Took my car to get its oil changed at 10:00 this morning. It was cold and raining so I sat and waited for them to do the change. I then went over to the new property and painted for a while. I got most of the lower cabinets finished. I’ll need to get Jim over to the house to take the upper cabinet doors off so I can get started on the upper set of cabinets.
Jim taught his class this afternoon. He has two more classes in this series left to do. We were trying to decide how many hours it takes him to put together one class. He started reading and taking notes for it way back in December. He starts teaching another class sometime coming up in April. This class he has taught before so just needs to clean up his notes. He has less time than he usually does to teach this class so will have to cut things out which is hard for him to do.
I saw a post on the local buy sell or trade site that someone was looking for a wireless pet containment system. I had one that I don’t use and the three collars that went with it so sold those. The lady came and picked them up this afternoon. Good to have another box of stuff I don’t use out of the house.
We both took a long nap this afternoon when his class was over. The last week or so has felt busy and neither one of us are used to that any more. Dinner was a bit late tonight as we slept longer than I had wanted to. I had put some green chicken in the crock pot earlier this afternoon so just had to make Jim some potatoes and heat up some veggies and dinner was ready. Saved by a crock pot meal again.
Last night I worked on the crisis hot line but the system Gremlins were hanging around. I lost two convos and gave up for a bit. When I got back on an hour later the Gremlins had quieted down and the system worked as it should. I handled six texters all together. None of them were imminent risk but several were high risk. Most did not seem to want to problem solve and just needed someone to vent too. I have another shift tonight.
I need to go to Emporia tomorrow to get a key made for the handyman and I need another gallon of the kitchen cabinet paint. That is the paint that I dumped most of the first gallon on the ground when it fell out of my car. While I am at the hardware store I want to look at cabinet hardware and decide what I want. I also want to look at backsplash tile and see if I can find something that isn’t too expensive that would look good. I may look to see if I can find some paint for the dining room and living room. I also need a taller ladder so painting the rooms will be a bit easier for me. Sounds like I may be in the hardware store for a bit. Yuck! I hate shopping.
I’m grateful my calendar is rather empty for the next week or so. Hoping to get lots of painting done. I need to see some real progress made at the new house. We will have had procession of the house a month tomorrow and we are behind schedule.
The girls gave us 24 eggs today. I now have 10 dozen eggs in the refrigerator. My they pile up quickly. The girls got a treat of sprouted wheat berries today. They love it when I bring a fresh pan down to them. It disappears very quickly.
Grateful the extra wireless containment system found a new home, grateful for rainy day naps, and grateful for crock pot dinners.
