Well…up at 4:30 again but was able to get back to sleep until a little after 6 so that is the new pattern and I don’t mind it a bit….I am really sore today after working on the cabinets yesterday and I have new pains I haven’t had before so I think there will be ibuprofen before I get going on them again today….I’m sure it’s going to take a good month to finish the kitchen if I do everything including painting the walls but that can’t happen until I do the ugly patch they did on one of the walls and re plaster it and sand it…all they did was slap plaster on it and then paint it without sanding…another instance where the repairs were done half assed around here…it’s never going to be smooth like a professional plasterer would have done but it will be better and I have to remember this is an 82 year old house and it’s not going to be perfect…and I don’t want to spend the rest of my life working on it….other than all the work, it was a good day yesterday and I feel marginally better after my 15th day of being good and I am starting to entertain the idea that I could make no cocktails permanent but I’m not sure if I am ready for that yet…I do like the idea of saving all the cash I used to spend….a hundred bucks a month is not a little money living on SS and if I keep it up, I will have saved enough by spring to buy a kayak and that is pretty cool….not much to do today…just going to get on the bike here in a few minutes and then get back to working on the cabinets…need to put in at least 4 hours a day to make the progress I need to make and I want to get everything ready to paint so I can do all the white in one setup and only use one roller to do both coats…hoping for next week for that and doing the grey interiors…then I’ll get on the doors…work, work, work….more later…
