I got this idea from a friend's Facebook post. ("Wouldn't it be fun to get a peek into what others do on any given day? Today, tell us what you did! All the details.") Here's mine from yesterday:
Read MoreSo...I was trying to simplify my life. But I just went from having one (easy and boring) job (that I hated) to having 2 (or 4) jobs (depending on your point of view). Yes, that's right, I finally quit Captel, the bane of my existence. Friday was my last day. And today was my first day at a new part-time job closer to home. It's a franchise business that does shipping, printing, etc. At last, opportunities to interact with other people! In person!

I'm much too tired and cranky to redo this one to make sense after the last one, so you'll just have to deal with it. Oh my goodness, what a month. Moving is crazy! The physical labor was bad enough, but then having to inform everyone of our new address and phone #, and worst of all, new email address put me right over the top.

We've got two seats and backs off and recovered, and one layer of stain on the frames. Now we've just got to dismantle, sand, and condition the other two chairs, and hope that we have time to get all three coats of stain and three coats of clear finish on before we have people over tomorrow for a cook out.
I don't know what my problem is, but I seem to like to cram as many things in to a few days as possible.
