Close But No Cigar
My wonderful Redskins lost their playoff game this afternoon. Our Cinderella story came to an end. It was great to get this far, but it just wasn't there for us this year. Joe Gibbs did a fantastic job in two short years to get us this far, so perhaps next year will be the one for us to make it all the way. The good news is I won't be planning a Super Bowl party--which means I can get some work done around the house!
I cut the tops for my daughter's laminate bookshelves tonight. The game took up my whole afternoon, so that's about all I got done today. I'll prime and paint tomorrow. Fortunately, I have Monday off this week.
We were able to unload a pickup full of stuff for the Goodwill, which freed up a little room in the attic. I left most of the "good" stuff for the garage sale that I still plan to hold when the next three-day weekend rolls around. I'm glad I didn't try to do it today, since I'm still a bit under the weather with sinus crud.
I'm getting a bit fearful, though, about finishing some of these projects. It's mid-January, and where we are, it seems almost like spring. (In fact, some of my bulbs are already sprouting from the ground!) Our seed catalogs have come, and I've already purchased a bunch of seeds for my cool-weather veggies. Pretty soon, I'll have to be out in the garden, clearing out last year's debris and prepping the beds for this year's crop. Then it will be time for soccer season to start, then mowing the grass, then . . . there's no time left for woodworking.
My neighbor across the street told me today he's getting ready to convert his attic to a playroom. Since his house is almost identical to ours inside, it got me thinking about yet another project. That would be a killer renovation, though, and one I'm not nearly ready to tackle.
I need a job where I'm off all summer so I can do these projects, work in the garden, and travel. I shoulda been a teacher. Now that would have been hilarious!
