I was so excited when I went into town to paint this afternoon. My handyman had cleaned out the back porch. Wow! What a difference that made to that room. I feel like we made huge progress. He was working on the bathroom while I was there and it is looking much better already too. He is going to work all day tomorrow. I can’t wait to go back tomorrow afternoon and see what he has gotten done. The project feels possible to get done now.
I painted for a little over an hour. Got all but one set of cabinets first coat done. Did a second coat on some of the cabinet doors. The kitchen is looking a lot better with the cabinets painted.
My guest that stayed with us for two nights sent me a text mid-afternoon to see if he could stay one more night. He joined us for dinner tonight again and will leave for home tomorrow. He had to finish up a job in Emporia tomorrow morning. It was nice to have him join us for dinner again. Jim has really enjoyed visiting with him.
I fixed salmon for my guest and me and fish sticks for Jim. We also had tator tots and sweet potato fries. I fixed a dozen hard boiled eggs and made deviled eggs out of them so had them for dinner too. Trying to use up eggs.
I have a hot line shift tonight. I took a nap before I went to go to paint so will be able to stay awake to work it tonight. I checked earlier and they were getting busy already so am expecting another busy night.
Jim and I went into Emporia after I got home from painting. I had baked some peanut butter cookies last night. So we delivered cookies to Jason and Michelle’s houses. I got to see both Jason and Tagen for a hot minute today. We stopped at Fanestil’s on our way out of town and got some bacon for me and a box of bacon for Nicole and Geoff. I also got some turkey and party time ham. It was an expensive stop but they sure have good products.
Tomorrow I plan on painting some more again. Jim teaches his class from 1:00 – 2:30 so will need to be around here for that in case he runs into trouble. I’ll have to plan my nap around his class. Hoping I can get into town before his class and get my painting done early. Then when his class is over I can take a nap so I can stay up and do my hot line work tomorrow night.
Friday I will need to go into Emporia and buy groceries for our Easter feast. I will start baking pies and doing some other prep work for the dinner on Saturday. I am so excited the kids will be here.
I need to remember to give the dogs and cats their flea and tic medication tomorrow. The dogs will also get their heart guard. Fleas and tics will be out and looking for warm bodies soon.
I doubt if I get in to work on the rental property this weekend. I need to clean this house and do the prep work for the dinner on Friday and Saturday. Next week is pretty open so will have time to get back at it next week.
Grateful the handyman got started and did such a good job, grateful I got a bit more painting done today, and grateful I got to see both Jason and Tagen for a hot minute today.
