I picked up some wood at the lumberyard this morning and then went to the job site. I worked on railing and then stairs on the front porch of the first house. It went pretty well and the weather was great. I made a couple more trips to the lumberyard and worked until about seven. I stopped by Piggly Wiggly for some food and am now just relaxing.
Luke was still snotty this morning and so I stayed home with him. We built towers and read books all morning. Liz went to get tested for the virus in Pulaski and we stayed home and ate lunch. He took an hour long nap after making a monster line-up of almost everything in his bedroom. He was in a weird mood this afternoon, maybe because he knew he was going to the doctor’s office. At three Liz took him there and I drove to Monteagle. At the job site I just pulled most of the tape and paper off the houses. It was nice to see the contrast between siding and trim, although I do have plenty of touch up painting to do on both. After getting a little food at Piggly Wiggly I have been reading at the cottage. I also chatted on the phone with Liz for a bit.
Liz still feels pretty crummy. Luke is still snotty but seems otherwise okay. Well, he is also coughing a bit. We were pretty much homebound except for a car nap and quick trip to a deserted playground. Tomorrow I will stay home to watch Luke.
Luke had an elevated temperature and lots of snot this morning, and Liz’s cough has still not gone away. So we took it easy and early this afternoon she went to an urgent care center for a chest x-ray. They said she has some sort of bronchial junk and gave her a prescription. This evening I did bed time with Luke and that took about an hour.
It was a long and intense day, but I survived. This morning I loaded up all of my materials and equipment and headed to the job site. After unloading I needed to get some plexiglass, which I found at the lumberyard after failing at Ace Hardware. It took a bit of time to get everything set up and the sprayer running, but once everything started going I was off to the races. The first house went well despite taking a while. The second went okay until about half way through at which point I was drained. From that point it took another three hours until I was finished. I sort of picked up the job site then went to CVS for about a gallon of drinks. Back at the cottage I showered and relaxed a little bit before driving home. It is about 10:45 now and everybody is asleep.
