A Day in the life.

          I am rewashing the same load of colors a third time –YES someone threw a tissue in with my clothes. I live alone and wash only my own clothes. I should be grateful it was not the load of dark clothes. Someone does that quite often.

          Yesterday, I had my deck power washed, my house power washed and my portable room air conditioners put in. I also had my redwood picnic table power washed. It was an old one my brother in law was getting rid of and I said I wanted it. I did a nice job sanding and repainting it a couple of years ago –then I put a varnish on it. Wrong. So when it start to peel –and peel badly –I decided it needed to be redone –power washing saved me a step. A male friend and my brother both asked me if I was going to have my new handyman paint the picnic? What kind of a question is that? I can still do some things; just not lift heavy air conditioners.

          Now, I am making a list of all my handyman jobs I need done. This man is 55 and seems very nice. He built the neighbors decks and works for them a lot. It seems the neighbor wife is very handy, the husband is not. I want all kinds of things done but I can afford only the necessary things. He also hung my new address sign. I made the tiled address sign in Mosaic class at the County Library.

           So far on my list is a new screen door and new hinges. Oh I would love to have windows boxes and a shed. Maybe by the Fall I can think of more things, that are necessary.
