Lots of little progress

[kareina]

 Keldor’s foot/ankel is still hurting, so he stayed home from work. My first meeting on the calendar wasn't till 10:00, and I had stayed up too late last night, so I decided to sleep in. Instead of the 06:20 bus I could take the 07:00 or even the 07:55 would still be early enough to town.

 

But I woke before my alarm, and realised it was early enough I could take a shower, so I did. When I got out of the shower I looked at the clock, and thought I didn't have time to make the 07:00 bus and would get the 07:55. But after dressing, feeding the cats, and packing my backpack, there was only 06:50. If I took the car, to the busstop, I might make the 07:00.

 

So I tried, and it worked. The bus was standing at the stop when I arrived, and continued to sit there after I boarded long enough for me to get settled. 

 

Normally, the first thing I do when I board the bus is take off my boots and coat so I can ride in comfort without overheating, as the bus heaters are usually quite good.

 

Not today! It was -18 C outside, and while warmer inside the bus, it was far too cold to work. I tried, but my fingers were too cold, so I packed the computer back into my bag and called Keldor and chatted for most of the trip.

 

Once in I sent a note to my morning meeting, and found out that he's on his way to Stockholm. So, I had more time to work before my meeting at 13:00.

 

That one went to 14:25. My preferred bus home gets to the hospital stop at 14:30, and then a few minutes later arrives at the uni. Can I make it? Yes! Barely, but I did. Luckily, that bus had working heat, so I could work.

 

When I arrived home Keldor was busy with a small home improvement project, screwing a holder for the power strip into the window ledge behind the couch, so that we won't keep pulling it to the floor when we grab the USB cable. Yay!

 

It turns out that he'd also put up some of the glass fibre wallpaper in the attic loo in progress, and only stopped because we were running low on the glue. So I ate a quick final meal for the day and went down to the local paint store, where I got more glue.

 

After I got home we hung the mirror in the cellar bathroom, which looks much better with it.

 

When he drilled the holes in the concrete wall for mounting the mirror it broke around the hole edes, so I filled it in with spackel, and then, since the spackel was out I also spackeled the holes from when David had re-wired the laundry room months ago so we would be able to plug in the washer in its new location when we got to the renovation we have now done.

 

Then I started filling in the first layer spackel where we lost a bit of the guest riom ceiling when the electrician drilled down from the closet above to send wires through. That spot will take a number of layers before it looks reasonable. 

 

After that I measured and cut the the next chunk of wallpaper, and we put it up but we didn't do the final wall, as it was after 21:00 by then.

 

Now that I have taken notes on today's projects, I should do my yoga and get to sleep
