What is left to do is cleaning paint from a doorknob, putting away the supplies and straightening the closet. Such a relief to have a lovely, usable, enjoyable room again.
Today I plan to go to the grocery store. The list of about 25 items will take hours to find and purchase. We are out of or low on so many things, it is time to restock the freezer and cupboards. It really is a pleasure to be able to cook again with more confidence than I have had in a long time. The newest grocery list contains more ingredients than convenience foods. I'm looking forward to doing some real cooking.
Last night was steaks, mashed potatoes and baby peas. Actually, it was one steak, split between us. Trying to remove the first one from the broiler, I dropped it on the floor. As a result, the dog got a steak of her own. Oh well...
The house is clean, laundry finished and put away, the litter box is all that is left for the moment. Yesterday I found the last of the toys scattered around the house from our grandchildren visiting over the weekend.
They are growing up so fast. The oldest just started first grade and got glasses for the first time. The youngest turned three a month ago and is getting ready to start preschool with her hello kitty backpack. They have so much energy, and are a lot of fun to spend time with.
My oldest called the other day. He's getting ready to housesit for a friend out in California. He was astonished that it will pay more than he makes now after being at his job for more than twenty years. Family business, he is 32 and everyone there starts out pushing brooms and working their way up. He's taking a sabbatical to go out there and wants to do some exploring. I think he will enjoy himself.
With the Labor Day Weekend here our plans are to relax and enjoy ourselves.
