BLUE NO MORE

The smaller bedroom upstairs at 1040 is blue no more. I painted it a nice neutral color by the name of SESAME. My goal tomorrow is to make the orange bedroom the same nice neutral color of SESAME.

Wairimu and I tore out the paneled wall in the smaller basement room along the outside walls so that the contractor could inspect the damage. We found an ugly red painted wall underneath the panelling that had lots of cracks, mildew and faded shades of red from the water seepage. There were plenty of spiders too.

I am so sore tonight. Wairimu said that I was in good shape. I guess she thought I could tear out a wall with gusto. Wairimu has been staying at 1156 the last few nights after spending the days in Detroit at a conference. She didn't need to be there until later today and thus was able to help me with the work for an hour or so.

We met with our new realtor and he wants us to fix the basement wall and to clean up more inside and repaint some rooms. I came home and promptly got a migraine. "His grace is sufficient." Pray that I will rest in His strength and get through this time.

Also, Pseudo had his little operation yesterday. He seems fine but woozy and a little sore. This morning he is more active but still untrusting so doesn't want me to pet him. He probably thinks I am taking him away again to that awful place.

Wairimu is here for a short visit while she attends a conference in Detroit. It is good to catch up with her again.

I speak tonight on campus about Amani. Such a busy time but fulfilling (except for that 1040).

It took a birthday to get me to blog.

I wish Justin a wonderful, fun-filled birthday. I wish we could be with you to celebrate. I'm sorry you're Edwardsless there for the day but we are with you in spirit. Pseudo wishes you a happy birthday too (he would if he could).

I have a meeting at 1040 today to talk about getting the basement fixed. Wished we had done it a year ago but it would have been hard to do before we moved. I have been stressed about this and just want the house to be sold and be done with it. Do you think I will get spammed from basement remodelers? I never notice the pop up ads so it won't do them any good.
