I'm really late posting today. Barbara was LONGING to read about my glamourous life.
I won't be posting after today for a while, as Steve and I are going to his sister's house for Christmas.
I'm really anxious about Christmas. I never feel like I've got it right or bought the right gifts for anybody. Our family used to have these elaborate dinners for Christmas, but we just can't all get together without someone getting all huffy or hurt, so we decided to discontinue it a few years ago. Now I feel like the holiday is a waste.
I needed Ambien today, so I called Barbara to tell her I was driving down to Blaine to Okie's Drug Store, and asked if she'd like to ride along to check the progress on her house repairs. Of course, she wanted to go. When we got there, there was no one around. The house was locked up tight. She got to look in the windows, at least.
We then came back to Rutledge and went to the Goodwill. She got some lovely window scarves for her livingroom windows, for when she moves back in. They're fuscia, her signature color.
Steve and I had been to Lowe's in Jefferson City earlier today, and he took me by the Habitat Store there. I bought a fabulous really long counter top with a sink already in it for the Hut. It may even be a little too long, but we can cut it down if needed. I was really glad to get it.
We ate at Kentucky Fried Chicken while we were there.
This evening, I filled all the reservoirs at the bird houses. Ronnie is going to feed the cats while we're gone.
Then I went to work in the Hut. I repainted the walls in the bedroom I had painted last night, then sanded and painted (the first coat) the other two walls. Steve had brought a gas heater up there for me to keep warm and help dry the paint, and it made me sick.
I put it in the livingroom for the duration of my time up there.
I came in about 9:00, and we had a ham sandwich for supper. I have to pack for our trip yet tonight. I like to get an early start.
Merry Christmas to all.
And to all a good night.
