The week has been great! I have accomplished so much this week, I have managed to get most thing in their new place and have emptied most boxes. I seem to be able to stay busy all day either in the house or yard. I spent one day just rearranging cords, cables, surge protectors, phones, and various other gadgets. The weather has been great all week, We have not even run the air conditioning. It has been great to be able to open windows and doors and let the breeze air the house.
I got Nylah's shirt made and in the mail on Monday. I was thinking when I went to mail the shirt I should go to the tanning bed and spend 15 minutes instead of 2 hours in the real sun, that would let me get so much more done in the house. I just did not want to leave the house, I decided I would sun for 2 hours then clean up and go mail the shirt and run other errands. As I lay in the sun on the patio, listening to oldies and watching Pat work on swapping the door on the patio refrigerator, I thought this is great... why would I ever go spend 15 minutes in a tanning bed when I can lay right here for 2 hours and watch a man work, lol. Pat had to go get parts to hook up the ice maker so he mailed the package for me and I never left the house. Tuesday was just as good as Monday and I got my 2 hours of sun in. I again never left the house. I kept a list going of errands to run and items to pickup whenever I had to leave the house. On Wednesday I finally had to go run errands and pick up items on my list. I needed stuff from walmart and Home depot. I have determined I just can not do Home Depot errands and Wal mart errands in the same day. I tried to get everything at Walmart, and almost did. I needed a pole to go in the patio storage room to be able to hang life jackets up. I did get the new Tv I had planned to get before the kids come to visit, so that was another gadget to get hooked up. I have never had these TV's programmed right since we got the better cable that required a box. I took the time to figure out how to get the controllers programmed right, so maybe Pat will not fuss so much about the cable system, tv's etc.
Thursday was another stay at home day for me. Actually I was going to run some more errands, but Pat discovered my van would not start when he went to move it out if the garage. He charged the battery and that appeared to be the problem but I had no desire to get stuck in town so I waited until Friday. Friday morning Pat carried the van to the shop and had it checked out and replaced the battery. I did floors all morning, lol. It is an all morning job to get the floors swept, mopped and vacuumed. BTW Friday was our 28th Wedding Anniversary. I did get errands run when Pat got back and it was an all afternoon job. I now have the pantry and freezer stocked and ready for the kids to come visit. I was exhausted when I finished this shopping trip. Pat and I went to eat at the new Mexican Restaurant just 3 miles away and the service was great and the food tooo. We will go there again for sure.
The weekend was rainy, but we enjoyed that as well. The water is back over the pier again today. I tinkered with Dvd players trying to figure out how to get the cable controller to control everything, very frustrating, I just can not seem to get it where one controller does it all. I am also still having problems with the music channels on the new TV, they will not come on every morning and then later in the day they work, the other TV's do not act that way, I really think its the cable and not the TVso maybe when the contractor is back to fix 2 outlets that do not work he can find the problem.
The cell phones do not work today, I guess the rain has the system messed up. Maybe its just me lol but seems everything I touch today does not want to work, even my new sewing machine has been a problem today.
As I read back over this it seems that I have not done anything exciting lol but somehow it seemed GREAT to me, lol. I am ready and forward to getting the grand kids here soon.
