Went into Emporia after I got chores done and ate breakfast this morning. Picked up a gallon of woodwork paint and headed to the rental house. Painted for about two hours and then came home for lunch.
Ellexia texted me and wanted to come out for the day. Tim brought her out and we had a great day together. She went with me to the rental house this afternoon and helped me paint. She did a great job. We baked Snickerdoodles after we were done painting. She was so good. I really enjoyed being with her today.
Jim got home around 6:30. We grilled chicken for dinner and had baked potatoes and green beans with it. Ellexia had hot dogs. We took her home around 8:45 tonight.
I didn’t get as much painting done as I planned today but had more fun playing with Ellexia. I’ll get to the painting tomorrow.
I’m tired tonight as I didn’t get a nap and I didn’t sleep very well last night. Maybe it will rain tonight and be a good night to sleep. The lightening to the north east is coming fast and furious tonight. It is too far away to hear the thunder. I just checked radar and our chances for rain aren’t looking very good right now. It may expand a bit and we will get some later.
Tomorrow I need to mow this yard again. I also want to get into town and get the master bedroom finished up. I think I can get it completed tomorrow if I can spend a couple hours painting. The other bedroom will take a bit longer as it still needs first coat on walls and woodwork.
Jim is planning on going back to Stillwater next week on Tuesday and staying until Saturday. He has so much work to do on his house and needs to spend some time getting it done. I will be busy painting so it is a good time for him to go south.
It reached 85 on the prairie today. Not sure I was ready for summer like temperatures after having to run the furnace last night. Gotta love the ever changing KS weather.
It was good to see Jim come home today. He and Ellexia had a good time for a bit this evening. Not sure which is the bigger kid. They taught each other some tricks.
No plans for tomorrow other than mowing and painting. I don’t have anything on my calendar for next week so will have lots of time to paint. Hoping I find some time to get this house cleaned. It is starting to bug me it is so dirty. Funny had dirt patiently waits for me to get to it. Wish it would get bored and move on out on its own.
Grateful Jim had a safe trip home, grateful Ellexia came out to play for the afternoon, and grateful for what painting I did get done today.
