Month: January 2015

Completed the transfer of ownership today.

Made squash soup.

Marcela did a fantastic job with the floors and the oven.

A gent from Knox Electric and the Town inspector were here and signed off.

We got everyone’s signature on the timeshare deed.  Connie notarized it last evening.

Ron won mega points by packing up the Christmas lights, much more professionally than I.

PT yesterday.  Couldn’t use the bike, hurt too much.

Afterwards, I picked up more burlap from Cape Cod Coffee Roasters and Ron and I finished the shrub wrapping yesterday afternoon.

So tired that I fell asleep at 7:15.  Woke up around 9:30, went back to sleep, didn’t get up until 6:30 this morning.

Ron is making supper: spaghetti and clam sauce.

We brought the remaining branches to Emma’s today for the sheep.  They love the bark.

I piled the rest of the straw around the wrapped bushes.

Made two pies with “used” plums: so much better than eating them raw!

It was very cold today, wind chill was around 24, which doesn’t sound that bad, but I swear it made me hypothermic and as a result, stupid and clumsy.  Predicted to be in the teens tonight.

Ron got the window well covers on and picked up better stakes for the bushes.

We managed to get five plants partially or fully wrapped.  I need to pick up more burlap.

We are all four of us – Ron, me, Peter Bonnie – set to sign the deed tomorrow at Connie’s.

I’ve been angry with Ron the last couple of days, partly because of my leg, but also because of his endless reminiscing about Berkeley, Cal, Oakland, San Francisco, etc.  I hate dwelling on my past and resent his having a much better one than Peter and I did.

 

It snowed last night but warmed up by morning, so everything was wet and a bit rainy when I got up to fetch the Times and make coffee.

I was a cranky mess, fretting about money and my leg hurt.  Feeling much better after giving my leg a rest and watching “American Horror Story”, Season 3 this afternoon/evening.

Ron is doing chairs and getting into other mischief in WH.

I just put a salmon filet and a not-quite-too-far-gone acorn squash in the oven.

Got laundry, sheets and transfer station run done.  Ron re-hung the first terrarium and I finally finished the second.  Ron is about finished with the repair of the sideboard.

Got the holiday lights off the bushes and downstairs, ready to be put away whenever I find the box.

I planted stakes for burlap around two of the new bushes.  Ron picked up a hatchet so we can sharpen stakes for two more.  Supposed to get very cold tomorrow night, so setting these up is a priority for tomorrow.  It took me forever to get my mind set on how to do this, but I think four stakes in a box shape should work fine.  Fortunately, we don’t have to buy extra materials for this.

Conni dropped off the draft Sea Mist sale docs.

 

Ron drove John and I to a meeting for the NEPS web gang at Cycles!128.

It was a good meeting.  We stopped in to the Job Lot in Bourne on the way back, and we were relieved to be home by the time the snow started this afternoon.  I’ve been listening to it slide off the solar panels!

Ron and I went to a whiskey tasting at Andy’s.

It was too cold for walks – and anyway, my right leg is still pretty bad – so we were indoors all day, starting with a brunch and visit with Emma (and Mr. Baby and parents Junean and Mike; aunt Deona called), hot buttered rum with Joe and Laura, and a brief hello from Jim who stopped by to borrow my guitar for the night.
