Voila, It Rings!

Helleborus orientalis
"Lenten Rose"


How in the world will I say goodbye to the Lenten Rose? I'm having second thoughts today about selling the house. I'll just go with this feeling but continue to work my punch list and see how I feel tomorrow. But the good news is that my home is getting the attention that it needs, so whether I sell or not, it's all good. One thing is for sure: I'm either selling this house or throwing a big party this spring!

Last night I had a small victory. I repaired the doorbell. It's been broken for a while now (years); I disconnected the ringer from the wall, saw that one of the wires was loose, put it back in place, and voila, it rings again! And Melvin has a new reason to bark.



6am
black coffee

2pm
Starbucks
bag of nuts & dried fruit
coffee with half & half

Then a little while later, I had a protein bar. I was sort of wandering aimlessly, tired from obsessing over/working on this house 24/7, and just didn't know what to do with myself. So I ate a protein bar. hrmph. :-(

5:30pm
45 minute walk at Lullwater Park, with Melvin of course

7:30pm
Whole Foods To Go
meatloaf, collard greens, mushrooms and onions

8:30
Continued painting the bathroom; I've been working on it a little each day this week. Walls done. Ceiling done. Now doing the trim. It's a good thing I don't keep firearms in the house.

So funny. Maybe you can work on my bell next. It would be a strange thing for my doorbell to work. In fact, it just now occurs to me that when I walked Mike around the house to show him things to fix, I never even thought to mention the bell.
