So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

[tango]

Lazy morning this morning. I think the last time I stayed in bed this late was a couple of months back when I was sick.

Finishing off coffee, then thinking about going for my walk around town and scraping some more of my floor. Using a scraper is tiring because it involves working on hands and knees on the floor, shifting around to manually scrape stuff off the surface of the floor, but it saves a fortune in sanding belts.

Later this afternoon I need to be at church to record an Easter message. The pastor is giving the message, I'm helping with the technical bits, safely behind the scenes.

Good morning all, had about 12 hours sleep last night, enjoying Belgian waffles with maple syrup for breakfast and my morning coffee.

Fairly productive day so far. Morning coffee drunk, walk in the sunshine enjoyed, floor mostly scraped, Easter message recorded ready to go out tomorrow, afternoon coffee drunk, more floor scraping done.

Now it's time to go play with my belt sander before dinner. Hopefully the freshly scraped floor will cooperate and I won't gum up endless belts along the way.

Good night all, been doing about an hour aroma therapy and massage therapy, meditating and doing yoga till dinner and heading the sack tonight.

Reading some. I finished my 17th book of the year today.

I'm going to need something meatier to attack my floor. I've scraped the surface varnish off and created quite an impressive pile of scrapings (now in a bucket thanks to my shop vac and separator) but still the bits that remain aren't playing nicely with my belt sander. I really don't want to have to be buying more aggressive chemicals to deal with it. So far applying acetone with paper towels seems to be lifting something - the paper comes away fairly dark but I'm not sure whether it's lifting the varnish or the stain or a bit of both. The trouble with acetone is that it's very intoxicating not to mention explosively flammable so it's best to avoid spreading too much over too wide an area.

It's great fun to use as a firestarter, you just don't want even a small spark when applying it across the floor.

Good afternoon all, having a hazelnut latte and Chinese green tea. Lunch is leftovers with orange juice. Doing aroma therapy and massage therapy till dinner and retiring to bed tonight.

Going through old photos. My belly is stuffed from eating a lot of good food.

Slept way longer than usual last night. Not sure why, probably a combination of having a couple of good beers during a video chat with a friend from abroad (who also likes good beer, so we were trying to one-up each other) and a really heavy dinner. Now hoping coffee will wake me up properly so I can sand some more of the floor.

 

[Naiwen]

Good morning all, had about 12 hours sleep last night, breakfast is my usual and my morning coffee.

I figured out how to stop going through sanding belts so fast. Sadly it took me all but two of my sanding belts to figure it out, and one of the last two is now worn out because of the amount of sanding it has done. Thankfully I found another six belts for sale within a 15 minute drive of home, so I can continue.

While we were out collecting them we figured we might as well replenish a few groceries. Still no toilet paper anywhere, it would appear.

Good afternoon all, sipping a maple syrup cappuccino and Chinese oolong tea. For lunch today : leftovers with orange juice. Doing aroma therapy and audio therapy till dinner and putting myself to sleep tonight.

Slept in this morning. Looks like a pretty day for a walk even though it's 20 degrees cooler than yesterday.

 

[tango]

Planning a walk, just need to help with a couple of things at church and wait for the clouds to part.

 

[NewCreation435]

Having staff meeting online today and then later taking two cats to the vet for their rabies shots

 

[tango]

Walk felt like a slog today, even at a slower pace because my wife came with me. She found it even more of a slog. But we got our exercise in, which was good. Next up is choosing some paint colors for the room that's getting close to being rebuilt.

 

[Naiwen]

Good morning all, had about 12 hours sleep last night, enjoying my usual breakfast and my morning coffee.

 

[tango]

Got some paint swatches to choose some colors. I got to thinking it makes more sense to paint the ceiling and then finish the floor, rather than the reverse. Not a great night last night so ended up sleeping in my recliner instead of doing anything useful. Oh well..... it's not like I'm going anywhere....

 

[Naiwen]

Good afternoon all, enjoying my salted caramel latte and Chinese black tea. Having lunch on leftovers with orange juice. Doing aroma therapy and audio therapy till dinner and hitting the pillow tonight.
