Tuesday, March 26th 2019…... Today,
the sun was out for part of the day. We are supposed to get some rain way later
today. Kirk is due over to work on the roof again. We ran a few errands in the
morning, and then I got back and got out all of the stuff for Kirk to use
today. I had bought a new 100’ hose from Costco and this is one of the new
modern expandable types and it turns out to be really worth it ($39.),
especially for this job. It’s lightweight so Kirk was able to get it up on the
roof easily. He got another section powerwashed while he was here. He had to go
to another job. He is getting more customers lately, including Lou, who he
meets with on Saturday to discuss scope of work. Speaking of Lou, he got back
in the afternoon and dropped by later in the evening to give us a thank you
card and a Safeway gift card. Lydia made
dinner and then we watched the latest Master Chef Jr. before going back to our
own programs before bedtime.
Wednesday, March 27th, 2019…… This morning I got up early and
got showered and dressed and got miss muttley out and walked. My sister had
come by so when I got back, I let butthead off leash to go run with the
Quinz. My sister wanted to discuss her
trip and Lydia’s scope in Portland. It is scheduled for April 26th. It
was decided that Penny would move her Utah trip to accommodate Lydia, who
cannot get another day for her test. As it is, we have to go the day before and
get a room so she can start the prep and have a place to stay before the
sigmoidoscopy. Penny will move up her trip so we can watch Quincy and then
she’ll be back to be able to watch the dogs while we’re gone. After our talk,
Sis went home and I left and got coffee/tea while Lydia started breakfast. She
made me another chorizo scramble with the meat that Penny had made and given
us. After we ate, I cleaned up the kitchen and then took off to do my Habitat
for Humanity trip. I stopped at a few thrift shops as well. I was looking for
another digital clock for my room as the one I have been using (I’ve had it
since digital clocks were first made) finally gave out. I found one for $1.00
and another for $2.00 so I bought both. I also found a water heater that I
think I will go back tomorrow and buy. It was in pretty good shape. I didn’t
locate the mfg. date today but it is a minimal risk at $25.00. I also found a mini fridge that I want to go
back and get. It looks brand new and will really work out for me to use in the
workshop. I got back and relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the day. It was just
sprinkles and drizzles for most of the day so it was nice to be back inside.
Lydia had ground turkey defrosting so she made hamburgers for dinner. Earlier
in the day, we had decided to go to the show to see Captain Marvel, which was
playing at our local theater. We left about 6:30 and got parked and seated. The
show was pretty good. You kind of have to know The Avengers to be able to put
everything together. We liked it.
Thursday, March 28th, 2019…... I got Rylee walked and breakfast
finished and then took off to Habitat to get my water heater. I ended up with
the cheaper one. With my 10% discount, it only cost me $22.50. I had pretty
much everything except a few fittings and a gas line so I’m not in it much in
case it doesn’t work. But it does! I got everything hooked up and it fired off
and started up with no problem. BUT, when I went to hook up the line to the hot
water side of the faucet in the bathroom and turn it on, still nothing! I
couldn’t find any valves or anything else that wasn’t turned on. The next step is to replace the valve under
the sink and I’ll also replace the faucet but I’ll do that another day.
Meanwhile, Lydia went to work out in the backyard, planting all of the flowers
she recently bought from several nurseries and Walmart. She was pooped and so
was I so we went out and got fast food out (Burger King). Since we went to the
show last night, we were behind on Survivor so we watched that and the
Blacklist, both that she has taped on her tv, while we ate. We got them both
caught up and then went on to watch our own taped programs before calling it a
night. Oh yeah, I stopped at Petco today so Rylee got some new toys and after
running and playing outside with both of us in between jobs, she fell asleep on
her dog bed instead of bugging us all evening to play with her. But I’m sure
tomorrow morning she will still wake me up right on time!
