I had high hopes for bright blue skies and some sunshine today. It started out that way but although there is still a bit of bright light not as pretty as it was awhile ago. The humidity does seemed to have dropped though which will be nice for painting purposes.
Day 1 of vacation was spent in a futile attempt at getting tape residue off the walls. I applied adhesive remover, googled any other remedies at taking this gunk tried those, used a scraper, a nylon scrubbing pad but yet there's still gunk! I spent the better part of the day scrubbing and washing down walls, vaccuming up, moving the remants of DS room out and across the hall and by last night I was dirty, tired and a bit discouraged over the whole process.
DH painted the ceiling last night and is upstairs sanding the joint compound that he applied over the various nail holes. We're now going to spend the day painting together. We don't see eye to eye over covering up the floor so I don't have to go back and scrape up the spatterings and taping moldings and ceilings so I don't have to go back and do a kazillion touchups. He thinks it's a waste of time and I would agree if we were both the worlds neatest painters with the steadiest hands but we're not. I think we should prime he says no we don't have to. Should be a day of fun! It's also DH's birthday. I sure this isn't the way he envisioned spending his birthday so I do appreciate his help!
I've been up and trying to catch up on laundry and filing both of which I think multiply on their own. I've also gotten some unneeded stuff out of the filing cabinet and doing some shredding. Only so much of that I can do before the little red light comes on and says that's all your doing for awhile.
DD is coming over for dinner this evening for DH's birthday. I'm going to make some stuffed shells and somewhere during the course of the day I'll need to think about a cake although I may just have DD pick up something on her way over.
Better get dressed and upstairs before DH thinks I abandoned ship although that thought has crossed my mind!
Extremely relieved to have that Zumba class over. I think it well pretty well since the members clapped after some songs and after the class. I worked so hard on it even with being sick. I was practicing again until 8 pm last night! Unfortunately, it looks like the gym is taking Zumba off the schedule in the morning when the current instructor leaves for a full time job. She and I were both hoping I would be offered the class. Boo hoo....
The rat is moving out this week...yay. We have to see him since we are storing the mattress he needs. He is taking the computer even though DD contributed to paying for it and DS will take her to buy another one. There goes more of her savings/bill paying money. He is taking the bedroom set so we will have to figure out what she is going to do about furniture. Oh...he got an apartment in the Bronx and it is at least an hour away. He already said that he wants to stay at the house when it is his weekend. What kind of crap is that? He doesn't want to drive back and forth...that is what it is about!
Ok...said my peace for now again.
DD is adjusting to 2 babies...she thinks she should be doing better already. Hey the baby will be a week old tomorrow. She is doing great and I keep telling her that. She ahs to pump because 15 month old is not too cooperative at this point. It is fine...Josephine is getting all the benefits of breast milk.
Feeling a little better today but I am going to rest up the rest of the day. Teaching took a lot out of me.
Hope you all have a nice day. Hopefully I will see my babies tomorrow.

Good Morning,

Hi everyone ... I sure do miss getting to the board on a daily basis!
Karen
Very sad start to my Tuesday.
Good luck with your painting today with DH. Sounds like a tense situation. Sorry the adhesive is still haunting you.
You are a very good wife to have a birthday party even with all the work looming. Yes...tell DD to pick up a cake!
Happy Birthday to DH

So sad about the kitty, Cathy! I am sure many in the complex will miss her.
It is so hard to decide what to do with investments with this economy. If you get an answer, let me know.
WTG with the workout yesterday and hope you get to go again today.
