I didn’t go to bed until after three this morning, so it was a real struggle to get up when I needed to. It was rainy so Luke and I played indoors with Legos and read books. The morning actually went by surprisingly quickly. I napped when he did although I didn’t feel too rested after. This evening I went to Kroger. It wasn’t crowded at all.
A little more productive.
I didn’t fall asleep until close to four this morning, but didn’t really sleep past eight, and that was fitful. I took trash to the dump and ran into Kent as well as my neighbor Bob. I took more stuff to the storage unit and brought my trailer to the house. There I loaded it up with scrap wood and drainage pipe. I organized and cleaned more, ripped down the boards for the soffit, and installed the cabinet trim. I also started ripping down trim for the bathrooms. Things are getting pretty close, and that is a good feeling. Early this afternoon storms arrived, so I packed up and returned to the cottage, where I cleaned a little, washed dishes, and packed up. The drive home was a little wet but otherwise uneventful. I came through Fayetteville and Lewisburg and arrived just before dinner time. It was great to see Luke, who was in a good mood after having spent the day with my parents. We ate, then it was bath time, then bed time. I didn’t get to play with him much, but will get to a lot over the next three days. This evening I did manage to mess with last night’s firefly pictures, and the preliminary result is below.
Back on the Mountain.
It feels a bit surreal to be back in Monteagle. This morning I loaded my car, jumped it off, since the battery was dead, and greeted my parents who came down to look after Luke today. Then I drove to Lowe’s in Shelbyville where I picked up the rest of my bathtub tiles and a couple of other things. Next stop was the lumberyard in Winchester where I picked up my replacement window sashes. I took everything to the house and got it all unloaded before the rain started. Then I got an oil change, bought some food at Piggly Wiggly, and took a nap. After my nap I got a call from my neighbor in Columbia, Jerry, saying that he and his wife were in town and asking if I wanted to go out to dinner. We met at the Goat Market and were able to order and be seated before lots of people arrived. After leaving them I just came back to the cottage and worked on materials lists for the next house.
