  • It's only Thursday??

    Feels like it should be Friday or Saturday already.  I'm exhausted!  I've not been sleeping well at night (was awake till 4am Monday and 2:30am last night) and I just feel really worn down.  I've been working hard and doing things, especially yesterday, so you'd think that I would need the sleep and my body would be happy to relax.  Not so.  Please pray for that!

    Yesterday was our department meeting and we went to Emerald Hills for a work day.  Some of the group seeded and strawed the geothermal hillside next to the barn.  Julie and I broke apart some boards and then moved a HUGE pile of extra cedar siding planks into the barn.  Some of the pieces were 15 ft. long or so and it took both of us to move them.  I wish I'd gotten a picture of the pile outside and one of it inside, but I didn't. 

    I went home last night and worked in my room.  Did 3 coats of paint on my dresser, put up all of the face plate covers, readied the screws for my shelves, and moved the bed back into place.  Tonight I'll do one more (maybe 2) coat on the dresser and it'll be done.  I need to re-spray paint the drawer pulls and do another coat of spray paint on the small shelves.  And then I can finish loading the room.  I need help getting my photo screen up the stairs, but maybe Carolyn can do that with me.  It's not very heavy, just very awkward.  I'm so close to being done and I can't wait to see it all together.  The room looks so much bigger with the white paint and the green stripes at the top.  I love it! 

    My camera has been in the shop...suddenly the lens decided to stop retracting...so I've not been able to take any pictures.  Hopefully I'll have it back soon!  It feels strange to not have my camera.  It's nearly an extension of my arm, so I just feel out of sorts without it. 

    Have a great Thursday everyone!  Enjoy the day!
