It seems odd to be in another year.  One minute, we're in one year, and just a minute later, we're in another.
Yesterday was a rainey, dreary day.  I hate those days.  They make me ache all over, and it's so miserable to have to work outside.  We hauled off some garbage, and Steve couldn't lift some of the boxes of trash to get them into the truck.  They were so soggy.
I did a quick run-through for feeding, as the miserable weather was so off-putting.
I then worked in my Hut.  I had got a really late start to my whole day, as I'd had a hellish night the night before.  I didn't expect to get much done.
I painted the top coat on the wall above the wainescoating in the bedroom.  I tried (at first) to fill all the little holes in the acoustical tiles with paint to make it a solid green, but decided I liked the 'flecked' appearance without the holes filled, so I wint with that look.  It went much faster.
I cleaned and put away a lot of stuff, trying to get things out of the way so we could go pick up the new kitchen counter.  It's about eight feet long, and will be a nice work surface.  I think I'm going to mount it the same height as a table, so I can sit at it to work, thus eliminating the need for a table in that area.  We bought it last week, and didn't have the big truck with us, so we have to go back to get it.
I also fininshed the insulation on the ceiling in the kitchen to get it ready for the last piece of wood paneling.  Steve took down the light fixture for me, and I think I'm going with another style when we replace it.  I sealed around one more window in the living room area.  I want to get that room ready for some on-wall insulation.  I'm not too sure what I'll do in that room, though.  I'm sure I will think of something.
I worked until about 9:00, then came into the house, took a bath, and washed my hair.
I went to bed fairly early for me.
The sun is shining brightly this morning, but I don't feel like doing much.
