Hot again, although we are supposed to be on the edge of a weather system, so that might mess things up.
Yesterday was hot. Humid and hot. Some relief in the shade when the breeze was blowing, but overall, hot.
I got several little things done, or moved along a bit. Got a log storage rack built and in place. Stacked all the logs and sticks that were already cut to length. I’ve still got a couple of limbs to cut to length and stack but I didn’t want to get the chainsaw out yesterday. I’ll probably do that today.
I worked on getting some of the garage cleaned so I can get the new freezer in, and that wall of the garage rearranged. It’s gonna take some work, and it’s hot. All the stuff has to come out into the driveway for a while. Some of it wouldn’t do well in the sun, so I’ve dithered. It’s hard to stay focused and productive when it’s so hot.
I did pull two more bins of stuff to go to the local auction. So many more to go through.
The daughter’s new bedroom paint color is purple. REALLY purple. She likes it. That’s the important bit. I love that she’s growing up, but I miss the little kid too. Change. It keeps happening, no matter what the world is doing around you.
Businesses are adapting to the current conditions. Sherwin Williams has you order online, then do curbside pickup. Lowes and Home Depot have online ordering with curbside too. I waited about 10 minutes for my load of pool salt at HD. The only downside is when an item isn’t really in stock, or when you would normally browse to what you want/need. We’re used to instant or very near instant availability to almost everything. That seems to be changing too. Our pizza place was very busy. The only obvious change is that their newly renovated dine in area was empty. Some businesses will adapt, some will die. I’m sure some completely new businesses will arise too.
After all, change is the only constant…
And the certainty that some sort of bad thing WILL happen. So keep working on skills. Keep building relationships. Keep stacking.
