the clock is up

Yesterday, hubby had to ask our building maintenance guys to install a new shower head. I remember the shower head was replaced a year or so ago, but this time the cord of the replacement gave and we had to change again. To maximize their visit, I asked hubby if we could also have them drill and install the new clock. Remember the clock i bought in Dapitan? Well, I know it's been weeks but hubby and I haven't installed it.

Hubby has become dependent once again on house help after Belen's supposedly 2-month stint with us that he requested that we postpone completion of my project, including replacing our bedroom clock, until Belen comes back. Yes, we have decided to keep her. She's just in the province for a 3-week vacation for their hometown fiesta and the election. His request came with assuring me that it was our (his and mine) couple's project, but we just have to wait for Belen. It was one of the funniest moments in our day to day as a couple. If I knew how to do a comic strip, I would probably use that moment as the quintessence of our marriage dynamics and couple humor. Comments like that from my hubby I find endearing rather than infuriating. I know him and I love him to bits.

Well, he knows me too and he knows I wouldn't be able to wait for Belen, especially if the opportunity presents itself. My other project is still on hold until Belen gets here but the clock, I thought we could install with the help of the maintenance guys. And we did.

The clock is up. Of course it came with the dust and the vacuuming afterwards which got my hubby shaking his head. Well, I told you he knows me too.

Did you know that it's a dual face clock? I know that putting it in a corner wastes its two-face nature but I like that the clock rotates and I can let it face whichever direction I want. Of course now, it's set at an angle to make it more visible from the bed and bedroom door.
