Well, Steve went to buy himself a larger monitor for his computer, and he just said that he wants to see how 'Halo' shows up on his new monitor. I guess I'll see him on Tuesday. Off and runnin'.
Yesterday was an alright day. Nothing exciting seems to be happening lately.
We went to The Down Home for lunch. They had ribs, and they were delicious! I'm not normally a rib person (unless it's prime!), but these were so good.
We took two vehicles, as I knew Steve would not want to linger and do other things while in town. It seems like we're doing more and more things seperately.
After lunch, I had some errands to do. I had taken along some Christmas decorations to give to Chris Mannus, and I got to visit with her and Karen McNish for a while. Karen is fitting into her new job there nicley. It's less money for her, but she's a true 'people person', so she will do a lot of good, and Chris loves her. She had been at the Road Department for twenty years, until she was fired by the new Superintendent. He put his daughter in Karen's old place.
I also took some money to Betty Mills, as she's unable to pay her rent this month. She's having a real hard time. I don't mind helping her a bit. She's such a nice lady, and works so hard.
I went by the Goodwill, and got a few toys for my bird houses.
Renae was not there, but I got to visit with Carselle for a while.
I then came home and got the second shift started.
Steve had already fed for me, so I went up to the Hut to work.
Before Steve went to get his new computer monitor, I asked him to cut the window hole for me in the bathroom wall. He had mounted the plywood over the hole the night before (I thought) to keep the cold out for the night. He said yesterday that he'c just as soon leave the window covered. Yeah, RIGHT! In the Hobby Hut of a woman who loves light. That went over like a ton of bricks. He then started to cut the hole, and cut it on the wrong side, which is where wall area will be. I'll just have to cover it with some imaginative trim, as that's all of that type of plywood I have, and I'm not going to Lowe's to get more.
He left then, and I worked alone until he got back. I primed the walls in the bedroom (which is where we're going to put the tanning bed), and the bathroom above the vanity. I also took off the storm window he had put on the front window of the bedroom, and put some window trim on, and painted it. It should be pretty dry by this morning, and ready to put the storm window back on before the severe cold gets here this week-end.
I wish I had some ready to go on the windows in the house!
After supper (at 8:00), Steve got busy with his new computer junk, and I took the Flokati off the bathroom floor, padded it, and put the heating rug down on it.
Steve didn't even know where I was all of this time. That Flokati is really heavy, and it took me over an hour to get the heating pad down and the rug put back.
I also got some floor puzzles down out of the guest room where I had them stored, and cut pieces for where some small pieces had been lost. They are these large padded floor puzzles of the alphabet that children play with, but I'm going to put them on the ceiling of the bathroom in the Hut. They will be good insulation, and they are so cute! They will be quite the conversation piece!
I was tired, and got a quick bath and got to bed. I didn't sleep well, though.
Betty Pike e-mailed me to tell me that they've not let her into the site that those mean people have made about the 2X2'ers, as they call them.
I had written a reply to a post on that site, and wanted Betty to see it. I wound up getting Steve to copy and paste it and sent it to her in an e-mail format. They won't let you forward their material.
She wrote this morning to say that she LOVED my reply. Boy, I'm doing pretty good if I can get Betty Pike's approval.
It's heavily overcast, and I'm going to put the laundry on a drying rack in the bathroom. I'll have to get all my choring done before the bad weather.
