HUBBY has gone over to the COTTAGE alone to put the second coat of paint on the bathroom's beaded board walls. Two coats of primer and the first coat of paint made their way onto the wall and now the second much awaited coat of Cotton Balls colored paint is going on the walls. He's been chomping at the bit to get this done. I am encouraged that we are one step closer to installing the brand new toilet. The wall behind the toilet needed installed, primed and painted first.
We have moved slower on this due to illness. Staying on track, but slower. Sunday may be the day for the glorious THRONE to be put into place. THAT will make our day. I have to help install the toilet by placing the wax seal on the floor as he holds the toilet in midair. Won't that be a thrill? Yep. I can see it come together.
Making our COTTAGE a HOME is taking time and effort to get there. Each day I try very hard to take things over and return with a load of objects in the car to auction off.
While he is at the COTTAGE, I have a little time to myself. Since retirement in December 2019, we have been together daily. Very little time apart. I think I will take a long shower, shampoo my hair and trim it attempting to give myself a BUTTERFLY CUT. Probably air dry. Another trim. I think I need the layers.
The KSU GARDENS are having their Tulip Bulb Sale this afternoon. I hope to attend it and purchase PINK TULIPS, maybe some orange ones and white to plant next AUTUMN. We have a patch of ground by the garage that will hold the tulips. The Irises out front of the COTTAGE have Irises that are blooming. Hubby telephoned me and said that they have bloomed and took some pics. Says they are beautiful. This clump of colorful Irises may be moved to over beside the cellar door as I'd like to plant BRIDAL WREATH Irises out front this SUMMER. May change my mind after I see the pics and go very colorful out front. My goodness...can I make up my mind? One nice thing about landscaping is that if we like we can move plants about adding or taking away. The choice is ours.
Grand-daughter will come over later this afternoon to finish raking the yard. Hubby plans on planting grass seeds this week-end so the lawn comes back to life. I will tweak about the house gathering things that can go over to the COTTAGE. If I can get some more packing done, it will help with the move. I continue to cough which drains my energy level. I'm better, but still not quite well. I'm pushing at being busy with the move. I have to do what I can do.
I will gather up framed pictures that are upstairs and bring them downstairs to be grouped and taken over to the COTTAGE tomorrow. The moving about aggravates this asthma to where I have to sit and catch my breath. I was reading up about the harmful effects from the chemicals which come from the prescribed burning of the Prairie on people. AIR QUALITY is very bad during the burning.
There are chemicals released into the atmosphere that are not good to breath in. There is about a two month period of burning and it is advised to not do strenuous activities outside when this smoke is in the air. Staying inside turning the air conditioner on is advised. Wear a mask when outside. Avoid breathing in the smoke as much as possible. I am in hopes that my lungs will heal with some time and with not breathing smoke. The burning has stopped and I am slow to recover. I don't want to go through this again if possible. It has been detrimental to my health. Hubby seems to have handled this better than me this year.
All smoke contains carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and particulate matter (PM or soot). Smoke can contain many different chemicals, including aldehydes, acid gases, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene, toluene, styrene, metals and dioxins.
I did not watch the Coronation in its entirety, but watched tidbits on youtube. I did notice that when Prince William was kneeling before his father, the King, that he did not make much eye contact as he said his vows.
Off I go to clean-up and prepare for this much awaited week-end. TIME does not stop because I need to slow down and rest. A little time to myself is sweet. The house is quiet and I can think. Talking out loud to GOD is always welcomed with time to myself.
