Productive Sunday
Since we normally go to church on Saturday evenings, this frees up our Sundays quite nicely. While we don’t get to truly sleep in because of Jesse (and sometimes Annie), we do get a good day of rest and relaxation. For some reason yesterday turned into work on the house day and we got quite a lot accomplished before 10am when we paused to make breakfast.
The following is the list of stuff that needs doing. I’ve struck through the things that are done. As you can see, there’s still quite a lot to do.
Things That Need Doing Before We Have Guests for Thanksgiving
1. Switch armoire/buffet in living/dining room
2. Switch living/dining room areas
3. Put up ceiling fan in kitchen.
4. Put glass/silver away into the buffet. (This is partially done - the silver still needs to be unpacked.)
5. Hang pictures in living/dining room.
6. Hang curtains in living room and kitchen (Mom is in the process of making them.)
7. Finish unpacking boxes in living/dining room.
8. Finish unpacking kitchen boxes.
9. Paint green chest white.
10. Steam clean living/dining room carpet spots (Some of these are from moving. Some we think are from the previous tenant.)
This only covers the main floor. There’s still a lot to do in the basement (although that is slowly coming together) and upstairs (again, its coming together slowly).
The good thing? Jesse’s room is pretty much done. The guest room needs pictures and valance hung. Our bedroom needs curtains hung (Mom made them and I just got them last week), boxes unpacked, closets reorganized.
Also, we installed the gate on the entry stairway. We have gates for the other stairways. Jesse doesn’t get free floor access anywhere yet because of the still packed boxes and other moving junk hazards still about.
Anyway, still lots to do, but progress had been made.
