What a curiously relaxing and productive day. I slept in, intermittently worked around the house and watched Movies. It was really quite lovely.
The first project I finished was building my island. I finished assembling the dresser and then set the top on but the instructions for the butcher block top say I need linseed oil. I should have read it sooner . I headed out to Home Depot just after 5 but decided to put away the yard inflatables and didn’t keep track of time. Suddenly it was ten to 6 and I wouldn’t make it before they closed. Roger said I may need to research a good safe oil for a countertop. I am s happy with my choice, just have to find something to finish the back side as it is made to be against a wall.
I took the time to look up the places for sale in our park. The double wide across the street is up for sale and I would like to get my hands on it and renovate it. Problem is I will never get permission to rent mine or it after my adventures with the strata council. I did learn something interesting though. Apparently because we own our own property and pay strata fees, when the realtor lists it is called a condominium. So weird. I guess now I don’t have to say I live in a mobile or modular home..
I took down and packed away all my Christmas decor, all that is left is on the roadside and I will deal with that tomorrow. It feels so big in here with the tree boxed up. Missy is super friendly and touchy today. She even lets me pet and snuggle her. I enjoyed being a loner today.
Did some tech work as well, turning shows on DVD to mp4 for streaming. Thank God for Google when software doesn’t do what you need. I did a couple work arounds until it was what the streaming company needed.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was interesting but surprisingly unTarantino until the end. It as a great walk down memory lane though. 1917 was powerful and gave quite the perspective on what we rarely see in the movies, behind enemy lines. Bombshell is quite the look at when the camera stops rolling on female news anchors. Stellar cast!
