A Not so Productive Weekend

Yesterday I felt worse than I had, but we needed to get the downstairs bathroom primed, so I put on my painting shorts, shirt and put some over the calf athletic socks on over my compression socks and got out the Kilz primer. I started doing the corners of the ceiling and wall and also the corners of the walls using a brush.

I also painted around all the electric boxes and plumbing with the brush and then went to a roller to paint the large areas. I realized that I had gotten more tired than I should have and let Kathleen finish up. I had to go sit down and rest for a while as I really was not feeling well and having trouble breathing from my sinuses being stuffed up.

I heated up some of the left-over chicken and barley soup from the night before for dinner and as usual the chicken soup made me feel a little better, but not well enough h to blog anything last night. I took a really long hot shower before going to bed, I usually do not take hot showers but I thought that the extra heat and steam might help my sinuses.

This morning I woke up around 0800 which is several hours after I normally wake up and I still did not feel as rested as I should have after that much sleep. Once up I knew that I would not be going to church as my throat was still pretty sore.

Kathleen got up around 1000 and so she did not make it either. We were suppose to go to some friends for dinner around 1130 but Kathleen thought that it was 1230; finally around noon they called and so Kathleen took off.

I stayed home as I did not want to make my throat any sorer by talking and by this time I had started coughing again. I dozed in my chair for a while as I just could not keep my eyes open and when I got up I decided to wash the towels.

Kathleen had made a pineapple upside down cake to take over to our friends house, but since it was still in the oven when she left I took it out and let it cool and then put a plate over it and turned it over so that if Kathleen decided to come home and get it, it would be ready for her; but she did not come back.

I was a little restless so I took up the rugs in the kitchen, shook them out and then swept and mopped the floor. When the floor dried I put the rugs back down and then took the towels out of the drier, folded them and put them away.

By this time it was 1430 and I was getting hungry so I opened up a can of hash and added some Lea and Perrins' Worcestershire sauce to it. I usually add a little ketchup to it, but we were low on ketchup so I thought that I would try the Lea and Perrins' and it was pretty good, it added a different flavor but I liked it.

Kathleen came home around 1600 and had a good time; by the time she got back I was feeling better, but that probably had something to do with not having to talk for several hours and resting my throat.

Well, it has been a pretty unproductive weekend, I got a few things done, but not as much as I would have liked to. Since I cannot think of anything else I think I will call this good enough and publish it.
