Good morning and how do on this fan-friggin-tastic Friday? We had a good start to the week because we were gone! It was retreat time and since we skipped it last year because of Mom's passing, we were in desperate need of one. As many of you know, we do a marriage retreat yearly since 2018 when things were, well, dicey. The books we had for this year's retreat was In Each Other's Care by Stan Tatkin and another one that was so beh that I won't even list it. I will give a formal retreat recap but suffice it to say, with all of the stress we've had on every level over the past lifetime year, we needed to let the grey matter decompress. Did it happen? You're not new here.

I originally intended to, as the Mr would say, go full bore into the stair project. However, the railing that I thought I had triumphantly conquered prior to our departure decided to shit the bed when poly was applied. I am going with plan C, formulating a sketchy plan D and I don't even want to THINK about plan E because I will figuratively burn it down before I shellac 4x and paint the rails the white that I spent 2 full days stripping off of them over the past year. Any goodwill retreat vibes...gone. 😣
What do you have planned this fine weekend?

I wish I was of more help regarding the stain on the stair railing but I've literally only stained one thing in my life and that was in high school for a shop project. Come to think of it I'm amazed I didn't burn the house down because I am sure I never knew you had to properly dispose of rags with oil based stain due to spontaneous combustion. The things you learn later in life - sometimes too late.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you guys got away! That is awesome. It was a pretty good week here, no big stories, which is a relief after several weeks of angst. I have grocery shopping after I finish work, and washing the bedding. I was happy to get the regular laundry done yesterday so my weekend is free of that. Usual house stuff for the weekend and church on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys have a good weekend and the railing cooperates with your plan C!!!
