What can I say about today? I woke up hurting in my arms, hands, and knees. I am counting the days until my next cortisone injections.
James went over to the Applegate's this morning to see how Jimmie is doing on the grading in preparation for digging the footings for the basement floor. This is the only part of the project that will probably get done this winter. James has decided he is going to get a crew together and pour the concrete for the basement. We need the money, and he says he can save Applegate's some money. I told him not to sell himself too cheap.
While James was gone to the Applegate's, Chuck took our garbage to the dump. James still has the $20 I gave him to give to Chuck.
James also had a meeting with Ravi Gupta, via the phone, today. He says he thinks he has convinced Ravi that he knows what he is doing and that they can begin doing some work on the house starting in the New Year.
I told James I was frustrated that we had these two "big" jobs and we were not making any money. Maybe that's what motivated him to have these two meetings.
James replaced a post today on his work on the railing, It was quite an endeavor, as the post was quite heavy. I always marvel at him and what he can accomplish.
Sometimes my life sounds like a broken record, playing the same song over and over again. Today I did laundry, I blogged, and wrapped gifts for Joe, Paul, and Adam. I tripled the recipe for green bean casserole and sent the casserole to the church with James. I had asked him earlier if he minded if we didn't go to the party and he said that was fine. When he got home from delivering the green beans he was singing a different tune. He commented on the beautiful decorations, the people, and the delicious looking food, including chicken, brisket, and pulled pork. I told him he was making me feel guilty and reminded him that we had decided earlier not to go. I guess being there even for just a few minutes helped him to feel the Christmas spirit.
Tom and I watched the newest Hallmark movie this evening, "A Suite Holiday Romance," starring Jesse Schram. I'm usually not a fan of hers but I actually liked her in this movie.
