Paint n Paper

Home Improvements
Watch it transform from hell hole to hovel.  It's amazing what a little paint n paper will do... ok and some tiles.

Day 38

Posted 4/18/2020

Day ThirtyEight: Starting to get worried that this is going to make the thought of jail time less of a deterrent than it used to be... "Five years? Pft! We did 7 in the 20's when the COVID19 thing threatened to wipe humanity off the globe." Heather got up early and made Lawson a birthday cake, a blue, red and yellow cake with equally colourful icing and sprinkles. We sang happy birthday to him along with his friend on the phone, then he ate cake... ok I ate cake too... bad squishy! A little piece of birthday cake every now and again isn't going to kill me, now bringing in wood... that might. Started a little arts and crafts project today and brought in some wood, cut it in 4 foot lengths and stacked it in the dining room to dry overnight (it's still frozen outside here and the icy wood doesn't cut as well) I'll update you on this project throughout the week. Shhh... Now with the game pass a number of the games previously enjoyed on the iPad are now being played on the big screen down stairs... or so I though. Midway through the day the boy comes up the stairs and proclaims we need a bigger TV. Now it's an older model but it's still a good size 54" or something like that and I know he's standing in front of it, he doesn't sit... so he's maybe 5-6 feet away, honestly I had to go down and see what his problem was. Oh and yes, the Christmas tree is still up on the treadmill. The problem is the game isn't setup perfectly for the screen or vice versa and what goes nicely to the edge of the screen for movies now cuts off the bottom line of text on his game and he can't read the bottom of the screen... batteries in the remote are dead and I can't reach the controls on the TV to change the setting so when the batteries are finished charging we will fix it tomorrow. Finished off the soup, Heather made some keto/gf cheese and jalapeno biscuits which went nicely with it. I cut more wood. Then we finished off another GoaliePow video, this one is of his hockey school in Cochrane at the beginning of the year. A full hour of drills and goalie training, not real enthralling stuff but something he can watch when planning out things he needs to practice, hey, being a goalie isn't an easy job. Saturdays are slowly becoming pizza and wings night, yes real Buffalo Chicken Wings not like the 'Buffalo' chicken wings you get in restaurants up here... seriously they have no idea, they aren't complicated, don't overthink it, they aren't battered or breaded or dusted with stuff and they don't come in different flavors. Some Marky Mark Movie was cued up for the evenings entertainment and everyone was late getting to bed... does this mean they will sleep in tomorrow? ROFTLMAO - $5 says they are both up before 7:30am looking at things on the internet.
