Friday - I am so excited to tell you, dear friends. Our house is being renovated and John was so thoughtful to rent this home in the country for our respite. I will, no doubt, have plenty of peace and quiet for my writing. 

Comment: from Jane Adams.
I am so jealous Charlotte! I know you will totally love your stay. We will miss you. What a beautiful place!
Charlotte Liked Jane Adams comment.

Saturday- Folks! This home is to die for. Really! The gardens are so nicely landscaped.

Sunday - Well, I must say, the house is beautiful, but...the upstairs room we are staying in is to, put it "nicely," is horrid. The paper on the walls must be replaced. OMG. Can you say YUCK. I know what I will be doing during my spare time. lol. I had to take a picture of this atrocious wallpaper.

Thursday - I have been pacing the floor wondering what could be done about this wallpaper. I think I will ask John about updating this badly neglected room. I am perplexed as to why this particular room was given to us and also why every other room in the house is so beautiful. I am going to start peeling it off right now! Some areas of the wallpaper are actually coming off already and stained and completely revolting!

Thursday - John says "No, we won't be here much longer." He may think it won't be much longer. He should try to be up here all day! If John calls me a "blessed little goose" one more time, I think I shall pass out from being so furious!

Jane Adams commented:  Dear Charlotte, I hope you are not spending too much time with the disquieting paper. I know John truly means well. I am sure of that! Try to write and get your mind off all of the nuisances.

Charlotte Commented - Thank you Jane, I will try, although the doctor and my husband discourage me writing. Another thing I am furious over.

Friday - I am gaining progress on peeling. I will be napping after I finish some more peeling. Hope everyone is having a good day!

Charlotte is: Having epiphany after epiphany. Ha Ha John thinks I am getting better because of his ideas with getting me out in the country. Ha Ha he has not idea what I am finally figuring out from this wallpaper. Hideous wallpaper, but for some reason, in which I will be following up on, the wallpaper STINKS! Yes, it is really starting to smell. Something between a rotted egg and a skunk. Weird. I will find out where it is coming from!

Friday - I only have two more days to get this job done. That woman in the wallpaper is getting out in the daytime. I don't know how she is doing that, but I am close to finding out. Lucky her, she gets to roam in the gardens. John update....He is getting weird!

Saturday - Hurrah! Today is the last day and I am finished with the paper. Jenny is even glad it is gone!  Nope that pattern, fungus, and kooky woman has not got the best of me. To be sure! 

Saturday -John is losing it! I had to throw the key away or those two, Jenny and John, will put me back into the wallpaper. NO. THEY WILL NOT. The wallpaper is gone. GONE! John is so persistant at knocking and knocking on the damn door.

  1. I'm so sorry I missed this earlier. How fantastic! I'd love to use it as an example for next semester's ENGL150 class.
