What a long HOT weekend it was

Saturday got started later than I had hoped but that is ok. Picked up the Boogie (Dicea was working) and the two of us headed to the Doma.

while I primed the ceiling in the master bedroom she did the job I hate the most... taping!

While waiting for the ceiling to dry I went and picked up some of the florida room and we ordered pizza. By that point the clock was telling us it was 2:30. I didn't think we had spent that long on the master bedroom but ok.

I spent a good part of the day running out front every 20 minutes or so to pull the hose along for the sprinkler tractor.

After pizza I went and painted the walls of the master bedroom. Half way through I went downstairs and turned the AC on. I was hoping it wouldn't be necessary but damn it got hot in there. (turns out it was a high of almost 90. Guess that would explain it). Boogie then informed me that the clock was wrong. At that poitn it was reading after 5pm and she had called the Dicea to find out where she was as she was supposed to get out of work at 3:30. Turns out it wasn't even 3 yet. Man was the clock off. I went back to work on the bedroom while Boogie picked up the family room and washed all the curtains from the florida room.

Dicea came home and shortly thereafter apidae and hora_somni came by to pick up the tables they had lent me for the garage sale. I think the neighbors were a bit surprised to be sitting in the middle of suburban West Amherst, NY and hear the very loud, echoing sound of a horse neighing. They were coming from the Brass Ring Thing event where they had brought one of their horses for the equestrian demo. If they were shocked by that wait until next summer when I am able to hold the occassional fight practice in my yards. Hehehehehehehe.

Showed hora_somni the Doma and the look of "wow" overwhelming on his face was rather entertaining. I told him he should have seen it 4 months ago.

After they went home Dicea and I went and good food for grilling for dinner. While we were gone Boogie got the curtain rod up in the 1/2 bath (something I've been wanting to do since Easter) and the curtain up! Now i can take a picture and show all the transformation of that room.

Saturday night was one of relaxation with the girls as we sat out on the back deck by candle light and talked and sang. I like having a deck or porch to go out and sit on. I foresee many a happy summer evening sitting out there once I move in. may need to conteplate getting a wireless laptop and wi-fi networking so I can go out there and still be connected. We shall see. Taht's way down on the list of things to do.

Sunday I got up and got the second coat on the walls in the master bedroom. Even though I did use the Kilz paint, the wall had some uneven texturing to it so it didn't coat as evenly as it normally does. Also, I did the walls in "Forest Shade" aka Forest Green aka "Ekat Green" and when doing dark colors you always should do two coats.

I didn't get the ceiling worked on as Dicea "kidnapped" me for a trip to the zoo to get out and away. I've been in a rather dark and icky mind space since Memorial day and she said I needed to get out and have a bit of fun. So we did.

Lemurs were back out! I had missed them. The snow leopards were in their proper enclosure! The vulturs have a BABY! It was a good day.

Went back and had some time with the Boogie before we headed back out. A store we wanted to go to was closed so we went to K-Mart instead to get cushions for the deck chairs. (Believe me... we need them).

Took Dicea back home and came home myself. The cats are happy to see me. We had some quiet snuggly time before I came down to get a drink and post here.

This week's plans are to mow the lawn. Gotta do it. Tape the ceiling of the master bedroom and paint it. Measure the space in the basement for the bi-fold doors I want to put up to help keep the cats out of the back area of the basement. I also need to see about grabbing bins from the garage in the Doma so I can start packing up the apartment.

I also within the next week or so NEED to work on the two scrolls due at AE Academy. Not to mention find someone who is going that can take the scrolls.

But that's the state of the me and the Doma.

Toodles all.
