Noisy day

It was a pretty good weekend. Saturday I helped DH make a template for our kitchen bar countertop. We just used some ramboard type cardboard. Then the live edge slabs will be cut into these 3 pieces using the pattern. The rest of the afternoon DH used his wheelbarrow to move some sandy type rock over in front of the two small garage doors, once goes out front, one out back. He at least got the base started, for when concrete gets poured there.

Sunday morning we woke up to a couple of inches of snow, but by mid morning it had all melted away, so that is good. It's cold though. This morning is 23 degrees. We didn't do too much yesterday. DH worked on organizing his picture and videos onto his hard drive and put a few little videos together of the recent progress. That always keeps him busy and his mind occupied for awhile. While he did that I watched episodes of Blacklist. My sister recommend it and it's a pretty good show. Lot's of episodes available, so should keep my entertained for awhile, at least.

Of course our cabinet lady never got a hold of us on Friday, like she said she would, to let us know when they are bringing the 3rd cabinet out. Can't say I'm a bit surprised.

It should be a busy week, here. The mason guy is finally here to start working. He stopped by Friday evening and dropped off some of his stuff. The excavating guy called last night and is finally getting out here to get the driveway pads prepped. If/when the cabinet shows up, the countertops should be ready to install sometime this week, too.

I really need to take some time off work - just to use up my vacation hours. I'm up to like 243 hours. Not to mention, I'm sure a little break would be good. I think we are only allowed to carry like an extra week, over our yearly amount, so I think I'm right there at that limit. Problem is I earn almost 2 days a month, LOL, so if I take a couple days off, I earn it right back, haha.

I just scheduled my appointment for my annual mammogram for Wednesday morning. I'll also stop in the lab before my appt and get my blood work done. I had to wait for the year to be up for my insurance to cover the mammogram and just want to get one trip in and all done at same time is easier.  And since DH and I would need to go into the city Friday afternoon or Sat morning, I'll probably just go get our grocery shopping done after my appointment. Then we won't have to make another trip in. 

The mason has gotten started....the stonework around the outside bottom of the shop never got finished last summer, so he's starting there. Noisy! since I'm inside it, LOL. Plus there's the excavating equipment noise going on. The dogs are a bit freaked out. One of my dogs tried to get into my lap (he's only like 80 pounds) and had his front paws up on my lap, so I was giving him hugs and he butted his head into my throat. Ouch! That does not feel good, at all.
