Two Steps Back?

The washer was delivered but placed incorrectly so the installers returned today to get it shipshape. One was a mischievous fellow, took my picture after snapshotting a few to show how he’d engineered the drain pipe hose.

Ron mowed the grass yesterday and the yard looks great.

Also yesterday, I did a shop at Shaws and dropped off the rug to the dry cleaner. Watched the Select Board meeting.

Filed a claim with HSC to fix the cold water faucet. Looks like we may not need to do anything about it, though, now that the washer is attached.

Had a long phone conversation while I finished off a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, followed by an equally long nap. Did get some mulch spread.

Washed the floor in the basement “office” with a baking soda solution, then did a light vinegar and water spray. Ron moved the dehumidifier back to the main room.

Seedlings are growing like weeds! Doing a little weeding, mostly grass, every day.

Lizzy had an attack of diarrhea in the kitchen late in the day. I did a superficial cleanup. We put three of the rugs outside to be dealt with tomorrow and in the meantime, hauled a piece of indoor/outdoor carpeting upstairs.

Ron did a small wash, we hung it out.

After much effort, he was able to attach the dryer vent hose; didn’t finish until quite late, and very happy to get it done!

Here’s a strange one: I got a call from HSC, supposedly returning mine. I stumbled my way through the conversation, not realizing until later that I’d left a message a week ago, and my turn in queue had just come up. A week to return a phone call.

I broke down and ordered food from Le Bon Jour for supper: tacos and falafel. Disappointing actually.
