I’ve postponed my rainbarrel project, a trip to PA, and a couple’s weekend to get a few things done before my new job starts. So far, the weekends have been packed with home improvement projects but there is a light at the end of June…
- June 14: Repaired the water damage to my skylight/ceiling. It looks great, but because of the location of the skylight and the intrinsic difficulty of painting on a ceiling two stories above a set of stairs, we ruined the paint on the walls around it. No biggie, those walls are easy to paint. It’s just a pain and it really wasn’t that preventable.
- June 15: Went to mom’s to clean out the house. Spent 6 hours clearing out the upstairs clutter and three car loads of trash AND clothing donations later, it’s done.
- June 20: Shopping with my sister. Ok, not so stressful, but terribly exhausting. I did manage to get two work outfits: one from H&M and another from Calvin Klein. Nowhere NEAR the 5-7 I need… but I still have this weekend in Duck.
- June 21: Cleaned out the first floor, the basement, and the garage of mom’s. Filled up an entire garage with crap and had it hauled away. Mom took care of the grime in the kitchen, sis did the garage and the basement, I did some little jobs here and there and the caulking of the bathroom. I needed to replace the mailbox, but I didn’t get around to it. *sigh*
- June 28: Bridesmaid duties with Sara and her birthday too! I also need to get back to the house to do some last minute detail work.
- June 29: Open House for mom. I need to get to the house early set up and make sure everything is sparkingly and dust free. Down to VA to say goodbye to Kate and Kelly.
- July 2-6th: At the beach for a well-deserved reprieve.
