Long night, longer day.

Well, last night was pretty miserable. I was relegated to the “sleeper” sofa and probably got about three hours of sleep total. So I was kind of dragging this morning. My first task at the house was to glue down the sinks to the vanity tops. Next I started screwing down the subfloor. That task was interrupted when some folks came by to look at the house. I had talked to them a couple of days ago, and they wanted to see the inside. They loved it, but unfortunately it was out of their price range. Next my dad came by with some old family friends who looked around and chatted a bit. After working a bit more I drove down to Manchester Home Depot to get some light bulbs and several things for the plumbers. Unfortunately much of what I needed was unavailable. On the way back I stopped at the market in Pelham for some food. I spent about four more hours finishing the screws. It was about eight by the time I left. I am now exhausted and already a little sore. I have just been relaxing and talking with my family here in the cottage living room.

I left the house about 7:30 this morning and went to the storage unit, lumberyard, back to the cottage, to the dump, and finally to the job site. My first task was to craft some wood pieces for three overhead lights. I worked on a bunch of other little tasks over the course of the day. The electricians returned and got all caught up. They also installed toilets and sinks/faucets. I am really pleased with how things are looking. This evening I just cooked dinner and have been relaxing at the cottage. My parents and Lauren are coming up soon, so I cleaned everything.

I was a little slow getting going this morning, but arrived at the job site a few minutes after eight. After unloading some tools and supplies I started installing the bathroom floors. That was rather frustrating but did end up going pretty well once I got my strategy down. Thy look pretty good too. The electricians came this afternoon and got a lot done. They will probably be all caught up by tomorrow. It was still very warm today and I worked in shorts and a t-shirt. After it got dark I went to the storage unit to pick up a few things, then drove down to Home Depot in Winchester. After buying a few things there I stopped at Food City for some groceries. Back at the cottage I have just been relaxing and working on some checklists. I hope to go to bed fairly early tonight.

Christmas hangover.

We all slept in a little bit this morning, which was nice. After breakfast I went to Lowe’s and Aldi for a few things. We spent the rest of the morning playing with new toys and relaxing around the house. This afternoon we went to a playground in Spring Hill for a bit. I kind of tried to nap after that, but was unable to. Before dinner I loaded up my car to prepare for my trip to the Mountain later. Luke was pretty well behaved this evening and is going through his bed time routine with Liz now.

Merry Christmas.

I was up until about two this morning doing stuff on the computer. Luke came to our room early and snuggled with us until about 6:30. Then we opened stockings, played some, ate waffles, opened presents, talked with Liz’s parents, played some more, talked with Liz’s younger brother, went to church with my parents, had lunch at Lauren’s house, and came home. It was a pretty tiring day, but Luke enjoyed it. He did pretty well for himself in the present department. Tonight he was a handful though, probably just over tired and over stimulated.
