This morning I got to the lumberyard when they opened and clarified a few things on my bill. Next I went to the job site and really got everything consolidated and organized. That will hopefully make work more efficient next week. I also cut and painted trim for around the porches. My last task was to load up the excess roofing supplies and take them to the storage unit. Back at the cottage I did a bit of cleaning and laundry. I went to the Goat Market for a little bit before driving home via Lynchburg. It was good to see Liz and Luke, and we played with Legos until dinner time. I did the bed time routine and now Luke is kind of trying to sleep.

Well, last night has horrible. After talking on the phone with Liz I started cramping up big time. I drank a bunch of water which eventually helped, but then I had to get up and pee all through the night. I woke up this morning feeling pretty tired, but we still got an early start. After dropping off my dad and the tools at the job site I went to the lumberyard for some trim and then returned and we got to work. Our objective was siding on the back wall. Despite it being very muddy and slippery we made good progress and finished in about 3.5 hours. My dad had to go home for a Bastille Day party, so I packed up, and got hammered by rain at the end. After taking the tools to the storage unit I showered and went to the post office and electric co-op before stopping at the Goat Market. I chatted with Eric for a bit then drove home. It was great to see Liz and Luke and we played until dinner time. We had a nice dinner and then cleaned up a lot before bath. I read Luke a book, prayed with him, then sang songs for the bed time routine. He is in bed now but probably not asleep.

Luke was up early and ready to build this morning. We played with Legos until breakfast, then I loaded my car and headed on. I drove to Monteagle without stopping. In town I went to the lumberyard, bank, dump, and Piggly Wiggly. I also did a little computer work and tried to nap. I made beans in the slow cooker, as befits my desire to start eating healthy again. This evening I met with a plumber/electrician and he is going to get me a quote. I had the beans along with some rice for dinner, and they were delicious. My dad arrived a little later and we have been talking some. I have also been working on my budgets for the houses.
