One-Month Kitchen Disaster

My kitchen has been a wreck for a month! And counting! Not being able to cook, blog or smell anything but sawdust and paint is depressing. It doesn't help that my mom is gravely ill and I feel helpless on that front as well. I'd like to say the kitchen is almost done. I'd love to say that my mom's illness is being addressed and all will be fine. Grasping for stability and it hurts to not have any certainty to lean on.
