Hi All,
Today the blog is not about writing or what work I got done on my writing projects. Today's blog is personal. Today was THE craziest day I have had in a long while. 1 simple chore, wash the curtains in the house, turned into 2 trips to Home Depot and cleaning till all hours. Usually my cleaning starts around 10 or so.My husband was working ot today from home so I had to start some of it later then normal. So while waiting for him to be done, I decided a project I meant to do months ago I can do now. Everything started off fine. All the curtains came down and went into the wash and then the dryer. Meanwhile I started doing some of the other stuff on my list that wouldn't interfere with my husbands work. All is good. He leaves to do the shopping and I continue to dust the woodwork where the curtains were as it needed it. Well here's where it gets crazy. One of the mini-blinds that we have started to list to one side, saw that the sting on it was broke. Knowing I couldn't leave it like that went off the Home Depot. Got a fancy wood looking one that was more expensive (and looks great in the room I must say) and a cheep one as there was another one broke that needed replacing too, just not in a place that needed it right away. So I go and get these things and come back. Husbands already home and wondering where I had went. Critter guy was coming as we have a skunk trying to take over a woodchuck hole for a home. So all these things were all going on @ once. Then the new blind needed a new hole for bigger brackets and things so it wasn't going to be a simple replace like I had thought. So my Dad who is very handy came by to help out. He didn't bring a drill thinking we had one and not knowing if he'd even need one in the first place. Of course ours was dead. Then while charging and trying to hang the other blind that was a simple replace turned out not to be the right size. So off back to Home Depot we go. Get that fixed and Dad buys us batteries for our doorbells. Get back and fix the one blind then have to get the other one up and drill isn't charged. So finally get that up and trying putting up the curtains I took down. Oh yes there was a mishap with those as well. One set has rings one the top where they go over the rod, well one of these came off in the wash and wasn't easy to get back on, Dad figured out how. Of course all this takes all afternoon. What happened to the cleaning you ask? Well once resting with Dad once all that was over I had to finish the rest of it. Then I had to put the rest of the curtains back up. There is still 1 thing left to do and I am not sure I want to do it, but my husband gave me the best idea. He suggested to take a bath and relax after I finish. I SO think I am going to do so.It sounds like heaven right about now. So night all, off to finish the last chore and take my bath.
