Yesterday was a rather quiet day a bit unsettling and a bit disappointing. My surprise meeting is on hold a bit but it WILL happen.

I've been a little achy but today everything seems to be working. I do forget my limits. LOL. My mind is now taking over for my body and I'm thinking about what I might do around here that won't cost me an arm and a leg. # one is my closet I want what they call skirt and shirt, plus a row of shelves at one end. That way I will have plenty of room to hang just about anything and I can fold my Tee's and put them on the shelf. I just have to design it so I have one tall section to hang long things. You know like bath robes and the dresses I never wear plus coats.. The nice thing about our bedroom is we have two walk ins....a hers and a his and storage. LOL I had been thinking of doing away with my dresser since it doesn't match his or maybe fitting it in the closet..that requires more thought. Now I also would like to make my bedroom in the cottage style having bead board on the bottom and a blueish gray paint scheme and I would love one wall in a red color but that won't fit my cottage thought. So since I don't have the finances to get the bead board yet I have been thinking of painting the whole room in my blueish gray and taking the hidious border they have at chair rail height off and painting it my reddish color and putting it back up. The reason for this is those darn strips there is a separation where the border is so I just can't take it off. This would work ok as when I can afford the bead board it will cover the separation anyway. At this point this would be an affordable fix for the bedroom. The spare/storage room can then just be painted..easy and I'm thinking just paint the SB room and putting the bead board chair rail thing in it. That will take care of the mess of the strips being broken off when they did the floor. All of this is a winter job but because of the furniture I do need Jim to help. And since we have decided not to do any removing of the strips it should be much easier and quicker. He has already promised that we will finish the trim we started two years ago. So that gives me something to ponder while my body (I hope) heals itself.

I'm missing Jim terribly now and counting the days till he gets home. Maybe next Thursday? you know the first week is heaven as you can do whatever you want and not worry about what and when you are going to eat.Not that its a problem anyway, but the second week boredom sets in and the third week its terrible. If we get rid or the RV this is what my life will be like starting in October. I'm not sure I am going to like it, unless I have something to do or someone around to talk to besides the three cats. If we have the RV I can go with him during the warm months but not the winter. There is also a place for me to work if I feel the need while I'm out there as my friend Nora can always use some help and a friend.

I had an e-mail yesterday with the cutest little boy and his dog praying so using TerrellS baby kit I did a LO of it. After coffee today I'll have to think about what else to do as since the QPs are done I need to work on a few more things.
The other LO is using TerrellS Egyptian Nirvana and I used a photo from an E-mail so I don't know who the photographer was.

The photo in picture of the day of course is my honey operating a train in Blackwell, Oklahoma.
