Had a frustrating morning trying to tell my printer about the new internet provider. They don’t seem to want to be friends. I can only use my printer through the cord to the computer and can’t get the wireless connection to work. Not sure what I am doing wrong. When I am not so frustrated I will call the new internet provider and find out if they have any hints for me. I am so over it right now I can’t deal.
The solar guy came today. I really liked him. I signed the contract to have solar panels installed. He won’t get here until the end of October to do the work. We are going to put the panels on the barn roof as the south roof on the house is not big enough. It is a huge investment so trusting I am not doing the wrong thing.
The retaining walls are complete. I liked the guy that did that work too. He did a few little extra things Jim wanted done to help improve the drainage in the back yard. I was talking to the guy after I paid him and found out he would be interested in helping me install a labyrinth in the back yard. I might consider doing that next summer.
Jim sanded the railings on the deck and I painted them this afternoon. We only have the steps to do plus a bit more ladder work and the deck project will be completed. Another long weekend of work on it and we should wrap it up. Not sure when we will get to it but hoping a weekend soon.
I was able to get some good sleep last night. I woke up around 2:00 as my foot was cranky. I took some ibuprofen and about an hour later was able to go back to sleep. My foot was OK this morning but is a bit cranky this afternoon. I am moving more in this house than I do in Jim’s house and my foot doesn’t seem to approve. It can get over itself!
Jim is gathering up his tools and getting ready to go back to OK. I will go to OK Sunday afternoon and we will leave for NC Monday morning. We have been together since August 6 this time. That is the most time consecutively we have spent together and haven’t had a fight yet! I don’t look forward to coming home from NC as we will then be apart for two weeks or so. Life is much easier for me when we are together.
I have an empty space day tomorrow. I do want to get the box for the TV and see if I can get it hooked up. After the trouble I have had with the printer I am a bit nervous about my ability to successfully hook it up. We shall see! I also need to do some house cleaning. I haven’t done much for over a month and the house is starting to feel very dirty to me.
Feeling a bit cranky this afternoon. Thinking the timing of an empty space day is just what I need. The last three days have been busy with lots of extra people around. Although my mobility is better I am still limited as to what I can do comfortably. Guess it is a good thing I will be sitting in a car and not doing much for next week. Maybe by the time I get back home my foot will be lot better and things will feel more like normal for me.
Grateful for contractors that provide great service, grateful for more work done on the deck, and grateful It will only be two days before I am with Jim again.
