Day 130

Posted 7/19/2020

Day 130: I'm not sure what happen, we didn't get up that late... everyone was a little preoccupied, Heather was making things in the kitchen that were not breakfast related, no yummy smells of bacon... the boy was engrossed in the video games down stairs and I was looking at odds and ends on the internet. Eventually I got into the kitchen and made the adults some pancakes for lunch. Lawson lucked out, one of the things Heather was making was Banana Bread... so the boy loaded up on that. The pace didn't pick up any after spending a little more than an hour in the kitchen... I took a long break and played a few games with the boy... unavoidably this stretched into an even longer break when the power went out. I know what we can do with no power! Yup you guessed it... Eat Ice Cream to keep it from melting... we did that. However, plans were to cut the wood for the cupboard doors and drawer fronts. I did get the cut list printed off before the power died... not that I was going to cut it by hand, let's not be dumb now. But I spent a long time working on that list and I did finally get to cutting the wood when the power came back on, late after noon. The scrap from the 8 foot lengths that were cut, less than an inch total for the 3 pieces added together. Ya that took some figuring, but I'm cheap so... I managed to finish just as dinner was being put on the table, taco casserole. Heather managed to get more done on the tartan blanket and is now starting on the pattern going in the cross direction, starting to look kinda cool. The weekend was over and Heather and Lawson packed it in at a reasonable time... but me not so much so, seems I can't sleep again, meh.
