A day of rest

No great photos to post today.  We took a day off from both houses yesterday (Tuesday evening). Monday was move-in day for House #2.  Walt Kowalski and I went over after the gym to see how things went. 

Not bad moving day.  Only a little bit of drama. 

He got the gas stove hooked up.  I put the kitchen table and chairs back together.  Just small stuff to help.  We didn't get home until after 10pm.  The small stuff adds up. 
 
So a Tuesday evening off was nice.  Dinner before 10pm was also nice. 
 
Now I should tell you that our "night off" consisted of the following:
 
  • Gym
  • Hair cuts
  • Errands
  • Salads for dinner
  • House cleaning
  • Laundry


That's an evening off for us.
 
We splurged the other day and went shopping.  Hello, thrift store.  14 items for under $36.00.
 
With so much dirty work lately, we needed more work outside/get dirty clothes.  We both only have 3 long sleeve, long pant sets of clothing.  With so much poison in our forest and so much dirty work at House #1, I prefer to wear long sleeves and pants. Putting on long pants and long sleeve clothes when it's over 80 degrees is never fun.  Neither is poison ivy.  I'll take the sweat.  I can always change clothes.  Some days, we have worn all three sets of clothes.  All in the same day, that is.  That makes it tricky when it's only Saturday and we've got no clean clothes for Sunday. Crap.

Walt: 'What are you doing?'
Me: 'Laundry'
Walt: 'It's 11:30pm.'
Me: 'We need clothes for tomorrow, or we work in our underwear.'
Walt: 'Well, I wouldn't mind watching you do that.'
Me: 'Yes, but the neighbors would.'


So long sleeve shirts, jeans, and t-shirts are what we need right now. In gray and dark colors to hide the dirt that won't come out. 

Today we're getting another dumpster for House #1.  Tonight we need to work at the Cat Ranch.  Mowing, trimming, weeding, mulching, and with this cool weather maybe a little bonfire.  

I have peppers, sausage, and sauce on the to-do list, too.  This could turn into a cooking blog so easily.
