Tuesday night, before the cold comes...

Got home after stopping at Home Depot to pick up supplies for the next project. Still not too bad outside, weather-wise, but supposed to get cold and rainy soon (another Canadian cold front. Thanks, guys!) So, I probably should have done something "outside" but instead (I was beat, for some reason) started work inside.

I want to paint the alcove where the washer and drier sit. I never painted it yet and it looks pretty bad. Also, the flooring is a sheet of VERY old, ugly linoleum that does not butt up against the ceramic tile in the main room. The raw wood shelves I put in the week we moved here are still that: raw wood.

So, started the project by emptying those shelves, sorting as I go. I had a LOT of old cleaning products I took from St. Clair, put here and have never used, so in the trash they go!

Since the liquid laundry detergent is on those shelves, there was some soaked in soap. So, washed the shelves with a brush and sponge. That took about an hour, and I really was tired, so I quit for the night.

Warmed up some of the leftover chili I cleverly took out of the freezer this morning. This was the hot stuff I made last week, so was going to put crackers in it to chill it out a bit. Instead, I had an inspiration and used Cheezit, instead - not bad! Had a beer with it and watched the Iron Chef I taped. Then went back to Rome- Engineering an Empire. Fell asleep again (okay, so maybe its NOT as fascinating as I thought, lol!)

My daughter Melissa called and woke me up around 10:30 PM. We talked a while and when she hung up, I checked and the Tiger's game was still on, so I watched the last inning. We won!

Went back to sleep...
