Sue has not been feeling well and has been spending a lot of time horizontal. This has given Paul time to do those pesky little chores that have needed to be done for years!
Example you ask? OK, in the kitchen, the cabinet which holds glassware (water and wine glasses, champagne glasses, etc.) had two shelves that were “buckling” due to the weight. They were at odd angles and the small plastic braces at the ends of the selves had cracked from old age. Paul headed to the lumber yard and picked up some 3/4 inch dowel, cut the dowel into twelve separate nine inch pieces and strategically placed them at the ends and middle of the shelves…. Voila’, the shelves are not back to normal and stronger than ever! Took maybe an hour overall (considering the shelves had to be unloaded, glasses washed, and replaced) yet it was five plus years coming?
The truth is sometimes hard to take!
In the afternoon, Paul did a run to H&H Nursery in Lakewood and picked up four grapes plants and four berry plants. He moved the asparagus to a different location on the garden and planted the grapes and berries. The berries and grapes are each different so it ought to be fun! The berry plants were put along the back wall because their roots have a tendency to be evasive… Along the back wall the only place they can go is into the neighbors year or into our swimming pool!
Two years and it will be snack time along the north wall!
We decided NOT to go out so when Adrianne (our dear cleaning lady) came by, we went into another room while she worked he magic in the master bedroom/bath… Then we moved Sue back into that area while Adrianna finished the house.
Usually we go somewhere in the afternoon/evening but today we stayed home and PAul make some chocolate chip cookies for Sue and we watched two HAllmark movies, an NCIS, and of course Grey’s Anatomy. Episode #18 tonight entitled “Thanks for the Memories”
A bunch of characters!
Paul’s favorite character so far is Miranda Bailey who is introduced to the interns as “The Nazi” in the first season premiere because of her blunt attitude and demanding for respect. When she was still a resident, Webber once pointed out that she disliked nearly every attending she worked under; the attendings take her seriously due to her formidable reputation as an excellent surgeon. Off the bat she tells her interns to ‘not bother sucking up cause I already hate you and that’s not going to change’.
She is excellent!
We crashed for tomorrow is another “chores day”.
