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 42

Posted 4/22/2020

Day FortyTwo: Mostly Harmless... Polished off a few more Easter Eggs this morning in the form of meat and cheese omelettes... not liquidy enough to ooze out the cracks in the egg shell if it was broken but definitely not anywhere near the realms of making a deviled egg from... A good jostling with a fork makes it adequate for omelettes... it really gives you a good sense of how much you should actually mix an egg to make an omelet, once you get use to reliquefying an egg from almost almost soft boiled, you are doing it right... so many people under beat them because it takes time. And Butter! Cook it in Butter! Took a shower, breakfast was exhausting. Lawson got canned soup for lunch, someone has to eat it, he complains about the micro small pieces of chicken in his chicken noodle soup from the can... I'm sorry there isn't a quarter pound of meat in your bowl, suck it up, Daddy made home made soup just the other day. After lunch we sorted out his online school work, apparently he was in the wrong folder or something and wasn't getting his assignments... looks like he has a bit of a back log to work on now on top of the stuff we do around the house. I took some stuff out of the bottom of the freezer that looked like a block of frozen earth... pretty sure that would make a good Earth Day project... I would take it and recycle it into food. My culinary weapon of choice today... the 'InstaPot' - I swear if you left a shoe in that thing long enough it would be edible... well a real leather shoe, not one of those plastic things. Turned out to be some sort of beef which I cubed, sautéed with some shrooms and onions then bolted down and pressure cooked the hell out of... turned out nice, could have used a nice bottle of port, a little for the pot a little for me, alas we are out. After dinner Heather once again got sucked in to playing Minecraft down stairs with the boy and then complained about how he saves that all up for her when she gets home... ROTFLMAO - Ya, he's not saving anything, he's been going like that all day long, when you get home he's wore me out and just moving on to the next victim so... While they played I some how ended up falling down a worm hole and binge watching 3 years of these guys trying to build a boat (Acorn to Arabella)... kinda figured if it started 3 years ago that I would get to see a finished project before COVID kicked it... I will check back again in another 3 years to see if they are any closer. I did learn 2 things, I've always wanted to build something like that and after seeing the work and money put into I know why I've been putting it off... and (they had a parts boat the stripped for parts) NEVER buy a 100 year old wooden boat... the thing reminded me of almost any home I have owned, patches and repairs on top of patches and repairs trying to hold things together that stop existing 50 years ago... but in the case of a boat (unlike the house) it needs to float. Maybe I will build a 1:16th scale model ship out of pizza boxes or something to curb my creative need. If only I had some free time at home with nothing to do...
