Windy Wednesday

Stan called again this morning and said that he was running late and that he was on his way to Home Depot to pick up another bag of mud mix. So I decided to vacuum the living room and the entry way as that is where most of the fir needles land.


Then since it was a pretty nice day, I went out and swept off the front porch to get rid of the fir needles there. After I finished that, I got out my blower, the first time I had used it since my fall a couple of weeks ago, and blow off the sidewalk.

Once I finished the sidewalk, I decided to do the driveway as well. This time I was really aware of where I was when I was winding up the electric cord. Stan still was not here so I decided to do some pruning in the back yard.

Stan came as I was cutting up some of the branches I had cut, so when I finished cutting up the few branches that I had left, I helped Stan unload some of his tools. After he mixed up the mud we went upstairs to see what we needed to do, he also needed to let the mud set for ten minutes or so.

Once the mud had set up, Stan marked up a few tiles for me to cut while he put up some more full tiles. We finished the wall by the door and behind where the toilet goes and then started on the short wall between the shower and the vanity.

We finished that wall and continued along that wall up to the wall behind the sink. Stan needed to go across town and pick up something for another customer, so he had to stop and clean everything up to get there before the place closed.

I helped clean up the tile saw and gathered up the tools. Since it was getting late, Stan took off, so I stacked all the tool boxes on the porch and took apart the tile saw and put it there as well. Stan said that he would be back when he picked it up and delivered it to the customer.

Now I get four days off to try to get some yard work done. Right now I am looking forward to getting back to my schedule instead of working around Stan's schedule. I fell asleep in my chair tonight before dinner, so I kind of know that I over did a little.

Well, my wrist is telling me that I have keyboarded enough tonight. I think that I will say Happy Thanksgiving and good night!

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you have a great day.

We are going out to eat as I am just too exhausted to spend the entire day in the kitchen this year. The kids suggested it, and I did not argue with them.

I hope your wrist is improving every day!

Love to all,
Sue

Eating out is a good thing especially when one is working all the time. Give our love to your children, tell Bill hi and give Mom a hug from us!

Enjoy today!
