Happy Friday!
Dh worked most of yesterday afternoon on his loft ceiling and he even did a bit of staining himself (yay! LOL). When I got done with work, he had come in to rest (and knew it would be dinner soon) and said he just needed 2 12' tongue and groove boards stained and he could be done with what he wanted to get done for the day. I said, if I have to go out and stain then I'm not making the "big" dinner I had planned. He said, that's ok, just make dinner, I'm too tired anyway.
So, I proceeded to make dinner. Not really "big" LOL, but it was chicken sandwich ring, which is more involved then just making it easy and heating up some soup. Then what does he do? - after we eat, he starts hinting he sure would love it if I could stain those 2 boards, as he went back out to the shop. I went out there, walked past him, to the work table and muttered "asshole". We had a good laugh. Two boards was really quick, like 10 minutes or so, so it didn't kill me.
I'm stopping work at 1:45 today, to go with dh to his GI dr follow up appointment. After we will pick up groceries and grab Wendy's for dinner on the way home. A rare, no cooking night, sounds good to me. I logged into work a half hour early and won't take a (1/2 hr) lunch break, close enough.
I got my mom's fed and state tax returns submitted online yesterday. Hopefully I won't have to go through additional hoops to get the refunds, but I'm sure I will. I still have her checking open, waiting for that Social Security payment. So, once I get these refunds and if I ever get that SS payment, I'll be all done and able to close out her checking, finally.
Sis said her stepdad has been doing much better since getting moved to the hospice care place. He told her he's enjoying his meals and gets to order whatever he wants!
I can envision a very similar situation here with my husband… all in good fun, of course. I CAN NOT stain. I seem to use too much, or not enough. I did, however paint the railings on our front porch. The contractor put them up the spring after we moved here, because my husband fell over the front when we were heading out to sit there. (About a 1inch high concrete pad, and he fell forward into the flower bed) He was fine because a kid grabbed him, and broke the force of the fall so he landed on his hands and knees. The plate he was holding wasn’t! In any case, I know how I felt painting 10 feet worth of railings first tho in the morning. It took about 3 hours! I can’t imagine doing it after working a full day!
