Day 163 - sickness in the house

Day 163 - was a gloomy overcast day which threatened to rain but never did until a brief sprinkle at 5:30. Sheldon stayed home sick in bed. I ran the girls to school then to work. At lunch after the advice of Coreena and Sharon to check out Sears since I liked my last set, I drove to the new sears store where I found this lovely little set, Kenmore Elite in Night Sky Blue

I then Made lunch for sick Sheldon then ran to PJ's to see their stock as I have to decide on a set by tomorrow so Dustin can build the cabinets in the room. A stop at the flooring store to find back splash, here are a few choices, note colors did not come true

 this is slate

 this is white tumbled travertine

 this is a crazy basket type fun glossier one

and this one is hard to see but a dark striated long narrow tile which I thinks wins out at this point
the final stop was at the Home Hardware to grab a can of paint for the half bath in my favorite color, BM Polar Sky.

While I was doing house stuff, Sheldon sat at the emergency room and finally was seen after 3 hours, sent off with antibiotics prescription he picked it up , came home at 4:30 and went to bed.

Back to the house to nail down prices for washer & dryer and start the blog for today. Steel head trout, mixed grain rice and sauteed zucchini was the fabulously delicious supper I created for Britt, the sick fellow and I. Shaina worked 4-9 tonight so missed it but plans to indulge when she gets home. After supper Britt created a hair mask she sported for 2 hours topped off with a nice face mask. After supper Sheldon hit the tub and bed hoping to sleep this illness off. I continued to research direct drive Vs belt driven washers, perused pinterest for ideas and had a hot bath while reading House and Home magazine.

Her hair mask recipe...
In a bowl, mash the banana, then add 1 tbsp. honey, one egg and half a cup of flat beer. Mix it well with a fork, then smooth in generously over your scalp and coat the length of hair. Tie your hair up, and cover with a shower cap if desired to avoid any mess. Let the mixture soak in for at least 90 minutes, then rinse off with clean water. The banana and egg nourish the hair, while the honey moisturizes and the beer provides volume and thickness.

Day 162 - odds and ends and 4-H

Day 162 was an odd overcast day but warm 17. Work and school were the main focus. I picked up all the shower parts which arrived in 1 week even though they thought 5-6 weeks. This was followed by a quick supper and off to ranch at 5 with a Tims tea in hand. Britt caught the two horses while Sheldon hooked the trailer up and I met with Dustin to fine tune the laundry room for him to order stuff. The fellows are finishing up the doors and such.'

Sheldon stayed at the ranch to trench the last 4 feet to the Telus pole for hook up tomorrow.Then he worked on hooking up the waterer fitting insulation, dumping dirt around base, etc but found after all the checking the bolts while it was setting up, they are out a fraction so needs to drill out the holes a bit to get to fit.

Back to town at 5:45 where I unloaded the horses at the Ag grounds and Britt tacked them up. Lessons were moved up to 6:15 start due to the sun going down earlier. Lucky for me, Sharon drove just her car in so I borrowed it to run get Shaina from work. The girls finished up their lessons and we were back at the ranch by 7:45 (noting it is dark by 7:30 now ;-( ). They washed both Julio and KD's wounds and sprayed with blue spray while I scooped poop and Sheldon unhooked the trailer.

Rick planned to meet us at 8 but at 8:20 he arrived where we had a meeting by flashlight  to figure where to place showers heads and body wash jets. The girls were very impressed to wait in the truck but one managed to nap while the other did homework.

8:45 we headed back to town again, where S hit the tub and then bed feeling sick, B the shower and Shaina finally had supper. I updated the blog and enjoyed a Big Rock Lime! and finished the final book Mockingjay in the Hunger Games series, thumbs up!! and found more great decorating ideas on Pinterest! check it out but beware, it is addictive :-)
