STILL OILING THE WOODEN DINING ROOM CHAIRS. The work isn't going as fast as I predicted, but that's alright. I'm about 2/3rds of the way done on the third chair.
They are looking healthier... if a chair can look healthy! Okay. First I spray the chair with a cleaner then polish it and wait a couple of hours before pouring Old English on the seat where I take a cloth to smear the oil all about on the entire chair. It actually goes pretty fast once I start.
The wooden chair soaks the oil up so a second coat goes on later in the day. The chair is allowed to dry over night before placing it on the floor and starting with the next chair. I had thought I'd be done Saturday, but it looks like it will be more like Monday before all 4 chairs are finished. Not a bad thing just slower than intended.
I am pleased with their finished look. OH SO NICE.
We purchased the chairs about a year ago at PAXICO where I have no idea where they came from, but the wood was parched. SHAME ON ME for not giving them a drink of oil sooner, but that's the way it's been around here. I am incredibly slow at getting things done. I get them done, but it takes so much longer than it should. poo.
Okay...it has lifted my spirits that I am almost finished with this little task. The chairs will look so much better come Monday. Me thinks.
The deep cleaning continues.
Hubby is working on the cabinet door fronts and is making progress. It'll be next week before the painting is finished on them. They'll be installed and hardware placed on them. Something to celebrate about when the Bathroom is finished. He has had to seal each door front and back twice then prime the doors before painting them a light grey to match the bathroom vanity. The painting will begin this week Lord willing.
When the Bathroom is done, then the porch will have to be worked on or it'll collapse. When the porch is done, then that's praise worthy and I will really CELEBRATE! I wish it were already done. Along awaited thought.
🧊Finally got around to giving the fridge some attention. Something was stinking inside and each time the door was opened the smell invaded the room. The Brussels sprouts had gone bad. The interior of the fridge was thoroughly cleaned. Gorgeous. She's sparkling now and newly arranged. Something about having a really clean and organized fridge turns my crank. Opening the door now shows off a clean, organized interior with no odor. Whoop whoop. She should stay clean for a while. So be it.
I have been battling fatigue so badly the last two weeks it makes me wonder if I have a virus or something. I know I am extremely deficient with some vitamins, but it seems like it's been more difficult to operate. It's awful to be so fatigued. AWFUL. Debilitating. Praying for better health. Amen.
OUTSIDE TEMPS have been hellish. Cooler morning temps are on their way the week to come. This will be welcomed. Staying out of the HEAT as I am not able to handle the hot temps. In the morning I'll need to give my outside plants a good drink to keep them alive. The large geraniums are blooming like never than before. They're lovely.
Plans for the week? Nothing exciting, but things need to get done.
Hoping to get back to walking at least a mile in the mornings each day.
A load of laundry each day.
Spend some time each day in the front BEDROOM figuring out what to do with the contents.
Research current events, medical issues and pray.
Thoughts swirling in my head.
Same 'ole same 'ole.
4 o'clock AFTERNOON TEA each day. 🫖 cheer-ree-o pinky up.
Goal accomplished.
