Nightly Recap…
Alright, I feel like I have to just update y’all on a few things.
I got a phone call from G later in the morning, telling me she was sorry she started in on me first thing in the morning and that she is feeling over sensitive, and that I’m a good boyfriend. Made me feel nice, and also made me kinda sad she is having a tough time these last few days. She drove up this afternoon and took me out to an early dinner at Chlili’s, I’d never been to one before and it was good. I wish there was more I could do, but I can’t take away her sadness, all I can do is be there for her. So I guess the next week and a half will be kind of tough, but we have each other and we’ll make it through it. I know you don’t read this hon, but if you do, I love you…
OK, on a lighter note, the guy from the flooring place came and measured the cottage today, looks like I’m going with Pergot flooring in there. It will cost about twice as much as carpet, but will stay nice looking about ten times longer! And I sheet rocked the bathroom, at last. Tomorrow I’ll do the boiler room, and maybe even start taping those two rooms if I’m lucky. Worst case is I tape them Thursday and Friday, and maybe get them primed this weekend. I have to get into high gear, need to get that place finished and get some income from it.
OK, I had a killer stomach virus Sunday night. I puked harder then I think I ever have in my life, about 6 times in a row, I don’t know where it all came from. but it was horrible. Then I was just so wiped out and weak feeling, and a little feverish too I think. I actually had to no-show G down in Tarrytown, first time I ever did that. She understood, of course, and even came up yesterday to nurture me if I needed it. But it was a sunny warm day, first one in ages it seems. I got a little spring fever and after lying in bed miserable for 19 hours, there was no keeping me down! I took it a little slow, but got a few things done. Seeing as how it was the first nice day of the year, I had a hankering for some burgers from the grill. No prob, you say?
Well, first we went to the hardware store and I picked up new flavorizer bars for my grill as the old ones were rotted out (Weber owners will understand) and then when we got home, they were the wrong size! So back to the hardware store, got the right ones, came back, cleaned the whole grill, and put them in. Then I had to clean the cast iron grates and season them with oil with the grill heating up. At long last, so I go to take the burgers out and start cooking. And guess what, I get out there an open the lid and it was out of gas!! So one more trip, this time to the deli, to get the tank filled. Finally cooked those burgers, and being out of practice, they were a little over cooked, but still had that yummy bar-b-q flavor. So it was a big production, but worth it. And now the grill is set for the rest of the summer.
Alrighty, time for bed (actually I’m on the phone with G and it’s a bitch typing with one hand, no, the other one is holding the phone…) so have a good one.
