Busy Saturday

Las night I lit a few candles, wandered around the house gagging from the dead smell, and finally left for my parent's house.

Spent the night there, and spent the morning watching HGTV on their television. Dad finally felt sorry enough for me to follow me home to do something about the smell, but when we reached my house I could hardly smell anything at all. We're letting whatever it is just stay wherever it is. It's not like I ever use the fireplace.

Took Dad to Subway since he drove all the way over for nothing, and over lunch he agreed to install the GFCI adapters in the bedroom. While he did that I cleaned a little, and uncovered a gallon of paint. It's the color I needed to finish the baseboards (the paint I bought expressely for that purpose didn't match!!) so I can hopefully finish that little project today. Dad is saying install the baseboards using liquid nail stuff so I don't have to spend as much time on my knees, and I think he might have the right idea. I'm going to re-paint, and the head over to Home Depot to purchase a tube.


Also removed the tissue paper from the windows so I can paste up smaller squares of tissue. While I was scrubbing the tissue off the window it hit me that pink is a very fugitive color. I'm worried this treatment will fade away to nothing by September. I'm going to try it anyway. At the very least it will give me time to find something else.

Dad liked the window, and he also liked the foam core in the bookcase. He doesn't like the bead board either.

Lots to do, and HD closes in six hours.
