Progress

In the spirit of keeping my cheering squad informed - yesterday I got the windows washed on the outside. Yes. I really did do it. I also split this old and sort of sad Snake Plant and repotted the Mandevilla. This morning I updated both Chrome and Safari (I know hard, right?) and got Mark's wireless working again. He was a bit, hmmmm, frantic. For a reason, he's trying to get client work done. After lunch I will stain the siding on the end of the house to the east. The stain has come off in many places and needs help. It's not a huge job, it only requires sitting on a stool to do. That end is mostly tall windows and I only need to stain the bottom part. The top is protected by wide eaves and has no damage. There will be a small amount of touchup on the trim. There is so much catch-up to do but I need to focus on what I get done and gear myself up for more in the spring. It's amazing how necessary I am and how much I took care of, which now excludes the care of the horses, but didn't used to. I am easily tipped over, which means handling those rather large beasts is not yet part of the program.

That's the report. Over and out.

Hopefully I will get my window before, winter.

Sandra said...

I wish, Boud! I am pleased to be doing something, I will say that is for sure.

Sandra said...

A cheering squad is helpful to this old gal, Rita.

Sandra said...

Does this mean I am dazzling? Ha!!

CheerfulMonk said...

I’m happy to add my yays! 👍👏

Sandra said...

Spam got you, Jo-Anne. When you can't do much is when you really realize how much you did. I took care of the property.

Sandra said...

Giving my hope to yours, Dora.

Sandra said...

Thanks, Cheerful, I need the yays!

Our bank tried to convince me that the reason I couldn't complete a bank transfer was because I hadn't updated Chrome. Funny that, when everything else I do on Chrome works like a charm.

Sandra said...

That's strange. I mostly use Safari, but blogger decided I am anonymous when I use Safari here. So I use Chrome.

We are like the proverbial ant preparing for winter. Am I the grasshopper? (I think that was the fable.)

Ami said...

I guess it's asking too much for you to come over and help motivate me? I won't make you work, I will just have you sit and encourage me. Everything looks really nice. I'm impressed.

Still on fire!! You go girl soon the snow will fly!

Sandra said...

I vaguely recall the fable. Ants are industrious but grasshoppers eat them.

Sandra said...

I can do it remotely! I will warn you, I talk a lot.

Sandra said...

I felt that fire in my back the next day!
