Well, it’s Saturday evening and it the time when Ted and I would be eating dinner in one of our favorite places in Ocean City. Sometimes, I just can’t comprehend how all this has happened.
Danny doesn’t know it is Saturday. He was ready to go out at 5am. I took him to the fireplug, then came back in, and went to bed. When the sun came up, I got up and had my coffee. I did some work for DDH, some Nature Club work, and then I sewed my curtains and hung them up. I started to finish some other sewing but Danny wanted attention and he wanted to go for his walk.
When we got back, I unloaded the dishwasher, had some breakfast and went out to cut the grass. It must have been contagious as my neighbors on both sides came out to cut their lawns. I rested awhile, had some lunch and then went to work taping and clearing the way for me to paint the kitchen. I got that job done and used the extra paint in the tray to touch up the molding in the laundry room. The paint is dry but I’ll wait until tomorrow to put the border on. The flat white does a nice job hiding the patches of plaster. It really makes the dark wood cabinets stand out. I don’t have a before photo so I’ll have to take one of the after.
I cleaned the fish tank last night, as it was too hot to cut the grass then. I added more water and waited overnight for the filter to clean out the stuff floating around in the water. I changed the filter this morning. It looks nice and clean. “Sticky”, our placo, was moving around quite a bit. I usually have to give him a little poke to make sure he’s still alive. Most placos grow very fast and I have to take them back to the store to exchange for a smaller one. This one doesn’t move very much. I don’t know if he eats much so he hasn’t grown very fast. I think I’ve had him over a year. He is a lot bigger than when we got him but he’s not ready to be traded in yet.
I have to do one more job then I’ll call it a day. There is plaster dust all over everything and I need to wipe down the stairs. I haven’t had time to do that yet. I better get moving.
