Then I went back downstairs and finished reading the paper, but before I finished again, Toni called again and wanted to know if Kathleen could take her to a doctor's appointment, so I went upstairs and wake Kathleen up again. This time Kathleen got up and got ready to get Toni and take her to the doctor's office.
Shortly after she left I took off to go to Home Depot. When I tried to start my Jeep all I got was the good old dead battery clicking. So I got out pushed the Jeep out of the garage a little so that I could get to the hood and then I hooked up my jump starter to the battery and started the Jeep.
I let it run a little while I put the jump starter away and then went to Home Depot. While I was there I bumped into Stan, he was buying some things for himself. He called the house, but no one was home, Kathleen was with Toni and I was probably trying to get my Jeep started. The battery does not stay charged because I do not drive it enough.
I have only put 100 miles on it since the first of July and I have not driven it for three or so weeks and that was only for a couple miles, so making two trips to Home Depot today helped charge up the battery a little...at least I hope so.
Anyway, I got what I had on my list and Stan was right in front of me at the checkout so he said that as soon as he got home he would head to mine. So when I got home I unloaded the stuff I got at Home Depot and then changed into my work clothes.
Once we started we realized that I needed a couple other things, hence the second trip to Home Depot. After getting back the second time and changing into my work clothes again we started to install the ceiling light fixture and the heater/fan/light/night light fixture, but before we did that we needed to fix some things to make everything work properly.
I suggested that we pre-wire the fan/light/heater/night light fixture before we tried to hang it as it would be easier to do it on the ground then after it was mounted. Once we got the fixtures mounted we measured for the dry wall. But like most everything in this house, nothing was square, parallel or plumb, so we had to shim and scab boards onto the existing ones.
Kathleen came home after finishing up with Toni and then called to see how Alyssa was doing and it turns out Andrea was not feeling well either. So we kind of traced the problem to some food that they ate at Ikea. Kathleen called them to let them know as that was the only food that both girls had in common, and the doctor’s office had said that it was from something that Toni had eaten.
Well, even thought we did everything we could the dry wall still did not fit, so we had to do a little on site trimming. We finally got it up and did a few other things and by this time it was 1730 and Stan needed to leave.
So tomorrow morning I will have to clean up the mess, I am just too tired tonight, and then we can get ready to put the fiber board down. I am not sure what else Stan has in mind to do, but he has to finish up another job first thing in the morning, so that will give me an opportunity to get some of that work done.
Kathleen had bought a frozen lasagna dinner last night that she cooked for dinner tonight along with some apple sauce. I know that I was hungry, as I had not had any lunch, but the lasagna really tasted good. Well as I said earlier, I am really tired, so I think that I am just going to say good night.
