I went in last night and got a second coat on the dining room. Two rooms now have their second coat. I was one tired puppy when I got done.
Came home from painting last night and sat out on the deck and enjoyed the light of the full moon. It was almost as bright as daytime last night – the moon shadows were incredible and the moon was beautiful.
One of our guests came in last night after dinner. He sat out on the deck with us and visited for a while. The other two guests haven’t gotten here yet. I expected them to come in this morning. I finally heard from them this afternoon and they were on their way. Then later they said they were having dinner in town and would be out after dinner. I may be in bed before they get here. Good thing they know where their bedroom is.
I fixed a potato salad and deviled eggs this morning. Jim made some baked beans and I grilled hot dogs and we called it dinner. Our guest joined us – he didn’t seem to mind having to eat hot dogs.
After dinner Jim and I went in and painted the bathroom. It sure is looking better. It still needs a second coat and the woodwork painted. Tomorrow the handyman is going to put down the sub flooring material and maybe start laying the floor. Tomorrow night I may get to paint the laundry room. That room is looking so much better with the Sheetrock on the walls. It is amazing what a coat of paint does to a house.
I don’t like to paint when the handyman is there as I like to stay out of his way and not distract him. He is really pushing to get his part of the inside of the house done this week. He may carry over one and maybe two days next week but we are really getting close to being done.
The guy I got the refrigerator from was to have called me when he left Emporia so I could meet him at the house. He called and told me he left the refrigerator on the front porch. When Jim and I went in we moved it inside in case it rains tonight and tomorrow. The refrigerator stinks. I sure hope I can get it cleaned up as it has mold in it. I am a bit disappointed in it but will see if it will clean up. I may have to go to Plan B.
I called city hall today and got the name of a guy that might be able to haul the boat away. He was to have called me this evening when he was on his way to come check it out. I didn’t hear from him. Hope he calls me later this week. That boat is becoming a pain in the ass.
It looks like I will spend most of next week painting once the handyman is done with his part of the job. He has been putting in 8 – 10 hour days which doesn’t leave me a lot of time to paint. It still seems like I have a lot of painting to do but when I can get a second oat on a room and cross a room off the list it feels so good. Two rooms done – six to go. Then I will have to do all the woodwork. I don’t like painting woodwork but it goes fairly fast.
We have some doors that are going to need to be replaced. Anyone know of some where I can buy used doors?
I sent a message to my doctor today and they ordered labs for next Monday. I wanted to have the results of my cholesterol test when I talk to him at my appointment next Thursday. I have been having lots of legs cramps both day and night since I started taking the new mediation and the doctor is going to have to talk me into continuing taking the mediation.
We need to go to Emporia and do a big feed haul again. We need oats, chicken feed, dog food, and sunflower seeds. I think I have enough egg money to pay for it this time. That always feels good. Don’t always have enough though – I’m afraid Jim is correct when he says the chickens are a hobby and not a money making proposition.
While we are in town I need to get some different screws for the kitchen cabinet knobs. The ones that came with the knobs are too long for 10 of the cabinet doors. They were too short for 12 of the cabinet drawers. At least this time I know where the hardware store hides them.
It has been another windy day on the prairie. It was cloudy and humid today. Sure feels like we could be in for a strong thunderstorm tonight or tomorrow. I have had a headache all day today and my feet have been aching. They are good weather indicators for me.
Grateful two rooms have a second coat, grateful for the beauty of the full moon, and grateful to be headed to bed soon.
