Low Key Easter Weekend Recap
Y'all it almost happened. It seemed like it was almost a perfect carpet install. Then the dude grabbed a broom and swept all of the carpet on top, swept the floor, then swept the stairs going downstairs. Thanks for taking our clean carpet and giving it a fresh layer of unknown dust and dirt all over it. Then we looked when they left and saw a gap by the baseboard on the landing we weren't happy with and I know they had to have seen it so I fear shoe molding is in our future which we hate. The final "of course?" We had a TON left. Like enough to recarpet another set of stairs easily. Uh, why are you sending someone out to measure to give us a quote and we have enough left over to carpet another set of stairs and have enough of another piece for a big strip in front of the washer and dryer. This goes well beyond the "10% waste" they have you get. (It stretches 2/3 the length of our basement) So begins the process of trying...
Yep. That about sums it up. Exciting, no? Still, I'll take it without the added burden of having to study. It has been nice in that regard.
ReplyDeleteItās been a while since Iāve checked in. Iāve been reading every day, but on my Chromebook which is set up to a different email address, and then Iām too lazy to log in on my laptop. Soā¦ Hi!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your Mr. on passing his test. I never doubted he would pass it, but itās a huge burden off his shoulders (yours too). My favorite childhood book, I really liked those little abridged books and I had a bunch I liked (Heidi, Connecticut Yankee are the first to come to mind). My own kiddo loved Pinocchio, Poky Little Puppy, and Monster at the End of the Book. I wonder what happened with your lettuce, and what you can do differently next year to make it last longer. Fresh grown lettuce in the summer would be amazing.
This āworldwide time outā has been tough on everyone, and unfortunately it has brought out the previously concealed crazy in some people. Neighbors that saw each other maybe once a week, in passing, before now are seeing each other a lot because theyāre all home and some of them are finding out they canāt stand each other. I feel for your neighbors, but you guys donāt need a ride on the drama train.
Iāve been staying busy with my annual deep clean/declutter. It feels like itās going ridiculously slowly. Iām hoping to have the upstairs done by tomorrow and be able to start on the basement on Saturday. The basement is going to be ugly but I know how much better Iāll feel when itās done.
I'm pretty sure my mailman hates me. I should put out snacks/drinks for her. I've been ordering way more than usual.
I've been thinking about you and hoping your district is taking your and your students safety into account. So glad to "see" you! I took this year as a "learning" year on the Aerogarden and glad I'll have more options for next year where annuals are concerned. Sounds like you're doing a good job on your deep clean! I wish I could say I've been as motivated!
DeleteSorry about your aerogarden. =0( That's such a disappointment. The note from your driver had to brighten you day though! We got one like that from our UPS guy this week as we have a big note on the cooler with a message for all of them. The hubs had a big grin on his face when he brought it in. The scallops looked good with how you got them to work. I cut the lawn on Tuesday and it took 1 hour 20 minutes and I re-injured the back of my knee, so that has sucked. It's an ongoing issue so I'm doing all the things I need to do for it but hobbling is the norm now. I was going to go to the grocery store today but I can't do it with this knee, so I'll be indoors today. Was very busy yesterday so I didn't get in any sleep after work so I ended up being awake for 24 hours before conking out at 6pm last night. So more napping will probably happen later today too as I'm still quite tired. Super hot and sticky here this whole week. Blech.
