Didn’t fall asleep until 6:00 this morning. Makes a long night when that happens. I slept until around 11:00. Makes a short day when I don’t get up until then.
The guy that is going to rebuild my back porch came over today and we talked a few more details. I am to have it emptied out by Monday. He is going to help me move the freezer and refrigerator next week. He will apply for the permit from the city and start lining up sub-contractors.
The guy that is going to pour the foundation came over today and gave us a bid. I never have any idea if the bid is in line or not. things are so high these days it is hard to tell.
We drew out a very rough draft of the floor plan. I am adding a shower and bathroom and we talked where the best place to put that is. Details are still being discussed.
I moved one of the rolling shelving units from the back into the living room. I will move another one tomorrow. I have another spot in the living room for it. One of the shelving units will have to go on the front porch. Not sure where I am going to put some of the stuff back there. Will have to put some in the shed.
Found a spot to put the dog food in the laundry room. Still need to find a place for the vacuum. In a small house there isn’t a lot of hiding places for things.
Hoping the clutter in the living room won’t drive me crazy before the room addition is done. It is what it is and I will have to learn to live with it. Sometimes the process is not easy!
Have no idea when it might get done. I’m sure it will depend on when suppliers can get here and how much time Phil can devote to it. They are going to move the electrical panel sometime next week. We also have to find another place to put the dog pen for the duration of the remodel.
It is exciting that this project is getting started. Phil is easy to work with and I usually can make quick decisions as things come up. I’m pretty flexible with the details and trust that Phil knows better than I what should happen. He has never disappointed me.
I need to spend some time looking at bathroom floor plans and give Phil some direction on how I want the bathroom laid out.
Baked a batch of peanut butter cookies for the political rally tomorrow. Still haven’t decided if I am going or not but will at least deliver the cookies. Not sure I can people tomorrow or not. I still need to clean the kitchen up from my baking mess but at least the cookies are done.
Tagen is to come over tomorrow and pick up the title to his old truck. Not sure why he needs it but he said he needed it by Monday. It will be good to see him for a hot minute. I haven’t seen him for a month or more. He is busy and spending time with Grandma isn’t at the top of his priority list these days.
No plans for next week. I will have plenty of time to reorganize things and find hiding places for them. I didn’t realize the back porch had so much stuff in it. Maybe I can find a bunch of stuff to eliminate.
Hoping to get to bed at a decent time tonight and get back on schedule. Some nights I have the hardest time falling asleep. I am tired tonight so hoping tonight is the night that I can get to sleep easily.
It was an absolutely beautiful day out today. Mid 70’s and bright blue skies. There is a smell of fall in the air. Betting we will have an early frost this year. Kathy mowed today and spent most of the day outside in her hammock.
Feeling a bit isolated again. I have done it to myself as peopling is hard for me these days. Hoping that lets up soon. Still haven’t discovered what is behind that but riding it out and allowing it to be what it is.
Grateful the back porch project has begun, grateful for what sleep I did get this morning, and grateful for this beautiful fall day.
