February 8th

Well…the pain in my hands has finally gotten to the point that it is keeping me up at night even with taking an ibuprofen to try to make it tolerable…and I have one last day of abuse to load on them to finish the drawers today…I have decided to take a week or so off after today to let them heal up and the place needs a huge cleanup anyway with the dust I spread around fitting up the doors yesterday…I am looking forward to tearing down the dust room downstairs and getting that cleaned up in the next couple of days…the last set of blinds for the kitchen are out for delivery so I may get them today and that will be a project for tomorrow to install them but that means I need to get the window inset cleaned up and wash the window but I’ll wait til I get the brackets up before I do that so I only have to clean once…okay, that’s enough about the house…this is a little weird but I find myself enjoying going out to shovel the snow and getting some fresh air while I use new muscles that I don’t use working on the house….it seems just so old fashioned to have my sidewalks clear and not done with some kind of power equipment…I am thinking about buying a work bench to put downstairs so I can mount my vise to it and have a place to work on things…not sure where I’d put it but it could go in the space I’m using for the dust room or in the bike room…I saw a nice one online for about 150 bucks with two levels and other features that would make it handy….but, I burned a couple of grand this month with paying my property taxes and my house insurance along with all of the stuff I needed for the house so that will have to wait a while…not much to do today…just the drawers and starting on cleanup…and I think I’ll start putting the food back into the upper cupboards but it all needs to be sorted and cleaned first…and I need to toss stuff that has been in there for a year….more later…
