I was in Hickory Tuesday and Wednesday while the painting crew was there . I worked on raking leaves Tuesday and earned myself a few blisters for my efforts. Wednesday I took the hardware off the kitchen cabinets to get them ready for painting. I made the trip to the store to purchase all the supplies I would need to get the job done.
I left home at 4:30 for the two hour drive to Hickory and began work as soon as I got there. I took my first break at 4 pm. because I needed to get hoses for the new washer and I picked up something to eat at Popeyes. The chicken tenders were good and the buffalo dipping sauce was the boss. I was feeling tired then but I really wanted to get the painting finished. I had planned to paint one side of the cabinets and all the walls then get some rest and finish the job Friday morning but I wasn't about to sleep in Mom's room and the guest bed was made up so pretty I just couldn't mess it up because I knew I could never make it up correctly. I normally sleep on the couch but I had it full of boxes so I decided to just keep working.
I really wasn't aware of the time as I worked. I finished painting and put all the hardware back on the doors and even hung the doors and cleaned the kitchen. It was then I checked the time and realized it was 2:30 am. Too tired to sleep I decided to head for home and with the aid of coffee I made it home by 4:30. I went straight to bed but I was so sore and tired that I found it hard to rest. Saturday was awful and I didn't feel much better on Sunday. Still a little off center today. I guess I'm just to old to be doing what I did daily a decade ago.
