A mental health day
Feb. 27th, 2026 10:23 pm A little new snow to shovel today, this is two days in a row, it looks like winter has finally arrived, while friends in southern locations post spring flower photos. Indeed, I walked out into the side yard today to take a photo of the attic window to include in asking for an estimate to replace it as part of the [[Create an attic bedroom]] project, and, for the first time this year, the snow is deep enough that I got snow on the knees of my trousers, as my feet sunk deeper in than the height of my boots.
I was so out of energy yesterday I took yesterday and today off of work. Boy did that decision pay off. I took a 1.5 hour nap after breakfast, and then did lots of tasks that seriously help my metal health:
- tided away all of the clutter that has been accumulating
- washed the bedsheets
- washed both of the cat water fountains
- started cleaning and inventorying the store room in the basement where we keep the home improvement supplies. Got the paints completely inventoried and found the missing silver paint, so now I have completed the test painting to compare the gold and silver over the chocolate brown paint.
I am feeling so much better!

Poor Keldor though, got his thumb too close to the sanding machine today and took a pretty serious chunk out of his thumbnail. Ow.
