When I went to the side of the house to put the rose clippings and weeds into the yard debris barrel I noticed the mailman down the street so I went out front and waited for him to get close and then went to meet him a couple housed down.
There was not much of anything there; about the only thing worth keeping was the checking account statement from our bank, so I put that in my office to reconcile later. Then I went upstairs and finished screwing the new plywood to the old plywood so that when Stan got here we could get started laying the pad and then the flooring.
While I was doing that Tami dropped the girls off so that we could watch them while she went to the dentist as Aaron was up in the air flying. Shortly after the girls got here I finished the floor. I would have been able to finish it sooner but I had to stop and stand up because my back was really getting sore.
I had gotten some new knee pads that are filled with gel and boy they were really comfortable; or as least as comfortable as knee pads can be. Usually whenever I have to do something on my knees like that my knees get so sore that they hurt more than my back, but these new pads really made it bearable.
Tami came back and we talked for a while, while Kathleen and the girls made some clay jewelry. After a while Tami had to take the girls to the dentist and after they finished there they were going to go to Troutdale airport and wait for Aaron to land.
After they left I made myself some lunch and then went out and mowed the front lawn. I felt good energy wise but my nose has been running all day and I have not stopped coughing so I though that I better not make my allergies any worse than they already were.
This is the most frustrating thing as I feel better energy wise although after I finished screwing down the plywood I was pretty tire, but after resting for a while I felt better again.
Stan never made it here today; he had said yesterday that he thought that he would be here early afternoon but that he had to finish up a job before Friday. So he must have had more problems with it than he expected.
Today was really a nice day out in the upper seventies and not much wind but I feel miserable as I have to spend my time inside because my allergies are going full speed ahead. I have been using the nasal and throat spray that my doctor prescribe but they have not helped much; but then they were more for bronchitis and not necessarily for allergies.
Well, Kathleen just got back from her weekly visit with one of the women from church so I guess I will put this to bed for the night as I doubt that I will get anything else done today.
