big girl pants, chunks on driveway, George, hanging mirror, hanging things, Olympics, simple chore

lots of Olympics today…

and I hung up some beautiful glass hearts in the bedroom window… took me quite a while to get that done… searched all over for some tiny cup hooks but couldn’t find them… saw them recently but they were hiding today… ended up using screws that were too long but I wanted to get them up so that’s what got used…

made me think of how long it would take George to get a simple chore done… now I know what it was that took so long… finding the appropriate tools, measuring and putting in the screws/nails, measuring the string to be used and making sure that things were hanging at the right height…

mirror on door...

then, I hung a mirror on the inside of the hall closet door… another ten minute job, which took me over an hour to accomplish… and I’m not sure it is done exactly the way it should have been…

need to get a small battery powered drill as using my little screwdriver certainly added to the amount of time it took to get both these jobs done…

and finally, I went outside and moved chunks of snow from the end of the driveway… the city plows came by yesterday and cleared the street… they did a good job of clearing the end of the driveway but I wanted to be sure there was nothing blocking the car when I head out to work tomorrow morning… the sidewalk has about two feet of snow chunks at the street end, and I didn’t even try to move them… I did shovel the rest of the sidewalk and up to the driveway…

busy day wearing those big girl pants, no wonder I am ready for bed, lol…
