I Have A Confession To Make….
…about why this is being posted so late. I’m almost embarrassed to admit it but Bratfink and I were playing bingo on this one new site we are playing on. We were having such luck and such fun that I said, *The hell with it! It’ll get done when it gets done!* Bratfink was shocked at first and then she laughed. So that’s my confession and I won’t apologize since I wasn’t able to play on my computer all day due to the painting being done in my computer room.
The Beast knew better than to totally disconnect it because I might have committed homicide with HIM as the victim…LOL. I can’t go too awful long without my computer.
As of now, the room is almost finished as far as painting goes. There are just a few touchups that need to be done but we had to let the paint dry to make sure to get them all. I still have my lavender walls (Chewlee calls it purple…one of her favorite colors and I think what she likes about this room). The ceiling and trim is white, of course and the doors into the room as well as the closet doors. Tomorrow they come to measure the room for the carpeting we ordered since we are total idiots and can’t measure a room or read a measuring tape. We don’t know what day they will come to install the carpeting but it will probably be Monday or Tuesday.
Since the room is almost empty already (we just have my desk, computer and recliner to get out of here), that makes it easy for them to install it and no extra cost to us. There WAS a lot of stuff in here. Oh, and we have to empty the closet but we will put most of the stuff in the cottage, out of the way.
I’ve moved the clothing but have to take all the comforters and pillows off the shelves and god knows what else is up there. I think a box of old checks and papers from the business which should be shredded and thrown away. Unfortunately, the Beast threw away my shredder and I told him that the checks and papers really shouldn’t be just thrown in the garbage. We should see if we can borrow our neighbors burn barrel and have a fire one evening. :laughing:
Chewlee did fantastic on all her tests last week. She had more than just a spelling test I hear. She got A+’s on everything. And her behavior is slowly but surely improving over last year. She still has a few issues and she has learned that she can read much better than she thought she could. She wants to be able to read a couple of the books I have here by Anne Murray (the Dragon Rider series) and the Harry Potter books, too. She ambitious, as you can tell.
The Beast still isn’t feeling well but he is so mule-headed. He just MUST accomplish tasks he feels need to be done (and my computer room really DID need doing now that I have quit smoking). But he pays a heavy price for that effort and it WILL take a toll on him. But it makes him feel good to get it done so who am I to argue with him?
I suppose you all have been suffering along with us with the hot weather (and some areas have really been hit by heavy rains). I just hope it hasn’t been too awful bad for you all. We limit our ventures outside to early in the day and then in the evenings. It’s not too bad that way.
I’m going to Grandparent’s Day at Chewlee’s school tomorrow. IF Krys remembers to drop off my ticket to get in the door. I don’t even know her teachers name! It will be so disappointing to her if I can’t get in since security is tight at schools these days. We’ll see what happens. I have to go around 1pm I believe and then Chewlee gets to go home with me afterward if she wants. Ha! Ha! She knows I have pickles and pushups here.
Love you all. Hope you had a great week and an even better weekend. Be good but have some fun! :winky:
