Today I Painted....

No, not anything like a bedroom or living room.  I painted...or started to...some figurines that I plan on giving as presents.  I really liked them when I bought them but have decided to give them as gifts instead.  One of the items has proven difficult but it is the reason I finally stopped painting tonight.  I was starting to shake because I was tired.  So I will work on them again tomorrow after I get back from my sister's house.  I thought I would go over there for a bit and spend a couple hours with her.  It always helps my mood...LOL.

I may go ahead and bring her over a couple more movies for her to watch whenever TV sucks.  I'll check with her in the morning.  Oh, and I got a surprise from my BFF today.  She sent me one of those pickeruppers that you can use to pick up things you dropped on the floor or even get things down off shelves that are a bit too high (so you don't have to use a chair).  I wanted the Beast to get one for himself but he hadn't yet.  Now he's claimed it and told me to thank her for him.  It means that *I* don't have to go around picking up things he's dropped on the floor now.  He can't bend down without falling over.  He has to get down on one knee and that's painful for him.  Getting up is even harder.  I don't have that problem so he's been leaving things he's dropped on the floor for me to pick up.

That's actually how I hurt my knee last week.  He had dropped a pair of his reading glasses on the floor and not told me.  I came out of the guest bedroom with my arms full of things that needed to be washed and slipped on them.  I actually felt blessed that I managed to come down on just the one knee.  I could have really hurt myself but I try not to think about that.  I'm recovered fully from all the hurt I did myself and I don't even feel like strangling him any more...LOL>

It's 34 degrees outside right now which is colder than originally predicted.  It WILL get colder tonight since it's not even midnight here.  Tomorrow is supposed to warm up to the lower 60's but who knows?  Weather is tricky these days.  At least it's pretty much a clear night and the moon is bright outside or was when I last let Baron out into the back yard.

We had a soup and sandwich day today for a change.  It's been a while and it's always a nice easy fix.  I was glad since I was busy painting.  I'm just going to head to bed now.  I already took my shower and am in my warmest pair of jammies.  I'm ready!  I made sure my electric blanket was turned on since it can be set for up to 8 hours but the Beast usually only turns it onto the 3 hour setting.  I usually turn it off for a while, then turn it on again so that we get the full 8 hours of warm.  

Love you all.  Keep warm.  Be happy.  Smile often.  ***Hugs***
