- Note to self – Deep clean the bathroom after giving the dogs a bath.
- Last weekend it was thunderstorms, thunderstorm, floods, and black ice. Now, it’s so nice and warm outside that I’ve shut off the furnace and opened the windows. It’ll probably be cold and miserable in a week or so.
- Welcome to ‘spring’ in Kentucky.
- My arthritis and seasonal allergies are both just overjoyed at this swing.
- Looking at how things are back home, I really shouldn’t complain. North Dakota had lows in the negative 30’s last week, and will have highs in the positive 60’s this week. That’s a 90 degree swing in just a few days.
- Well, the job search has swung into gear. Checking job boards daily, talking to a couple of contracting companies, and keeping my ear to the ground.
- The job market for cleaning the house, cooking and baking, and playing with the dogs is a bit thin these days. I’m having to branch out a bit.
- Irish Woman has been patient for almost five years, but this weekend she started painting the interior of the house. I have given my input, and the choices of light tan-gray, light green-gray, and ‘useful gray’, whatever that means, have been approved.
- I only have two color palettes – The 8 pack of Crayola Crayons and Woodland BDU.
- I did stand my ground on no oh-my-eyes-that’s-bright jewel tones nor you-can-see-this-from-orbit yellows. Blue in any shade was right out.
- She’s also making noises about removing/replacing the columns between the kitchen and living room, and keeps mumbling “wainscoting” under her breath. Pray for me.
- Note to self – Before applying furniture oil to a the liquor cabinet, make sure there’s a drop cloth under it, especially if the liquor cabinet is sitting on the living room carpet.
- Note to self – Look up how to get cherry-stained lemon oil out of carpet.
- Our old solid oak dining room chairs are getting rather long in the tooth, so I thought I’d renew the glue in the joints.
- Note to self – Check to see if the joints are pinned with nails before trying to work them loose.
- Note to self – Research a good source for replacing oak chair parts now that you’ve ripped the ends off of several leg supports.
