So! How was your day, honey?

Surreal. Had my first post COVID haircut today and was the first client back. There was a news team outside the place because the business owner has been very active in the local small business community since COVID and has been on the news a few times for COVID-interest segments. I was just like, "Er, all I want is to feel cooler, please leave me alone."

COVID testing, healthcare system gestapo techniques, and face shield/glove shopping at the pharmacy on the way home for potential work preparedness. Walked home in a thunderstorm and picked up the bus. A few beers in now, trying to sort it out. 

This morning as my alarm went off, a cute spaniel jumped up next to me on my bed, put his big wet nose of my cheek, and then used his head to gently nudge me out of bed. To me, there’s really no better way to start off the morning. 🥰

Two projects done...
Bought and revived a rusty old radiator cover.
 










We're not sure why or how this rescued mid-century mod table from curbside that was destined for a landfill works in our 1926 cottage Tudor, but it does! Needed dusting and a rub down from our homemade furniture polish and now it anchors a wall of photos from our European travels.

weedyburton79 That's impressive. Messy work too I'd bet

Unexpected day.

We knew the guy we hired to do some construction in one of our bathrooms and paint the apartment so we can list it was coming today, but we thought just to start the bathroom construction. But he showed up with a crew and they are starting painting today. While it was a few minutes of running around in circles trying to prepare, this means we are actually *ahead* of schedule, which is amazing. 

Kid started five weeks of day camp today, too. We haven't been apart as a family for almost 4 months since quarantine started. I don't know what to do with myself it is awesome. Getting so much done.

Yeah. The rust removal took about 12 hours and a lot of elbow grease over multiple weekends leading up to this past weekend when it was ready for paint. Looks amazing, though, and totally worth it to ensure we have a period appropriate cover.

Meeting up with a few gfs this evening for a night of beer and pub food out on the patio! 😁
