Hiya Babe!
Had a wonderful, deep night of sleep, obviously all that exercise over the weekend did a number on my, in a good way! Got busy this morning, first with trying to fix my video camera. The casing had come loose and was a bit precarious, so I took it apart and found a loose screw. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t stay in, maybe it was stripped, so I ended up putting a tiny bit of clear epoxy on it, letting it sit overnight to see if that solves the problem. Next, I pulled out the new barbecue grill that arrived yesterday, and packed up the old one. For some reason they want me to send it back, even though it’s pretty unusable now, but they have promised me a full refund, so I printed out the return label and got it all ready to go. Next, I started my carpet project. It was on my to do list to find a carpet store and try to pick up a remnant to cover the storage area that I built (where Lola’s big dog bed now resides), but on Tuesday coming back from Glenn’s there was a big piece of carpet by the side of the road that looked like it had fallen off someone’s truck. I thought that if it was there the next time I passed it, no one was going to claim it and I’d grab it. Well, Friday on my way out, it was still there, so I rolled it up and put it in the back of the truck. This morning I unrolled it, and was amazed at how much there was, though it was clearly leftover from a job somewhere. I did a little measuring and realized I could not only do the storage box, I could replace every bit of carpeting in the RV (except the bedroom, which doesn’t need changing anyway), and still have plenty left over for an area rug like the laundry room, which would be great! So I started with the dog bed, got that done, then started with the stairs. The hardest part was pulling all the staples out! The top step looked like someone in training had done it, there were more than a hundred staples with no apparent rhyme or reason to their placement, so that took me a long time, the second step was a bit more organized and had a lot less staples, and by the time I got to the third step, things were moving along a lot faster, it’s such a small step. I managed to get them all done and put back in place by the time it was getting dark. I also took a quick trip to the Bait Shop during the afternoon to drop off the grill at their UPS stop there, got back and finished the stairs, finally settling down just before 7:00. Watched the Paddington Bear movie, just for fun, ready to head to my shower a bed. Busy and very productive day! Good night, my darlin’! Love you!
