Good evening.
Haven't heard anything yet...anxiously waiting!
I finished painting over the wallpaper on one side of the kitchen today. Looks much better. The other side will have to stay showing the wallpaper but it is pretty subtle. The new owners can paint that if they want. Still need to figure out how to get the little bit of white paint off the fake wood without removing the fake wood color.
Then I decided to cut the piece of plexiglass I got last fall into 3 pieces for the overhead florescent light area in the kitchen. I took down the old plexiglass pieces that had turned yellow/orange over the years and became brittle. I had bought a special tool to cut it with, but of course, I can't find that now, so I went to HD to get another one. They were out of them so will have to check the HD near work tomorrow. Tuesday, I will get the new dishwasher.
Next I need to go thru a few bins I have left in the porch that have photos, VHS tapes, etc. I want to get the VHS tapes put on DVDs. Will have to find a place that does that. Then need to clean out the shed. Most of that is stuff I need to toss out or find a new home for. Shouldn't take too long. Just has been too hot to do it this summer. Oh, and the area on the house where the old HVAC unit was removed from, needs to be painted but I keep forgetting since I rarely go around to that side of the house. That shouldn't take very long either. Just need to remember to do it! It is now on my list!
tonight I saw Sophie looking at something by the litter box in the front door entryway (the litter box room). I went to check it out and discovered a bunch of ants. Luckily, I found two Terro Ant Traps under the sink so I put those in that area. One inside the door behind the litter box, and one outside the door. I also put a line of corn starch powder in front of the entryway in the kitchen so they don't come into the kitchen from there. Just in case tho, I put the cat food dish in a larger bowl with water in it (like a moat) to keep any ants from getting to their food. Terro works really well and fast, so they should be gone in a day or so. There is a slight gap under the front door so I am sure that is where they are coming in from.
I stopped for an order of spaghetti yesterday after work, from my favorite Italian cafe. I split it into 3 large servings (they give you a lot in one order!!). It is SO good! Just before I hit the road, I think I will get a couple orders of spaghetti to divide up and freeze for later meals.
Speaking of shots, I need to get my flu shot, and also the new Covid shot. I will take an extra day or two off from work after that one since I also get the achy muscles, tired, headache, etc for a day or so afterward. I should also get my shingles shots. Need to make sure my insurance covers that first.
Sheila, it was the other couple (that wanted the washer/dryer) that said I could stay here for a month for free. Not sure what this couple will be willing to do, altho they did say they don't plan to come back until January. Hoping this won't fall thru...
Have a good night!
