April 9, 2018: Starting a Busy Week

Monday. It’s a nice day, sun is out and it is pretty warm. We hung out in the atrium after everyone straggled out of bed this morning. Everyone was pretty tired after being awake so late last night. The Church always makes for a very late night.

I didn’t get to hang out with everyone while Rachel and Cecil were still around. It was a busy work day for me. I had to work till around eight at night.

Liesl spent the day playing Skyrim.

We did dinner at home tonight, watched some shows on Netflix.

April 8, 2018: Meeting Cecil Garner

Sunday. This afternoon the grouting of the guest bathroom has begun. This bathroom has turned into one epic project. But at least it is moving forward, a little at a time. It’ll be so nice to have that bathroom up and running again.

This evening, Dominica, Paul, and Rachel went to The Church to go dancing. I stayed home and watched the girls.

While they were out dancing tonight, they met Cecil Garner who was in town for some festival going on in the city. They ended up hanging out and coming back to the house. We made a late night of it, staying up till probably five in the morning. We had a nice night.

Saturday.  Today the tiling begins in the bathroom!  We are so excited.

The first thing this morning was that Paul got the new bathroom light fixture mounted.  It is bright in there now, way brighter than it ever was before.  And then it was the finishing of the painting of the bathroom.  It is a pale, modern blue colour now, instead of the brushed denim look that was there before.  Such an improvement!

Lots of accounting and finance work today.  Getting things done while work is slow, since it is the weekend.

Jim came over early in the afternoon and he and Paul got right into setting the floor tiles for the bathroom.  The new, large, modern, dark tiles look so good.  It is hard to believe that our old, ugly, run down bathroom is going to look so nice and modern.

At five thirty, Luciana’s tooth came loose and she lost it.

April 6, 2018: The RX7 Leaves

Friday.

Finally after more than a year and a half, Rachel’s old, dead Mazda RX8 that has been starting to grow a small garden from under it in front of the house was towed away.  That car has been there, dead, for so long, we often just forget that it exists.

So now we are able to park our cars in front of the house.  A huge improvement.

Today was super busy at work.  We hit eighty three degrees this afternoon.  But are diving down to thirty nine during the night!

Tonight, Paul made tuna steaks for dinner.  Dominica made salt potatoes and spicy veggies.

Stayed up very late tonight doing software deployments and updates for Sodium Suite.
