The concert last night was fabulous. It was St. Martin in the Fields with Joshua Bell on the violin. They played some Mendelssohn and Beethoven. We sat way up in the balcony but the seats were good. Watching Joshua play the violin was like watching fairies dance.
I got up early this morning and after breakfast I did the final painting in the kitchen. Good to have that done. When Jim gets the cabinet doors made and fitted I will need to paint them.
After Jim got up we went and ordered the flooring material for the kitchen. It won’t be in for about two weeks. That will cut it short to get it laid before the wedding but I think we can get it done.
We dropped off a car load of donations at the Salvation Army and the ReStore. Stopped and got an estimate to get my windshield replaced. It is cheaper to do it here than what I paid in Emporia for the last one. They are going to put it in Monday morning.
Came home and Jim went out into the shop to work on the cabinet doors. I laid down and slept for several hours. Not sure why I was tired but I was able to sleep. I take sleep whenever I can find it. I slept six hours last night. I still feel like I could sleep some more. Guess I am catching up a bit. We will see what happens tonight.
I fixed salmon for dinner. It is quick and easy. Neither one of us love it but I feel like it is good for me to eat occasionally. I usually fix it once a week. I had some broccoli with it. I fixed a baked potato for Jim as he doesn’t believe a meal is complete without a potato.
Got a text from my house sitter. Another chicken had died. It is unusual that two die this close together. We will see if more die soon. I was going to have someone take them away when I get home this spring. At this rate I won’t have to worry about that. They are almost five years old and have begun to really slack on egg production. I won’t replace them until I know what we are going to be doing next fall and winter.
I feel a bit achy tonight. Sure hope I am not coming down with something. I hope it is because of the painting I have been doing and not something else.
We took a one-mile walk this afternoon. It was in the mid 60’s today. It was a touch windy but nice to get out and stretch my legs.
My foot is feeling a bit better. It was only going off about every ten steps or so instead of every step. Maybe it is getting better and will gradually stop doing that.
We have another free day tomorrow. Hoping to get some cabinet doors painted so we can get them up on Sunday. I painted the doorway today and Jim needs to cut and put up two pieces of wood trim to finish off the dining room side of the door to the kitchen. He said he would do that tomorrow so I can get them painted too.
Having trouble knowing what day of the week it is. We usually don’t go out during the week except Jim goes to choir practice on Wednesday. Guess we need to go out more often and shake things up.
Grateful for a beautiful day in Stillwater – it feels like Spring is almost here, grateful the kitchen painting is done, and grateful for naps and sleep.
