I got up at 5:00 this morning as I couldn’t go back to sleep. I had slept hard for five hours which is a lot for me. I finished reading a book I had and ate breakfast.
At 11:00 I went back to bed and slept until 1:30. Grateful I got a second sleep. We are going to a concert tonight and now I won’t fall asleep during the middle of it.
After lunch I painted a second coat on the woodwork in the kitchen. Jim scrapped the doorway and I put a first coat of paint on that. I am almost done with the painting in the kitchen.
The dealer called and my Prius needed a new starter battery. They got that installed and we went and picked up the car. It drove fine. I hadn’t drove it for two months. I forgot how quiet it is when it starts. I will need to get the oil changed before I send it off with David the week of the wedding. Trusting it won’t have any more issues for a bit.
I need to get dinner underway so we can eat a bit early. I will need to take a shower and change clothes before I go to the concert. I have on old sweats and have a bit of paint on me. I am not the neatest painter in the world.
We have a free day tomorrow. Jim is working to get the cabinet doors he is making installed. He is going to take the hinges off after he makes sure they fit and tomorrow I will get them painted and ready to be permanently hung. He still has the doors under the kitchen sink cabinet and the upper doors to make but he is making progress. We may start laying flooring tomorrow or Saturday. I have a floor board I need to get painted that runs under the cabinets before we lay the flooring. Jim has to figure out the floor under the dishwasher. He wants to lay the new stuff there but the dishwasher barely fits now and he is afraid with the additional quarter inch the dishwasher won’t fit. Once he solves that problem he can go pick up the flooring and get it started.
Still working on making ice cubes for the punch for the wedding. I am over halfway done. I keep forgetting to make more. I fill the tray half full with water, let it freeze, add the raspberries and then fill the trays with water. Seems to take me two or three days to do both steps and then remember to start the process over again. The tray only makes six cubes at a time so it is taking a bit of time to get 48 made.
The renter that rents my shop in Strong City offered to take my mower to the dealer so they can get it ready for mowing season. They text me today to let me know they took it in today. I so appreciate them. It will be good to have the mower in top form when mowing season starts. It will be here soon.
Three weeks from Sunday is THE day. I got the cake baker confirmed and changed the pickup time to Saturday instead of Sunday. I will call the florist and photographer this week and double check with them. Sure can’t think of what I am forgetting to take care of but have the feeling I have forgotten something.
Made a couple more hotel room reservations. My sister and a friend are coming and Jim’s brother and family are coming. I didn’t realize when I made the first reservations that I have to be there to check people in. I think I will go to the hotel Saturday afternoon and check everyone in and then have them come to the house to get their room keys.
My foot continues to send sharp pain up the toe when I walk. I did notice though that it doesn’t do it with every step I take now like it had before. Maybe it is getting better. I sure hope it isn’t still bothering me in six weeks and I have to go back to the surgeon. I will be so grateful when my feet feel normal again although I am not sure what that will feel like.
Grateful for second sleeps even when they happen hours after the first one, grateful the Prius is back up and running, and grateful progress continues to be made in the kitchen.
