New day, same thing

New day, same thing, LOL. More staining. I don't think it will ever be done, haha. Saturday I got one side of the 7 shelves poly'd. The poly takes much longer to dry than the stain, so we have to wait like 24 hours to be able to flip the boards to do the other side. Yesterday I did the second coat. He worked on 2 of the big beams for the shop loft. I was able to get 2 coats of stain on those on Saturday. One about mid day and the second coat around 8pm. In between I did get the downstairs vacuumed and a nap. I don't think I've had a weekend nap it at least 2 weeks, maybe 3.

Yesterday dh also worked on the corner of the back loft and got quite bit done towards that. I helped a little here and there, but he'd just text me to come out, haha. No reason for me to stand around a half hour waiting until the next bit of help he needed. 

Still no luck getting my mom's phone to go through. I'm not going to bother the nurses station with it. It will happen all the time and they have more important things to take care of. Honestly, it's kind of been like having a week off. Probably much needed, more than I realize. I will see her tomorrow, after my needle procedure and will check her phone then.

About an inch of snow again yesterday morning. New day, same thing ;)

I've watched all the episodes of new shows I got into. Now I'm back to watching Doc Martin. It's a good one to fill in when I don't have other shows to watch. I also watched Dear Edward on AppleTV. I feel like someone recommended this show, but I don't know who. Or maybe I just decided to try it on my own. But someone mentioned Connie Britton to me recently so they must have been talking about that show. They kind of ended it where a lot was resolved but could also go on to a season 2.

When the HVAC owner called dh on Friday he said he thinks they will be out Monday, but will let him know for sure. They didn't let us know, but our neighbors did LOL. A week or so ago Mr mentioned to dh he saw the HVAC van at our house. DH told him what was wrong and that they would be coming back at some point to fix the issue. Mr said they needed something checked out with their furnace system so maybe when they are out here again for us, they could combine the visit out here and take a look at theirs. DH told him he'd let them know that when they called to let us know when they were coming, so on Friday dh did and apparently hvac guy called Mr and told him they will check their issue out when they are done with ours on Monday. So that's how we got confirmation they are coming out today, from Mr., haha. I'm sure they will be here any time. Usually it's around 8:45 when they get here. Hopefully it gets fixed. Having no zones has been annoying.

I have to process payroll today instead of my normal day would be tomorrow, since I'll be gone half the day. I just have to change a setting on the payroll system to let it let me process a day early. So far so good. For like the first time ever I don't have any questions of clarifications on time off to send to my boss. I think it really is the first time ever that our company calendar has matched up with the time of requested in our payroll system. 

Not much else going on. I'm sure I'll have more to update tomorrow, after I get my needle aspiration procedure done.

  4. I hope all goes well for the aspiration. Do you intend to just get rid of your mother's phone? Maybe you won't have to stain for a long time. How is your hand?

  5. I never got round to watching the last series of Doc Martin but I did enjoy it very much. I especially like the police officer (PC Penhale?) - he was a real dimwit wasn't he. What was odd though was that they made it look like they lived in the middle of nowhere whereas in reality there was probably a ruddy great caravan site just out of shot!

    1. Translation please :) - what's a "caravan site"? It does look like a quaint little village near nowhere LOL
