Ha! Bet you thought I was going to write about taking clothes off, huh? The joke's on you! I am, of course, talking about wallpaper stripping--second room. This room is the one that is to be Robin's. I spent part of the morning moving some things out of that room into Meg's new room--temporary because we are just moving things around until both rooms are done enough to move the furniture from the storage unit. With the target room mostly empty, I started stripping wallpaper. Meg remembers from years ago when we papered it that the walls were "evil". That seems to be the case. I'm not sure exactly WHAT is under the current layer of paper. It isn't paint and it doesn't act like wallpaper. Once the walls are dry, we will sand them down and hope to goodness they don't have to be primed. That will take TWICE the time. And I'm not sure how we are going to paint the ceiling with all of those glow-in-the-dark stars on there! Ryan wants stars, too....so we are going to have to start looking for more.
I have to meet with my attorney on Thursday and cook for Field Day on Friday. Field Day, for the uninitiated, is the national radio contest that mimicks emergency conditions. Amateur radio operators all over the country throw up antennas and start making contacts with the rest of the nation. The more contacts, the more points. It is a 24-hour event. Our club sets up at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds. Last year, we had monsoons. Hopefully, this year we can have decent weather. I won't spend the whole weekend there because there is so much going on here at home...
I am in my fourth week of "vacation"...working my fanny off...surrounded by clutter that needs to go to a dumpster! Once again, I just keep pluggin'.
