Busy Saturday

I tried to sleep in Saturday morning, but it only worked until 7:00 AM. Decided to forego breakfast and coffee and get to work. Put on the next coat of paint in the laundry area. Let it dry while I investigated the downstairs bathroom sink. I also called my daughter Melissa and wished her Happy Birthday. She sounded awful (she has that cold/upper respiratory infection thingie that I had a while back) which is problematic as her birthday present from her husband was a plane ticket to North Carolina to visit their grandson. She's got to get better quick!!!

Showered and shaved, then left for Lowes. Picked up some appliance white paint (top of the dryer is looking a little worn), a pedestal sink I saw that was cheap ($39.00 US!) and a bathroom faucet that was not. Also picked up some clothesline (to secure the tarp over the outdoor stuff) and a three-pack of Brita pitcher filters (after this week's brown water, I've decide to go back to filtering my drinking water - some day I'll install a built-in, under-the-sink one, but for now, this will work)

It was around 11:30 AM when I left Lowes, so bought two polish sausages and a bottle of water from the hot dog girl at the exit for my breakfast/lunch. Took Newburgh to Hines Drive and drove through the park on my way home. Still a lot of beautiful, blazing-color trees, but they are falling/fading fast. Saw a lot of couples (old and young) jogging and thought how much I would like to be able to run again...

Got home and dragged in all my stuff. Changed clothes and put another coat of paint on. Then I disconnected the brown sink and took it off the wall. Thank God for that drill Jake bought me, because each hanger had three huge wood screws in it. I still be unscrewing if it wasn't for that drill!

As I suspected, the wall behind the sink was not painted (which is why I wanted to get this done while I had white paint open - I really, REALLY hate painting!) so, put a coat of paint on it. Now its after 4:00 PM and I am beat. So, went and took a nap for an hour or so.

Back to work. Took the film off the top window pane over the wash tub. Nice! Lets in more light and lets you see the back yard, yet, you would have to be 8 feet tall to look in from outside.
Put on the last coat of paint in the laundry and the second in the bathroom.

Started putting the laundry room back together, gathering up tools, etc. Kept checking out my work and decided, yeah, it took way too long, but its worth it! Painted the last coat in the bathroom, then cleaned up all the painting stuff (lol! Had to clean me up as well - I paint messy!)

It was now after 9:00 PM, so I popped in a frozen four-cheese pizza and settled in to watch the World Series (we lost the first game). When it was done, so was I and turned out the lights to sleep.
