Staining the walls in California

I don't know if you can see in this picture but Bill has been putting up walls. Outter walls first and now he has started on the inner walls. This is going to be our bedroom - we have walls! The door is on the left across from what will be the bathroom.



This weekend was the first time I had been out to the country since before Christmas. On Saturday and Sunday I walked the property while Bill was working on those walls.... boy I can tell I've not done anything for a while! I had to stop several times for a break on the way around (it's quite hilly) but I made it! It took about an hour on Saturday but only about 48 minutes on Sunday.

I'm having a love/hate relationship with the Weight Watchers active link I got for Christmas. I finished my evaluation week and so far I've only gotten 5 extra points and that was the day I went to the gym! All that hiking in the woods and I got nothing! I think I may have found the problem though - location of the monitor. I'm going to start wearing it on my waistband instead of in my pocket. I'll have to see how that goes.

Bill is also refinishing my kitchen table. He has the first stain on it but I think it needs another coat. He just has the top started - then he'll have to do the legs and then poly the whole thing. Hopefully it warms up again soon so he can put the poly on - it has to be at least 70 for it to dry properly.

Tom called this morning to tell me that he leaves at 3:30AM for California for a month of playing in the dessert. They will be practicing being deployed. His unit will be going to Affganistan in August so this is their practice run - he doesn't know if he will have service in the dessert so this may be my last chance to talk with him for a while. :(

Otherwise all is well here.
