When I woke up after 7, there were a few raindrops on the window, but they had disappeared by the time S woke up. I made our coffees and brought them back to bed. The horses were in the middle of the paddock but didn’t come close, so I had to go out there to give Switch her medication. She was not felling like taking them today so gave herself a half-hour workout. Eventually, she gave in and took the syringe full. S was outside taking down the Christmas lights from the apple trees. He had packed his backpack earlier to head to the Hat, but he ran to town to pick up Cooper on Britt’s request because he was acting “weird.”
S returned with Cooper and a roll-up-the-rim tea (BTW I did not win a thing), then headed off for Medicine Hat just before 11. I was sanding the wood filler on the dresser and drawers. Now that I had my glasses on, I noticed that there were many areas that needed more wood filler. I filled them and left them to dry while I went in for a bowl of soup for lunch.
I put most of my Etsy items on sale for 20% off and did some marketing. I then sanded the dresser and all six drawers, and applied a first coat of primer/sealer.
I finished the first coat of paint at 3 pm and took the dogs for a long, muddy walk. Back at home, I scooped up the dog poop and then did a childhood favourite: diverting the melting water from the plus 8, windless sunshine day 2.
While I was working, I heard a cash register chime announcing an Etsy sale. I packaged everything up, printed the label, and prepared it to be taken by Britt later tonight. She’ll drop it off on her day off tomorrow. Harley had supper, but poor Cooper didn’t because S forgot to feed him when he picked him up. I cleaned up all the dishes again and then trimmed and re-shellacced my nails before having leftover tenderloin and vegetable supper.
Today has melted a lot more snow, and it’s still bright at 6 pm. I was back in the garage, finishing up a few more wood filler spots, sanding, and applying the second primer coat. Podcasts are so convenient to listen to while working, and I listened to many today. I was finishing up the last side of the dresser when Britt came out. She fed Cooper, the horses, and gave Switch her medication. Thanks, Britt!

I ended my night with some Spanish lessons, catching up on my blog for today, a call from S and watching Netflix and Apple TV in bed.
