Got some more painting done this afternoon. I ran out of paint and had to stop. Good thing Jim went into town today to get some supplies so he can start his part of the remodel. He picked up another gallon of paint for me so I can go at it again tomorrow.
We stripped the bed downstairs of the linens and grabbed the towels out of the bathroom so I can get everything washed up so it will be fresh for when our guest comes Monday. I’ll need to go down either tomorrow or Monday and clean the bathroom and floors. The room hasn’t been touched since August and needs a layer of dust removed from it.
I took another nap today. This is becoming a habit again. I sure sleep better during the afternoon than I do at night.
I was on the hot line earlier tonight as they got busy. I only handled two or three callers. They got caught up so I signed off. I have put in 14.5 hours this week and am not to exceed 12. They are so busy that they have been allowing us to put in extra hours if we are able to do so. They have started training new volunteers again so hoping we can get some more night owls to work so texters don’t have to wait so long to get someone to talk to.
I fixed Jim Gravy Train for dinner and I had a hamburger patty. I really need to give more thought about what we are eating. I seem to be in a rut and can’t come up with anything creative and exciting to fix.
Tomorrow Jim and I are going into the new house again and get some more work done. I want to finish getting the first coat of paint on the upper cabinets and doors. Jim got some lumber so he can start repairing woodwork. He also got some plaster so he can repair holes in the walls. I am hoping the handyman will be home so I can get him a key so he can get started on the three rooms he is going to do for us.
Monday I need to make some phone calls and light some fire under some workers I need to come out. I sure wish it only took one call to get someone to come do a job for me. Still waiting to hear from the electrician as to when they can come. I haven’t heard from Evergy about the tree limb I reported was hanging over the utility line. I don’t know if they just show up and deal with it or if they are to get back to me. I still need to the plumber to come to this house and fix the leaking booster pump as well as do an inspection at the other house. The internet people were called again Thursday and they were to have called us back Friday and didn’t so I need to call them again. I can’t seem to get things crossed off my pending list.
Monday I also need to call the tile guy and have him give me an estimate to put in a back splash in the new property and to look at our master shower. There is a water mark all around the bottom of the shower so I think the seal is leaking water behind the tile. There always seems to be something that needs replaced or repaired around here.
The door guy is coming Monday early afternoon to CWF to fix the door that blew off the metal garage at the new property. They ordered the creek for the screen door but that usually takes a week or more to come in so he will have to come back to fix that.
Our guest will be arriving sometime Monday early evening. It will be fun to have company for two nights. We both enjoy visiting with him and it will be good to catch up with him. Last time he came I was sick and didn’t get to visit with him much. That was the start of my C-Diff experience. So glad that episode is behind me now.
There is a full moon tomorrow night. It is clean tonight and the moon looks all but full. It is casting beautiful moon shadows on the prairie tonight.
Grateful to have gotten a bit of painting done today, grateful for what progress is being made at the new house, and grateful for beautiful moon shadows on the prairie tonight.
