We got up with the alarm because the windows guys were supposed to be here at 8. They didn't make it until 9. So it was pet stuff, breakfast, and surf while waiting. I did have to go out and open the gate (more on that later).
I received a couple of email magazines late yesterday, so I had plenty of reading material while they worked. It took them about 6 hours to do the work. They could have saved themselves some time if they had just broken out the old windows. instead they used a torch to try to take them out intact. Of 8 panes, they managed to remove one intact. The others all broke.
As soon as they left, so did we. We had to go to HEB and buy something for Ellen to take to a party this afternoon.
After we got home I started to install the blinds. I did the bathroom. It needed new holes, so it was basically a new install. Ellen left for the party, so I did one of the kitchen windows myself. It used the old holes, so it went fairly quickly. I didn't do the other one because I need to wait for the caulking they put around the window to dry.
After that I officially completed the safe move. I took the two furniture dollies to the back shed. After that I made the bed (this was wash day) and took a shower.
I'm feeling pretty sick. Last night wasn't restful, I kept waking up to cough or because I couldn't breath. It's been getting worse all day. When I got out of the shower I was freezing. I put on long pants and almost used the Minions blanket. Instead I fixed some soup. That helped.
The rest of the evening was watching random TV shows. I kept feeling worse. The finally was having to go out twice to close the gate. I couldn't do it the first time because I needed a light to reconnect the opener. That thing is getting fixed or replaced tomorrow.
