EXCITED ... JUST A LITTLE BIT

 

I'm feeling really excited to think that by the end of today we MIGHT be able to start putting the lounge/dining/kitchen areas back to 'normal'.

Jonny has one more top coat to put on the walls in here, and it will dry really quickly.  So, once Stew gets  home from work tonight we can sort out the rooms.

WHOOP!!  I am so eager to get it back how it should be.  I don't 'do' this sort of chaos too well.

Stew told me last night he thinks we should get a new Toilet.  The one here is OLD and LOW. It wasn't on our 'do now' list, but with Stew getting his knee replaced soon, it's not a bad idea.  Using a higher toilet will make his recovery easier.

So, I've contacted a plumber, and hopefully I hear back from him today.

First up for now... get the housework done, then do a small grocery shop.  And get some cable ties ... they are to secure the dining room cabinet to the wall.  We had to cut the other ones when we moved the cabinet away from the wall.  

ONWARD...

ABOVE:

I have formulated a new plan for my morning.  I've managed to get together all I need to go down to the craft room and do some piecing together of braid runners. I have to use BABY Brother, cos I can't get to Mc 2'ie at all. But that's ok, BABY is perfectly capable of doing piecing.

I'll do the grocery shop etc this afternoon.  

Yaaaa, something productive to do.

2.03 pm.  I've just come home from the craft room.

Jonny is finishing up for the day, these rooms are done!  We can put the furniture back tonight and tomorrow I can work on getting everything back in the cabinets, and on the walls.

ABOVE:  I got both these Braid Runners pieced together today.  I'll get back to finishing them probably next week.  We have a busy few days ahead of us now, no time to sew.

It did feel awesome sewing today ... I had missed it.  

Well, I went out and got the cable ties we need, crazy traffic out there, bang on end of school time.  

Lacy has a hurt hand, possibly a broken finger?  I told her to get to the Drs.

So as a consequence, she couldn't come and help with the furniture this evening.

ABOVE: Luckily, Steve and Bex stepped in and came over instead.   They did all the heavy moving  and placement.  Such a relief as my back is killing me, and so is Stew's.  Clearly we are showing our age a bit.  

It catches up with everyone, IF you are lucky.  Some people never get to be old.  I am thankful for every year I get, I'm well aware of those in my family who passed away too young.  (and well, that wasn't what I was intending to yabber about! 😖😐)

ABOVE:  Most of the larger things are back in place, and Stew is working on the shelves in the kitchen and dining 'rooms'.

Tomorrow I will potter around, putting all the ornaments/paintings etc back in place.

It is now 7.20 pm, and I am done for the day.  I certainly can tell I sewed for 5 hours today, in a bloody uncomfortable chair to boot.

Time to sign off for the day, catch ya tomorrow.
