden cabinet and sink that takes up nearly a fourth of our bathroom. The last two items I found on craigslist for a very good price! Added to the shopping was a large can of white paint to re-do the walls and ceiling, and the bathroom will be looking spectacular in no time. My ultimate desire would be to rip down the shower panel walls and Formica and replace them with an updated shower board I saw at Menards today. Only $20 a panel and the bathroom is so small, would be no problem. But finances aside, I only rent and I suppose it would be too grand a gesture.

I had badgered the bf into taking most our money and squirreling it away into a fund for hiring him an attorney. He fought the idea, smoked several cigarettes out of frustration... and conveniently let me forget to do it while we were out running errands. He also had no problem spending a ton of money today on anything I wanted for the bathroom, groceries and eating out. Anything to stall going to jail I suppose. I won't allow him to continue this. Especially at the expense of my diet. I'm holding steady at 160lbs and I'm not about to slide backwards.

Upon returning home he fell asleep on the couch. I puttered around awhile waiting until he woke so he could put the new toilet seat together. After 4 hours I gave up, rolled up my sleeves and did it myself. It took a good bit of struggling to get the damn thing off. After several minutes of playing by the rules and using a screwdriver I finally lost patience and ripped the left hinge off. Then twisted it and pried it against the bowl to pull the second hinge loose. It was a snap installing the new lid and I'm quite please with the results. I'm wishing I'd taken before pics of the bathroom for after everything is painted and installed, but who would really care? LOL.
