what am I listening to..?
myself yawning

i;m whacked...
up at seven today, after being up until one thirty... ran some errands then got back into the painting. Got the final coat of paint on everything, built the valance for over the sink, reinstalled the runners on the drawers and in the cabinets. I put the new depression glass hardware on the drawers and hung two doors so I could see the overall effect. It looks like the cabinets were made in the twenties, which is just the look we're going for. I will hang the rest of the doors tomorrow and that will be it until after the Solstice Holiday.
One thing that I found interesting today is that, for the past few days, I've been totally out of touch with what's going on in the world. No television to speak of, no radio, except for time spent in the car running around, no newspapers or even checking the news online. And you know what? I didn't miss it. I immersed myself in my tasks with only music on to keep me company. I need to do this more often. And I will.
Blessed be, friends, and good night.

I've been up for twenty three hours. I painted all day, except for the time I spent installing new under cabinet lighting in the kitchen, washing dishes, doing laundry and helping the Mrs. put groceries away. I took a few hours off to go watch the opening game of Rutgers University's basketball season - a real nail biter against Lafayette. Rutgers managed to pull it out in the second half for the win. I got home around eleven and put one more coat of paint on the doors and drawer fronts. I should be able to wrap up the painting tomorrow and then rehang the doors and install the drawers on Monday and put on the new handles and knobs. I have to build a valance to go under the front of the cabinet over the sink to hide the new light as it is blinding when standing right in front of it.
I was just outside looking at the stars. It's in the low forties and dead still out there. A beautiful night, I wish I wasn't so tired, I'd go for a walk in the woods... but, it's time to visit the land of Nod, so I bid you good night and Blessed be.
