Living room floor - Start July 19, 2013

I will be taking breaks so I can get other things done around here (payday).
During my breaks I will take a photo or two and post the time. 
The curtains are going....
Starting at 10 am. Friday, July 19, 2013



It's moving along nicely. Had to do some creative cutting/snapping but got it done! A sharp blade is needed!!

Going to take a shower (95 degrees outside), then heading to the My-T-Fine Store for some ice cream and soda with chips! (as far as I can remember I have always eaten chips and soda!) And pick up some lunch/dinner fixings. Driving into town for a major grocery shopping is not in the plan today.
11:30 am Break Time

11:30 Break Time

3:30 pm July 19, 2013  Taking a break to show the progress!  Snacking on my chips and finishing up my soda. Letting the sealant dry that I used to smooth out the "bump" that is in the floor. We felt it even under the carpet and padding. I drover a couple of nails in it, that secured it some. The caulking is used to smooth out the sharp edge and nail edges.

Temp now is 103. A/C is on set at 79 (which is very low for me! Usually set at 84-86 degrees). Many fans going. 4 legged kids are blocked off...tiny bald girls in my room, the bigger kids and Simba get the kitchen.  Going to fill up my cup and start in again at 4 pm. Next break will be dinner.


Floor at 3:30 pm

It's going well! I like doing this so much more than painting! Tricky cutting the first corner of the brick wood stove pad. The first attempt, well that was screwed. The second was perfect! The first piece was used for the side of the brick. I will be adding the 1/4 rounds around the edges later. Need to find a local supplier for the type I would like to get. So far not in Redding!

Going to take a meal break. After I eat and chill for a bit I will decide to either pack it in or lay more.

The four legged kids are wondering what the heck is going on!

Now for the 6 pm photos!
That brick corner..tough

6 pm progress

6 pm progress

It's 7:20 pm. Took some OTC pain killers. My joints are stiff! I'm going to chill here beside FirstBoot with a mug of ice cream. Will work on the floor more tomorrow after work.

Ramblings...

Don't know where to begin... I'm tired and sore. Today at work (my 2nd day of setting up a new store) I was working in a two person team, setting up shelves. Never mind that I or my Team member never used a hydraulic lift (we learned on the fly). Now the pallet of 13 in wide, 4 ft long shelves stood taller than me and had a slight lean to it. Anyway...I hate when someone asks or tells you something and when you try to answer or explain another person jumps in and sorta kinda chews you out in a nice way...why are you doing it that way?? duh...never mind..getting tired of trying to defend/explain myself to this person. So just nod and look dumb.  Someone else jumped in and moved the pallet across the store for us. Thank you! I really don't know how to explain the next of what I saw.  Here is the picture...74 year old woman on her knees putting together endless wire baskets, putting in the dividers etc. She also has osteoporosis. This woman usually works ...

My Dad - Birthday and Surgery

Today is my Dad's 85th Birthday! Had carrot cake with his breakfast (he loves carrot cake). DoB July 24, 1934   He is doing well. No Rx pain pills since yesterday morning. 2 extra strength Tylenol are keeping pain away. Keeping him hydrated. He had first glass of Kevita Sparkling Probiotic (Dr.s orders). Not a fan, but will drink it. Says the bubbles are weird. HATES yogurt of any shape or form. Doctor also wants Dad to drink lots of Gatorade but mix with water (watching the sugar content). Dads likes the Gatorade/water mix. Dad has been good about leaving the bandages on his head alone. I see him start to touch it then he quickly pulls his hand away. There is a little fresh seepage today.         Another note: I purchased a "baby" monitor. Dad's voice is weak and very hard to hear him. What is nice about it: 2 parent monitors. I can leave one plugged in and take the other outside with me (still Sun drying laun...

Working out but not...

-
The past three days of work have been hard on my body! But I have noticed muscles I didn't know I had! From the cutting samples of the home decorator fabrics one day. The next two days was to tackle 70+ pallets of fabric boxes, some stood taller than me! By the end of the 3day (yesterday) we had all but 2.5 pallets done! What do you think I did today on my day off? Only the basic minimum. Feed dogs, dishes, laundry, put the garbage cans out for pickup tomorrow.  I did catch up on some reading and made it to the Dagot Season of X-files. Took a long nap!! Almost time for ibuprofen and a big glass of ice water! ok..now the news of the store. I found out yesterday that the OTL is no longer there. Third person told me, that she quit. I thought something like that happened when I saw that another OTL from a store in the Sac. area is coming up (till the DM decides what to do). I have been told that maybe I will be offered my position back. I highly doubt it but if I was, I do...
