A few years ago, sanding and priming fifty six 10" wide boards would not have taken the toll that it did yesterday. Wow. They were laid flat on a long table! How will we roll the walls and ceiling with paint? How did aging smack us down so quickly? The excellent painters we've had for decades in this area retired during covid and no one has filled their shoes, so we'll manage.
Except for that, no other work was done. Scott said he would be here at 10am with the patio door and wood delivery, but that was to help unload. One person, the driver, required a second helper. I didn't realize that and he plans to start Friday or next week. Missy was ready and had no problem with her food and water being moved, but she wailed at the door (within sight of her litter) until we moved it back. Brat.
I am still waiting for the two charts from market that I ordered, another with the black perforated paper coming later. But last night I watched floss tube and fell in love with this chart. It is over one thread for a tiny finish but still very small on 40 over two.
Immediately went to 123 and placed an order for it and another chart that she featured, very late at night. This morning, the entire order was shipped!! Wow. I think the Fraktur Friends design that I do not want to stitch on silk would be wonderful on a very dark (like WDW Chestnut but darker) 40 count and made into a pouch/bag. But with linen prices, taking a chance on color is not an option. Some browns look purplish, greenish, too gray, and most likely, none would be dark/rich enough. So I'll attempt dyeing at some point.
My arthritic hand is swollen and stiff from usage, and I cannot take Advil with the other drug I am taking for my knee. Arnica offers no help, neither do the other creams or Tylenol. So after another stop at my cardio office's complaint department, I plan to purchase a compression half glove which my neighbor uses regularly. Knuckles, thumb, and wrist, oh my!!
Carole's visit was late and brief, we just dropped off her items and food (stuffed cabbage casserole).
I hope your day is going well!

Love that chart too Marly that you have ordered.
I am using Glucosamine chondroïtine for the rheuma pain and that helps me a lot.
Take care, Truus from Holland
That IS an eye catching chart! I hope the glove helps. I am currently dealing with whip lash. Drove with my brother. I get whip lash rather easy I have found out. It can happen easy for me because of that permanent nerve damage in my neck from that steroid injection gone wrong in 2016.
Sanding and priming 56 boards would have smacked me down at ANY time. Yikes Girl. I've given up trying to keep track of what I can no longer do anymore. It's easier to remember what I can, which isn't very much. There are days I just feel like sitting and wailing like Missy. Happy Spring... Tis a blustery and cold start to it here in Nod. ~Robin~ (PS...think I may have a piece of chestnut someplace if you'd like me to look and take some photos in different lights for you?)
