Still Tired even After a Weekend when I did not get much done.

Well, while Kathleen was celebrating Tami's birthday yesterday I got tired of sitting around so I got out a couple of my pry bars and went into the downstairs bathroom and started pulling off the wood paneling from the wall where the sink and toilet is. I did not get all of it taken out because I did not want to take the toilet tank off or the vanity top off just yet.

I did get about twenty boards off, it is really pretty nice wood; tongue and groove, but I threw it all away as it had been treated with some kind of varnish and since I did not know what it was I did not think it would be good to use as fire wood.

I also resisted storing it because I might need it someday; I have been trying to turn over a new leaf and actually throw things away instead of hording them for some time in the future as I am learning that they usually take up more space than they are worth and then when I do need something I either cannot find it or it is not usable for what I need.

Anyway as much as it hurt I broke it up and threw it away; but underneath the wood was some metal tile, some of it had some contact paper on it that had a "velvet" design on it. It was kind of a turquoise color with a darker green "velvet floral (?)" design on it...really lovely! Here are a few pictures of what I am talking about:






That pretty much did me in so after making myself something to eat I took a shower and was in bed by 2100.

Today I woke up with my back and hip hurting, so I am not sure if it was something that I did or what but I did not make it to church this morning. I kind of sat around most of the morning and then finally around 1300 I went out and raked the front lawn. While I was out there I weeded a little in the gardens in front of the living room and then moved some of the stepping blocks that I have off the front porch so that I can get to the outdoor water faucet without getting full of dirt or mud.

By this time I was getting a little tired so I went inside, cleaned up and heated up the plate that Kathleen brought home for me from Andrea's for Tami's party. Then I got out the laptop and updated it and ran a virus scan to make sure that nothing was there that I did not want. I also ran a spy ware check to clean up any spy ware that I might have picked up, there was only one that was found so I cleaned it out.

I had done the same with my desktop computer earlier in the day. Right now I am doing a defrag on it to see if I can open up more space on my hard drive.

Well, I am starting to get hungry so I think that I will post this and see if I can get Kathleen to fix something for dinner.
