In case you weren’t aware, Michael rocks.
This weekend he installed a radiator in our bathroom! We have oil heat, with big old radiators in each room (as seen here). There were two in the living room, one of which was poorly placed, and in the bathroom there was an electric heater. Bah electric! We never turned it on because it took too long to heat up the bathroom to a reasonable level with it, so putting the extra living room radiator in there was logical.
I was weary about the whole project, but Michael made it work. Bought the needed piping and tools from the Home Depot, cleaned out the crawlspace in the basement (much dirt and dead mice, yuck), and by Sunday evening we had a working radiator in the bathroom.
I’m way impressed.
Besides that, I did some touch painting in the laundry room and bathroom this weekend. Also went to the theater with
Also went over to Michael’s mother’s house on Sunday night. She made us dinner, and gave me gifts. I was so excited when I opened the big one, a Sunbeam Mixmaster! I used one when I made cookies while Michael and I stayed with her (between end of our lease and final settling of the house), and mentioned to her that I loved it. She remembered that and decided to get one for me. Now I’ll need to make more cookies %D
In the past few days we (ok, mostly Michael, what do I do around here besides cook and clean? Sheesh.) got the empty bedroom turned into something less empty. The television is now in there (instead of being in our bedroom), and two chairs and a side table, so it’s looking more and more like a real room. Very comfy for watching TV, and it’ll be better for when friends come over, no more need to pile on the bed or watch movies on the computer all the time.
Work is work. The music still drives me mad, and I thought the “adult contemporary” station was bad, the other day one of the women (the only one younger than me, at 21) got to turn on “her station” which was rap and hip hop. Come on now, we’re mostly a bunch of white women living in a comfy Philadelphia suburb! It was a long day.
All in all, things are good. I wish I had more reading time though, my “to read” pile is starting to grow…
