I've been pretty energetic lately but yesterday was a struggle and today I am really tired. Not much to show but then painting is like a slow boat to China. I think I'm done with the door frame....it was just a re-coat. I could use a new storm door as it is black that is fading and bare metal in parts but it's functional and they are expensive...for me anyway.
This is the side of the shed I had already painted 3 coats on but it could use another. When you stand at a distance you can't tell but close up you can. We'll see how far I get this Fall before it's too cold to paint outside..
This is the first coat on the other side....pretty awful isn't it? LOL! I'm tuckered out today so we'll see if I get any painting done at all.
YESTERDAY I:
emptied and relined all the garbages
took the garbage out to the street and back
painted (hopefully) the last coat on the front door frame except for the sill...almost forgot
picked, hung, and washed a load of laundry
cleaned up the house and kitchen (dishes, dishwasher, sink and counters etc.)
painted the shed
cleaned the litter box
blogged and read some
searched for fabric for Amanda's birthday purse and ended up sending a photo of the one she liked to The Fat Quarter Shop to see if they could find the fabric or something similar. They have great customer service!
knitted some on Christmas present and finished one section of it
no crocheting just read and went to bed
Happy Trails!

Gosh, you tire me out just reading how hard you are working! Great to hear about Fat Quarter Shop. I have ordered from them in the past.
ReplyDeleteWell, it caught up to me yesterday and I ended up taking a 2 hour nap and didn't feel very perky at all. So, needless to say I had nothing to blog about today! LOL!
DeleteListen to your body and rest when necessary. You won't get anything done if you wear yourself out. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are SO right...I crashed yesterday and got little done...not even a load of laundry! LOL!
DeleteI second Tammy, sounds like you need a few hours with your feet up. Gosh you've been busy! Painting outside here would be hard work too as it's raining all the time, it's been a pretty wet summer and when it comes to Autumn it will rain soms more....that's Wales for you!

ReplyDeleteHi Faith! How are you? It's the first time here it hasn't rained or been in 90's with in sufferable humidity so I am tried to "make hay while the sun shines" so to speak as the heat is coming back next week. Rain would be a nice excuse but then I would have to mow again...Ha! Ha! I'll be glad when Fall is here...summer is not my favorite anymore. I'll have to stop by and see what you've been up to!
DeleteYou sure get a lot done! I need to start keeping a list of what I do. Since my surgery, it seems like I don't get anything done. Kick back. Read a book and rest for a day or two and you'll be up going again.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
We have only have a small number of days when it's not too hot or isn't raining so that's why I push myself but I did crash yesterday but slowly but surely I will get things done outside so I can enjoy the Fall and Winter....my favs!
DeleteWell, no wonder you are tuckered out. My goodness, lady. You do more in a single day that I can accomplish in a week. Rest up for a couple of days and take it easy. Then you'll be at it again.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sharon
You were all so right! I did have to rest yesterday..I did a few things around the house but not much and I took a 2 hour nap which I never do but I was "toast"! LOL!
DeleteYou are achieving so much, you should feel very proud of yourself.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melody! I'm hoping to get the outside taken care of so I can come in this Winter and loll about! LOL!
DeleteAnd maybe, just maybe get some sewing and needlework done for MOI! I've pinned so much from yours....you are an inspiration for sure!
