I painted the dining room today. It is an easier room to paint than the living room will be as the stuff in the dining room is easier to move. Got the dining room floors hand washed and everything back in place. I like the color – it is kinda a sage greenish color. The living room will be one shade lighter than the dining room. I may get the living room painted tomorrow – we shall see what happens.
I went to Emporia for exercise at 2:00. Afterwards I picked up Ellexia and took her out to lunch. I hadn’t seen her for a bit so it was good to catch up with her. Took her home after lunch and then I went to Walmart to get a new cat box and tray. Hope this combination will prevent cat pee from getting on the floor.
I painted the dining room before I went to exercise and put the room back together again when I got home. As I sit in my chair and look at the dining room I see some touch up spots I need to take care of. I will do that before I take the ladder back to the shed after I finish the living room.
I turned the A/C on this morning. It was so humid the paint wasn’t drying very fast and I was sweating too much. The house is much more comfortable with the A/C on. I love having the fresh air blow in but the humidity is making that hard to allow. It will be hard for Kathy to keep her windows closed as she much prefers no A/C. I told her I would compromise and if she needs her windows open she can close her door. Not sure how the animals will tolerate that but it is the best compromise I can come up. I hate cooling the house when a window is open and the humidity comes in.
Walmart was out of my favorite yogurt so will have to go back Wednesday when I go to town for exercise. Not sure I will need any other groceries but maybe something will pop up on my list by then. I picked up the tablecloths and napkins today for the event Friday. I think I have all I need for that event now. Catering sure makes things easy.
I am meeting a friend for lunch in Cottonwood Falls tomorrow but other than that it will be a stay at home day. Hoping to get the living room painted and put back together tomorrow.
It felt good to see the fruits of my labor today. Too many days go by and I can’t see anything that I did. It alway amazes me how a coat of paint can reset the energy of a room and house. Slowly but surely we are claiming this house as ours.
Sitting in a good head space today. Completing a task helps. My to-do list is the shortest it has been for a long time. Lots of empty space on my calendar right now. I am still thinking about how I want to start filling some of that empty space. I made this move to create more empty space and don’t want to fill it with meaningless things. I’m trusting that the right things will drop into my lap sooner or later.
Grateful the dining room is painted and clean, grateful I got to have lunch with Ellexia today, and grateful the evening is full of empty space.
