A Day of Therapy

What an eventful day,  Thought it was time to do a little therapy, it's been a while,  Therapy to me is going out to the garage and make a mess with saw dust, that part I have to say I accomplished.

Got an early start, I knew I would have to stop sometime in my work to run to Bunkerville to get my sanders that I loaned my parents while I was gone on vacation. They don't get up to early these days so i had to wait a few hours before I could call to make sure they were home. 

Therapy on the other hand took some time and patience. I got started and things were going really well,  I got to the point I needed my nail gun and I couldn't find it anywhere,  I looked everywhere, when I got frustrated an called Duane to see if you lent it out, he said no, I told him I was going to buy new ones if they didn't show up. Nowhere to be found, I called my parents to see if I happened to give it to them with the sanders, and mom said no. I wasn't being a very happy camper... meanwhile my mom calls me back and said they did have it, so this is when I get impatient and call Duane and ask him if he would go get my tools for me, (he had my car) he was busy and said he would go soon.  My dad said he would not eat his breakfast and bring them right now. (he knows how impatient I am) but that's when I noticed the big puddle of water on my kitchen floor... what else? I said no eat your breakfast, apparently I have time to waste, I have water to clean up an find where it's coming from.

The cupboard under the sink was soaking wet, apparently my dishwasher leaks, I never use the dishwasher I think they are dumb, I would rather wash my hand it's so much faster. So the dishwasher hasn't been used for a while.  Duane decided to be wonderful and clean my dinning room and kitchen light and fix all burned out light bulbs.

See how clean they are! So Life is Good! even though I had puddles of water, I have Clean Lights!

Mean while I waited for Duane to get me my tools so I could finish one of my projects. He called and told my he was on his way to go get them, but it seemed forever and he hadn't gotten back yet, I texted him and told him I was trying to be patient.  He came pretty soon after that.


So Back to work and I was able to finish my toddler picnic table. Now I just have to decide what color to paint it.

Then my next project. I told Jessica I wanted to make Andi her toddler bed for her birthday. So I decided I better get started on that, because once Summer starts who know what's going to happen! June seems booked already, Between Camp Ruth, (love it) and Hunter going to Camp Heleman, and Alex leaving for his National Guard Training until Oct. June will be over and Andi Birthday in in July. So I got started on it.


The question is, why is it when a person has a set of plans of something that seemed to work for other people, why do I have to think of changing the plan? why not do one we know already works? I have no idea, but it seems I always think there is a better idea I want to try and so some things take a lot longer then needs to be. 


I had some bead board and I wanted to use it instead of a bunch of 1x4's. Again everything was going great, then I went to use one of my sanders, and it was broken, went to use another one, and I had already ran out of paper for it on the picnic table. So I jump in the car and run to Ace to get  either a new sander or sandpaper, I had a $15.00 gift card from my Ace rewards to use. So I go to Ace and no sander like the one I wanted, went to get sandpaper and No sandpaper to fit my other sander. so I purchase a different kind of sandpaper thinking I could get it to work for me, and apparently you have to spend the whole $15.00 at once. So I ended up with 3 Pepsi's which I hardly ever drink but was really thirsty so one sounded good, and to chick o sticks. So I spent my $15.00, I call this a Grandma Leavitt Therapy session. These are things I would always take her shopping for. So Life is Good!!! I had a Grandma Leavitt moment.

And boy was it good!!!


So my sandpaper I got didn't work, So I called Alex and asked him to run to Wal-mart for me to find me a sander. Life Is Good, He got me a new sander so I could finish my job.

and I was able to finish my second project, It's going to look a lot better once it's painted. Again just got to decide what color, Thinking White.

It almost looks like a chair

So all in all It was a good day, but I'm not finished yet, got a few orders to finish up, I hope I get to play some more tomorrow, but first I have to learn how to fix a fishing pole before Cub Scouts, have to teach them, so I better learn it.
