I just haven't had much to talk about. Today it got hot and I'm afraid our beautiful cool weather is just about over for this year.
When I got this mobile home the interior was total paneling - everywhere, walls, ceilings, closet doors, and you name it - the same crappy fake paneling. One of the first things I did was to start painting, from the bedroom, to the spare room, to the hallway, to the living room and finally to the kitchen. (I never did get around to the bathroom). By the time I reached the kitchen I was sick and tired of painting, especially considering the time and number of coats it took to paint over the paneling. I am ashamed to say it, but since there are so many cabinets in the kitchen, requiring removal of all the hardware to soak the dirt out, and the painting of everything, I quit before I was finished! I still had three doors below the sink, plus about 12 drawers to paint. Now that I want to sell this place, I have to finish what I started all those years ago. I just hope the newly painted drawers don't make the rest of them look dingy.
I'm wiped out after removing all the hardware and screws, and placing them in a container of TSP to soak overnight. I'll scrub them with an old toothbrush tomorrow. Right now my back aches worse than usual. I also started deep cleaning the fridge, and threw out a bunch of things I haven't used in a long while.
I took Rocky out for a short walk first thing this morning and one of the nicer ladies in the park was there with her dog, so we joined them. I didn't intend to stay long, but several others came with their dogs, and Rocky was in heaven. An hour after we came back home Andrew came to walk him, and when he brought him back he said Rocky just couldn't walk anymore. All the running with the dogs caught up to him. I even noticed the few more times I tried to walk him this afternoon he was still unable to go very far. I hope he recuperates overnight!
Regarding the painting, Jeannie said she would come over Wednesday and possibly Thursday and do the painting for me. That's why I had to stick with the hardware removal and cleaning everything so it will be ready for her. Rocky and I are both too tired to move right now.
That's how exciting my life as been today. I'm too old for this!

Sounds like you had a pretty good day with Rocky and painting.
ReplyDeleteI had a good and tiring day. I was just cleaning and my daughter will do the painting. I had to get the surfaces ready for painting.
DeleteA pooped puppy can be a good thing. My back hurts just thinking about all the bending you had to do. Worth it when the house sells.
ReplyDeleteI don't think my back will ever be the same! I wish I knew if there was something I could take for it; I don't do well with pain killers, even aspirin and ibuprofen type products, so I rarely take anything at all.
DeleteHow about one of those pads you put on the pain spot. Like the basketball player advertises.
DeleteThat icy hot thing.
DeleteI probably should try it but I have aching joints all over and I'd need a pack of them. I haven't had a tv in years, but Ms.Belinda mentioned that the BB player is Shaq O'Neill. I always loved his commercials - he has a beautiful smile.
DeleteSeems like your getting into getting ready to sell and move on. I'm glad your daughter will do the painting for you. Hope Rocky lets you sleep well tonight sounds like you both may get a good nights sleep.
ReplyDeleteI did get a fairly decent night's sleep. Rocky was so tired from all the playing yesterday he slept well too.
DeleteYou are accomplishing a lot and it will all be worth it in the end as it will bring you more money.
ReplyDeleteI think (my poor CRS) you had one time mentioned that Rocky had hurt his paw but the vet had not found anything wrong with it. Hope he is just tired.
I think Jim and Sandie are referring to Shaquille O'Neal the former Los Angeles Laker who does commercials for Icy Hot.
Rocky hurt his paw playing basketball with Donald and the kids! He jumped too high and must have landed wrong. It's all better now, but I hope his basketball career is over!
Delete"I hope his basketball career is over!"
DeleteOh my god...jajajajjajaja...this was just too funny! :D
It wouldn't be so bad if he'd just stick to dribbling, but no, he has to go for the rim!
