February 22nd

Well…that was okay…only got up once last night at 4am and slept in all the way til 6:17…but I don’t feel that hot with my allergies already getting bad and it’s not even spring yet…it’s probably from sanding yesterday even though I used the vacuum to collect the dust as I sanded….was miserable last night, too, and the allergy medicine that normally gives me relief didn’t work so I was plugged up all night and that continues this morning…but, I’m getting back into sanding and repair again this morning and I hope to have all of the door trim and baseboards done by tomorrow so I can paint Thursday…not sure about the door frame between the kitchen and dining room since it is in such bad shape but the sides need to be done so I can get the walls painted in the kitchen….still trying to decide how much repair work I’m going to do on the walls before I paint since I could work on them for weeks to get them smooth…and I’m not sure I want to do that much work….this place is 82 years old after all and it will have flaws but I will probably do some of the more obvious ones….not much to do today…just more work in the kitchen but it is a pain that my right hand is right back to where it was before I took a week off to rest it and it only took one short day of work to do that…so, I guess I just suck it up and get at it and can rest when I’m done with the kitchen….oh, I did have to use adhesive on the door seal to the basement since opening it pulled it loose last night…but damn, just about a 4 inch bead of glue is holding it fine this morning and it has gotten almost back to it’s normal shape….adhesive is a wonderful thing…and I need to get more tomorrow….more later….
