Today I start work on a couple of things at once. I have to put plastic down on my garage floor so that I can spray paint the rebar that will support my privacy screen for my back deck and to seal my concrete bird bath. I will also be filling in the nail holes and screw holes in my bedroom wall (almost 20), sand that down and paint over it. Thankfully the paint for the walls was in the basement. AND THEN, I will begin putting the flooring planks down. That will begin on Monday and may take me a few days.
I also have the front railing to paint. Not sure I will do that today. I may do that next week then my dad is going to help me put that on. The only other things I want to accomplish is to put in the fan in my office area and the new vent/fan in the main bathroom.
Sounds like a lot but I can get it done in short order. My son informed me that, at this point, he is planning on visiting July 11-14th and I have a friend planning on spending the night on July 15th. So...I have my target date to have it all done...July 10th. I work well with a target date.
My friend Debbie is doing some interior redecorating...painting, flooring...to her mom's house because she is going to purchase it and move in next month. Her mom is elderly and having health issues. Debbie is a nurse. Debbie's 4 siblings encouraged her to do it and that way she can sell it later, if she wants, and make some money from it. They are married. She is divorced and this is what happens. I may end up selling my house and moving in with which ever one of my parents is left after one of them dies...just so the one that is left does not have to go to a nursing home. It will help me out also because by the time it is all said and done, I will end up with enough money to buy a house for myself outright...no mortgage. By then, my older sister may be ready to sell her house and we can find something that is mutually acceptable to both of us.
No...I obviously am not planning on remarrying. I don't care.
I bought some lavender plants. They were in my garage for a week. I finally put them in large planters on my deck and 2 days later they were dead. Ugh. I messaged the herb farm I bought them from and let them know what happened and asked if they had any more that I could buy and try again. They told me to dig them up, bring them in and they will replace them for free. I was not looking for that but if that is what they want to do...then, why not?
I had my second interview with the other online school. It was tough. I think it went well BUT I am not sure if they will offer me the job or if I want it. I can say that I would want more money but this is for an 11th grade position working with the algebra II teacher. My algebra II skills are rusty but I have confidence I could get up to speed fairly quickly with that but then I am thinking about learning a new system and getting used to a new grade level and it makes me tired just thinking of it. Usually I am all for a new challenge but I am losing my enthusiasm for it. I just don't feel like they will be offering me this position at this time. They will probably find someone else that is a better fit. That is my gut feeling. However, IF they do offer me that job, I will most likely take it. Who knows? I may really end up liking it. I have 8 more years before I am thinking I am going to consider retiring. Debbie says we won't be here anymore by then and she may be right. I am not going to worry about it.
Well, things are not going to get done by themselves. Off I go!
