The Bathroom – Prequel
As referenced in this post, our bathroom will be overhauled extensively, much to the disruption of our daily routine. I think this is the perfect time to document the evolution of this sanitation sanctuary.
Here is the bathroom pre-renovation:
Before!
Yes, we have a phone in there. It’s rather convenient for us, perhaps not so much for the caller.
This is the reason for the renovation:
Damage, Bath
Damage, Closet
Now how is that conducive to basic health and hygiene? The second picture is from the bedroom next door, in the closet. As you can see, the damage is much more extensive, and perhaps representative of what’s going on inside the double-wall construction. If the wood has rotted away this much, it’s a sure bet that some nastiness is brewing within the bowels of the bathroom.
Hopefully the work will not reveal other problems hidden beneath. This is already costing me.
Here is a preview of things to come:
New bath fixtures
Discuss amongst yourselves whether or not I’ll add the computer or upright fan. Who knows? Perhaps browsing the dregs of the internet requires some adequate ventilation.

Superstitions
I mentioned to The Galbraith that I try not to cut my nails at night. I have heard many stories as to why I should not, the first and foremost being that I will not be with my parents when they pass away. The roots of said reason is Japanese, but whether or not it’s a distinctive superstition is unknown to me. Perhaps other people could elaborate.
Other superstitions I have include not sleeping with my feet towards the door, not sleeping with my head pointed north, and sticking my chopsticks into my food and leaving it there. I follow a lot more Japanese superstitions, but they have become such a habit that I can’t remember which ones they are. It is no longer a conscious effort and many times the circumstances do not allow for such activities. For example, passing food from chopstick to chopstick is a no-no, but no one does it so it never comes up.
I figure, why take chances?
Superstitions are funky!
