I got up at 2:30 in the morning to again call out the door for Missy. She used up her ability to go out in the evening but at least she came back. She did meow to go out this afternoon but once back in did not ask to go out this evening so maybe she taught herself a lesson. I got some random things done to day including giving two coats of varathane to the underside of the island countertop, flipped it and attached it and got two coats on the top. Will sand it and give it al least one more coat soon. I finally put my first ‘real’ album, which I received from my cousin Rosie when I was a kid, into the album frame Jake had given me some time ago. Cher’s Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves is well worn from all my playing.
In between laundry loads and coats of varathane I went to Home Depot to pick up the light I fell in love with yesterday. Having slept on it I knew I still wanted it. Also went to Home Hardware and picked up the paint for the doors – next can is free!! I found a dimmer I had bought on sale and decided to take the time to change out the two outdoor switches and the kitchen and dining room while I was at it. They were in the wrong order and there was a dimmer on the ceiling fan which made it vibrate weird if you used it so I swapped it out for a regular switch. I love the new light and although it took a while due to my fear of vertigo while working on a ladder it was so worth it. Don’t even get me started about whoever thought it was a good idea to panel over the switches.
The other thing I feel very good about is that I accomplished all things today solo. Take that Asshat Mansplainer from Friday. All I need to do now is attach and paint the back panel on the island and cut the legs down a bit on my new to me stools I picked up yesterday. (And finish painting the cupboards and doors, and trim out the window, and completely redo the cupboard on the other side of the room, haha)
