A Good Kind of Tired

“Girls with Grandmother Faces”

The best laid plans. I had every intention of taking yesterday off and doing nothing but knitting. As soon as coffee was finished, I headed to the office to finish up “just a couple of things”. Three hours later, I emerged when Mr. FixIt needed my help. We are working steadily on the master bath and yesterday was “hang the door”. I’ve never hung a door before...like a pre-hung door with the frame and all. That’s a chore.

I have to tell you...Mr. FixIt doesn’t get things done quick, but when he’s finished, it’s quality engineering. When he had the shower stall in place, it was measured and placed so precisely, you couldn’t slip a dollar bill in the space between. Hanging the door was a little tricky but when it went in, it was darned near perfect. I am very impressed with this man of mine!

We finished in time to clean up and meet our fellow high school classmates for dinner at a local Italian restaurant. There were forty of us there and I looked around at these beautiful people with grey hair and we’re still so young!

An update on the kitten. After spending her entire ten days post-spaying confined to the house, she let us know she was bored out of her gourd and wanted O-U-T-S-I-D-E by firmly biting us whenever we came within reach of her. After I pulled her off my leg for the umpteenth time, she got her wish and has become her sweet kitty self again. We tuck her into the pole building at dusk every night and give her some snuggles and food and water. We check her heated water dish and heated kitty condo and make sure her litter box is presentable and say goodnight.

So, I ended the day...tired and happy. A good tired. The kind of tired where you know you accomplished something. Not bad for a Friday the 13th! And today? It’s up in the air, but I really mean to knit and address Christmas cards. And watch some Christmas movies and make phone calls. And maybe bake something yummy to go with the BEST beef stew that I made yesterday. What are you all up to today?
