Weekend Notes

Today was not nearly as productive as I would have liked, although it wasn't bad, either.  We're helping John's parents sell a house here in town, so this morning John went over there to cut the grass and attempt to fix the A/C.  John and I lived in the house for 4 years - and the a/c broke just before we moved out.  With the house closing in less than a week, we have to get it up and running again.  Preferably without it costing an arm and a leg!

John was kind enough to let me sleep in this morning - that plus the long nap I had this afternoon may be why I'm still up at 1:30 in the morning.  Bed, as soon as this is posted.  Promise!

While John was over at the other house, I attempted to paint a bench - I bought a bench at Goodwill's for $15.  It was sturdy, but a bit scuffed up.  I sanded it down really well, and spent the morning spraying on coats of white paint.  Unfortunately, I ran out of paint, and then messed up the top of the bench by not positively, absolutely, without-a-doubt made sure that the paint was completely dry.  Ah well - I just sanded that down again.  There will be a cushion on top of the bench when it's finished, so the top doesn't really matter.  Now I just need more paint!

We were total slackers this evening, though.  John really ought to have gotten some study time in; but I discovered that Netflix now has the second season of Sherlock, so we dropped everything to have a movie night!  My little laptop's sound wasn't up for the fast mumbling that Sherlock does so brilliantly, so we moved into the tiny office to watch the first two episodes on John's larger computer with speakers.  LOVE that show!

Tomorrow is church day - I believe I'll be in the nursery for the service.  After that lunch, a Sunday afternoon nap (for me, that is.  John doesn't believe in naps.  Unless he's sick or not feeling well), and some serious study time for John.  And maybe, just perhaps, we'll watch the final episode of Sherlock.
