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!!
You have no idea how good it feels to know that "spread sheet" has another meaning!!!!
