House renovation day 8
I knew something felt different. I was having my breakfast in my usual chair, watching the news on my phone, but I had an odd feeling. I decided to ignore it, as the news of the new Royal baby came through, I continued to munch away. Kelli wanted to get the paint for the bedroom early, so as the last of my coffee were slurped down, we got into the truck and set off for the paint store.
There it was again, that strange feeling, it was like I was growing a third buttock. I was getting a little concerned. I moved around in my seat, the lump was there, but there was no feeling.
I mentioned it to Kelli, and of course she was concerned. I continued to try to find the lump, suddenly it dawned on me what it was. I shoved my hand down the back of my jeans and pulled out a pair of yesterday’s underpants. They must have got trapped when I was rushing to get dressed. We both burst into hysterical laughter
Whilst at the store reviewing paint samples an older guy (a bit older than even me) inquired if anyone had some jump leads. Kelli left the paint samples for a while to check if she had any in the truck, she came back triumphantly waving the cables.
We tried desperately to get his vehicle started, but although the engine turned it didn’t fire. We took him to a petrol station to get fuel as an empty tank was the initial problem. Unable to help further we continued on our main task of the day.
The colour chosen for the bedroom is vibrant in the morning sun, and warming in the evening. As I continued laying the floor in the dining area the bedroom was transformed.
We both sat in the garden and let the dogs go wild, it is great to see them running free without the worry of traffic, this house will be perfect for all of us.
