What a day!

8-10am - Visited Canadian Tire, Rona, Irly Bird, Home Building Supplies and Samson in search of house cleaning and mending supplies. I was ready to tackle a myriad of chores to prepare our house for potential buyers.
10-11am - Called a contractor for decking quote, carpet cleaners to schedule appointment and plumber re dishwasher leak; prepped the bathroom door for painting.
11-11:30am - Plumber arrived five minutes after I called him & we listened to his romantic history spanning the past five years.
11:30-11:45 - Watched plumber diagnose appliance problem that he could not solve.
11:45am - Decided to start washing the deck but I needed the hose so I had to walk around to the front of the house because John had left the hose there yesterday. Enroute I was distracted by a forest of weeds that needed yanking.
12:00 noon - Interrupted by arrival of the third roofing company(one hour early) for quote on new roof and redoing the deck; managed to get the roller on the handle in preparation of painting the bathroom door. Forgot about plan to wash the deck.
12:30pm - John called to say that the "Lady Car" wouldn't start and he was stranded.
12:45pm - After roofer guy left I drove down to pick up John.
1:00pm - Made lunch and took one bite.
1:05pm - Doorbell rang...surprise visit from Adrian's high school classmate with her two young children.
2:00pm - Realtor arrived through front door to sign contract; visitors left through back door.
3:00pm - Placed a call to BCAA re the "Lady Car"'s inability to rev her engine.
3:05pm - Drove down to meet BCAA at the "Lady Car".
4:00pm - Got the vehicle over to Fountain Tire for diagnosis, probably fuel filter.
4:15pm - Drove over to Canadian Tire and bought a jute carpet for the entry hall...very nice!
4:30pm - Arrived home, made tea and returned phone calls for half an hour.
4:45pm - Tripped over painting spread sheet on bathroom floor.
5:00pm - Rolled out the carpet in the entry hall and hated it!..re-rolled it for return tomorrow.
5:15pm - Dark skies, raining...no need to wash the deck and too late to start painting the bathroom door!!
