I got three hours of painting done today – yay! I almost have the kitchen cabinets first coat on. Still have three more sets of cabinets to do. The second coat will go on faster than the first one does. I like the look of the painted cabinets and the color I choose. I was afraid it was too light of a shade but now that it is up I can see the true color and like it. It is really making the kitchen brighter and cleaner looking.
The door guy came today and fixed the door to the metal shed. It didn’t take very long to do so. Am glad to finally get to cross something off my to-do list. He will come do my screen door when the screen he ordered comes in.
The internet people called today and aren’t too convinced we are still having connectivity issues. I will be so glad when the new company comes out this way and we can get a different provider. Jim talked to the internet people and I’m not sure I understand where they left it. If we keep getting kicked off I will call them again.
Our guest came out around 4:30. He joined us for dinner. I had fixed a crock pot of chili this morning so dinner was easy tonight. We have enjoyed visiting with him this afternoon and evening.
The wind was in a big hurry most of the day. We had gusts well over 40 MPH today with sustained wind of 30 MPH most of the day. I almost got blown over when I went down to do the chickens this morning. The girls gave us 26 eggs today. The wind didn’t seem to slow them down. The wind has finally calmed down a bit this evening and it is only going about 20 MPH now.
It reached 80 degrees today but was so windy I didn’t get out to enjoy the warm weather. The wind was a bit cold and hard. It was too windy to have the windows or doors open. It is to cool down and only be in the low 60’s tomorrow. KS can’t decide if it wants to warm up or stay cool.
I didn’t get a nap today. It may be an early bedtime for me tonight. I want to get up and go finish the first coat on the kitchen cabinets tomorrow morning. I’m getting tired of painting cabinets and want that job done.
I took seven calls on the hot line last night. None of them were imminent risk which is always good. One was a bit alarming but I convinced them to contact their therapist and to text back in if they couldn’t get hold of their therapist. I doubt I get on tonight as I am tired tonight but we will see what happens. They have been so busy lately that I feel guilty if I don’t get on and help out for an hour or two.
Nothing on the calendar for the next couple of days. Later in the week I’ll need to go to town and buy groceries for our Easter feast. I’ll start baking on Saturday for that. I can’t wait till the kids come out Easter Sunday. It will be so good to have them gathered around my tables again.
I may need to mow my yard sometime this week. It is getting high in spotty places. I haven’t heard when my guy is coming to do the burning of the outer yard. My neighbor hasn’t burned his pasture yet either.
It feels good to be physically tired tonight from three hours of painting today. I am hoping that will help me sleep better tonight. I am overdue again for a good night’s sleep.
Jim and I were commenting how much work we have to do around this house this spring too. Now that we have the other big project we are starting to feel work piling up around this house too. Guess we will do what we can and the rest will patiently wait for us to get around to it. Not sure when we are going to get back down to Stillwater to work on that big project too. Too much to do and not enough to time to get it all done.
Grateful to have gotten three hours of painting time in today, grateful for the company of our guest, and grateful the wind has slowed down this evening a bit. The sound was wearing me out earlier.
