Had a bit of a thunderstorm roll through around 5:30 this morning. Only got .2 inches of rain but it was enough that I couldn’t paint today. Maybe tomorrow it will be dry enough. It has gotten almost cold this evening. I had to take my shorts off and put on some jeans and heavy wool socks. The house is closed up again so I can warm up. It is hard for me to find the sweet spot temperature wise.
Cleaned out the two closets in the master bedroom today. Found lots of clutter and stuff that didn’t belong in the closet. I have three sacks of stuff to take to Goodwill. Threw a bunch of other stuff out. It is nice to have order in both closets again. Carried about six loads of stuff downstairs to the storage room where the stuff belongs. One disadvantage to having too much space is I tend to get lazy and stuff things where they don’t belong instead of taking them downstairs.
Now I need to clean the room downstairs and get it organized. I have a twin mattress and box springs that I need to get rid of so I have room to move in that room. Anyone need a set? It has a headboard and foot board but no side connecting rails.
When I get done writing I want to go out and detail clean my car. It has been a long time since I did that and it needs it badly. I didn’t get the garage cleaned out today but will attempt it another day this week. It took longer to do the two closets than I anticipated it might.
Went into Ad Astra for dinner tonight. Elexa was singing and I enjoy listening to her. Remembered to take a friend her birthday present. The gift is over a month late but better late than never. I was glad to see her come in so I could give it to her. I came home early and didn’t stay for the whole set of music. I thought I wanted to be around people tonight but decided that wasn’t what I wanted after I got there.
Got the intern’s room cleaned and his sheets washed and put back on the bed. I’m not sure if he is coming back tonight or after work tomorrow. I have to ask him to do the room shuffle later this week as I had already booked his room for guests that are arriving Thursday. He can move to another room for one night and then have his room back Monday night. He knew about the scheduling conflict when he agreed to stay here. I hate to ask him pack his stuff up just for the weekend but it can’t be avoided.
Tomorrow I hope to get out and paint the rest of the swing set frame. It will involve ladder work so it can’t be too windy. So far the forecast looks like it will be a perfect day to be outside painting as the high is only going to be 77 and no high winds in the forecast at this time. Of course, I do live in KS and that can change quickly.
I have five appointments I need to schedule in the morning. Somedays making phone calls are harder for me than others so trusting tomorrow will be a day I can make calls and get them scheduled.
Tim is going to bring out his extension ladder for me to borrow tomorrow. While he is here I want him to teach me how to use the weed eater. He is good at stuff like that and is a good teacher.
The pest guy is to come tomorrow to take care of the wood bees. The bees have done some damage to my decks and need to move away. It isn’t fun being outside with them buzzing around. They don’t sting but the sound of them is annoying and they scare the grandkids.
Tuesday I will need to clean house all day to get it ready for the guests that are coming Thursday and Friday. I will be gone all day Wednesday so will need to get it taken care of Tuesday.
Jim is coming back Thursday. We are going to the Symphony Saturday together and then on Monday have a sander reserved to rent so we can get the main deck floor ready to paint. I’m not sure when he is going back home. Probably Tuesday or Wednesday next week. It will sure be nice when the deck project gets done. I couldn’t have taken on that project without his help.
Feeling a bit restless tonight. Not sure what that is from yet. I had a weird night’s sleep. I was up and down most of the night sleeping for an hour or two and then I would be awake for an hour or two. I don’t like nights like that. I did get to see an amazing sunrise this morning though. There were dark clouds to the east before dawn broke but they cleared before the sun rose.
Grateful for two clean bedroom closets tonight, grateful Tim is going to bring me a ladder tomorrow, and grateful the forecast for tomorrow is for sunny skies.
