Daughter did call me late in the day and we talked for a good while. I feel so much happier. I was really getting down about that. Damn I miss her.
Today was one of those days where I worked my tail off and feel like nothing got accomplished.
Not true, of course. I got things done. I just underestimated how much was left.
I sorted through stuff remaining in the workshop and moved most of it to the shed.
Two neighbors let me put stuff in their garbage cans, so I only have one bag left. A big one.
Lined the last of the cabinets. Of course, cleaned them out first.
Washed the outside windows. Actually had to scrub them and scrape them. Whole time I've been here there have been tiny paint spots from previous owners. Seems to be oil based. I figured if I was going to stay here after this year I would have had new windows installed, double pane. So I never bothered scraping them before. That alone took several hours.
Had to also scrub daughter's windows. There was still a painting on the inside. I think she used some kind of paint we don't typically use on windows. It took quite an effort.
Forgot I had to do something about the sides and floor of the lower linen closet. I tore through the sides while doing wiring. The floor was bare wood with small gaps. So now it's all closed up.
Had one last batch of scrap metal for the neighbor. This was a really heavy load. Mostly because I gave him some old snow chains that seem to be from an 18 wheeler. Been in the shed since I moved in. One of those things I figured I would sell for scrap. He should get a decent amount for all the metal I gave him.
Most of what's left is all standard cleaning. Sweep, mop, clean out the washing machine, dishes, laundry, etc. I do need to finish cleaning the driveway. Do that in the morning while still cool.
Nearly all the trash is gone from the house now. I do have to clean out the fridge. Held back on that because of not having space in the garbage. The neighbors let me use their garbage cans in the evening. Then that was all taken up by yard trash and a couple bags I had sitting in the kitchen. I'm going to toss most of what is in the fridge which I likely won't eat in the next few days. Plus most cleaning rags and work clothes I use for the house and car. Keep maybe one set.
So, guess I will set appointments with investors for Tue. Which is probably better. Mondays tend to be busy and people in crappy moods. Especially after a holiday of sorts.
Cut my finger really good today. Not large but deep. Bad enough that in seconds I bled all the way down the hall. My blood is back to normal (I could tell just by looking at it.) but it still took a long time to stop bleeding.
I need food.
