Another day of doing taxes. Only did 7 returns today. We ran out of clients around 2:00 so I left early. I needed to pick up a few groceries and other stuff at Walmart so did that before I came home.
Jim painted the master bedroom closet today and added a shelf. He got rid of things off the floor of the closet and made a bit more room for my stuff. He has trouble letting go of things so I am proud of him for doing so today.
He is at choir practice tonight so I have a quiet evening at home alone. I think it is good for both of us to have some private time apart. I have soft classical music playing in the background and am decompressing from the whirl wind of life. I forget to stop sometimes and “be”.
Tomorrow I will get back to painting the kitchen. I was tired tonight when I got home and I don’t like to paint when I am tired. We have a concert to go to tomorrow night so will need to stop late afternoon and clean up for the concert. Jim has a meeting at 5:30 so we may have to catch a quick bite to eat somewhere before the concert.
We need to go pick out the new flooring for the kitchen floor tomorrow. It will be so nice to get that installed. The old stuff is in really bad shape. The new floor will transform the kitchen.
I cleaned out Jim’s utensil drawer today. I didn’t throw anything away but took out stuff I haven’t seen used since I have been with him. I put the extra stuff in a bag and put it behind some stuff in the kitchen cabinet. I’ll see if he misses anything. Sure is easier to find what I need when the drawer isn’t so full.
Friday we don’t have any plans so am hoping we will make more progress on the kitchen. Saturday a friend of Jim’s is hosting a brunch to celebrate our wedding. That should be fun!
We have so much work we would like to get done before the wedding. Hopefully this weekend we can kick into high gear and make some noticeable progress. We seem to work in spurts and have trouble sticking with it. Jim project hops and starts new projects before finishing the one he first started. It all needs to get done so guess it doesn’t matter what order we do things in. So much of what needs done he has to do.
It is almost time to send reminders to the photographer, cake baker and florist to make sure they are lined up for the wedding. Four and one-half weeks to go! Wow! It will be here before I know it.
It was 55 for the high today and is only going to be 42 tomorrow for the high. It will warm back up this weekend into the upper 50’s. I am so ready for spring and warm temperatures. It is to snow again on the prairie tonight. Can’t say I am sorry to miss that.
Working on making the big ice cubes for the punch. Can’t quite figure them out. I am putting raspberries in the cubes. The first batch the raspberries sunk to the bottom and in the second batch they rose to the top. The batch freezing now I filled half full with water and put in the raspberries and will top them with more water after the bottom half freezes. Maybe I can get the little buggers to stay in the middle of the cube like I want.
Grateful I have taxes to do as it makes me feel useful and in service to others, grateful for a quiet evening at home alone, and grateful the master bedroom closet is freshly painted and cleaned out.
