The plumber came and all I needed was to replace a small section of pipe and it totaled $200. I am still a bit miffed but may not be worth pursuing. The next thing is to have the new tile put in the two bathrooms and then put in the new toilet and new cabinet. Then I just need to clean the wood work and see if any painting needs to be done there. I am thinking I can handle that.
I spent yesterday putting away things and unpacking boxes. It is slow but steady. I am working really hard and I hurt all over but progress is being made.
My daughter is home this week and we went and bought some pool toys yesterday. It included a lounger for me and a combination volley ball, basketball and some other game in one. Then we went out to eat and I ordered ribs. Naughty me but it was really good.
My daughter is excited about having the birthday party for her oldest granddaughter here the end of the month with games, food, etc. We are busy working out the details. She even has a friend who is going to be a DJay.
I went to see Cowboy today. He had on his cowboy boots and was a happy camper. I hope we don't have any problems with it. He didn't say a word for about 18 months about his boots and now they seem to be the only thing on his mind. I will have to find his boot jack and take it to him. Traffic was good today, no slow downs or crazy drivers in sight.
They had pasta primavera today and it was only barely passable. The other wives said it is the third day for pasta in a row. There is something weird about this sudden change in the usually wonderful meals that are served at the home. I am going to stay over next week and go to the support group meeting and see what they say. There are some rather upset wives.
I came home today feeling really tired. I think I overdid it yesterday trying to unpack, etc. My hand and arm really hurt. I can sleep in tomorrow and maybe do a bit less work. I am just so anxious to get all the boxes unpacked and things put away.
There are several items on the table right now waiting to be repaired. I think we had more damage with this move than any I have ever experienced. Despite that most things made it OK. I still have items from the 1970's that are intact. But I need to glue back horns on a wood carving and some legs on another wood carving I bought some artificial flowers and greenery for my daughter and put them in a nice little vase for her bathroom. Things are beginning to look nice.
