Warm!

This week has been ridiculous.  It was one thing after another from 4:30am to 8:00pm.  I cried more than once.  All I could think was Friday this week will be over.  Friday...Friday... Friday...

Monday I finished and installed my Pinterest project.  I bought a buffet from the thrift store and redid it using a recipe for "chalk pain" that I saw, where else?, on Pinterest.  I took out the bottom shelf and used my round saw to cut a piece of wood to make wine storage.  I've got mad saw skills.  There's 18 bottles of wine in there and room for more.  It looks great.  I also painted the top, but it was way to heavy for me to move in the house and I haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or not.




Monday I also decided that I would use Earl as a stand in for conversations that I wanted to have with people with whom I can not actually speak my mind.  I thought it might help my anger issues.  My conversation with Earl started with "You are a beeping, beeping, beeeeep, beeeeeeee."  That worked ok, but Earl started wagging his tail and then I just started laughing.

On Tuesday my house finally got warm!  Warm! Warm!! It's so exciting.  In what was a stressful afternoon, my pellet stove got installed and I promptly turned it up and got warm.  It hasn't been all that cold this week, but it has been stinking amazing.  It's possible I don't even have to wear my robe in the morning.  All four of the dogs slept out in the living room.  Amazing.  The installation was a bit of a circus because I had to have everyone in the Little Backyard where Randi dug a foot deep hole in probably 20 seconds.

After this crazy week, I've spend most of the weekend trying not to run around.  It's nice not running around.
