It’s mostly renovation today. Yesterday, I received a call from Robert with Baxter Restoration wanting to know if it was OK for his crew to come by and install the pull out drawers. Of course it was! They showed up around 3 pm and were out of the house by 4 pm. They corrected a couple of glitches (uneven cabinet door, a misfired brad, and then installed five pull outs. I no longer live in boxes!
The new pull outs are more substantial than my old ones and they are better anchored to the sides of the cabinets. The old pull outs had cheap plastic attachments to the sides and they were all coming apart. These new pull outs are also soft-close, like the cabinet doors.
The only thing that remains is for the spice rack to arrive and be installed. Robert is already talking about a final walk-through but I have my concerns about the new spice rack, otherwise it would already be here.
So, what do you do during the pandemic? I cook. I also bake. For some weird reason I got a hankering for cinnamon rolls. I have a recipe for a “sweet” dough and another for the filling. I think they turned out well. My only problem is eating just one a day.
Speaking of the pandemic, Florida had another glitch in the reporting system. All of a sudden, a couple of days were added to the daily total of new cases and we shot past 5,000. Now it’s back down but still over 2,000 new cases reported in Florida. I assume it will continue to seesaw. What is stunning is to see the new case per 100,000 population for North and South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Whether it is the weather or something else, my tendon has been screaming at me lately. We had a couple of really rainy days and then the humidity and temperature broke. It’s now 73° F in the morning and I’m sure the humidity is less than 80%. It makes my morning walk much more pleasurable. Maybe the slight temperature change is causing my tendon to act up. I notice it during swimming my laps and also when walking around the house with my arm hanging down.
I spent the last two days wiping down walls in the living room. The house is covered in dust from the renovation and I’ve started the cleaning process. I take everything off the walls and move the furniture away and wash the wall with a solution of Murphy’s Oil. I also clean the baseboard.

I carefully remove each and clean the frame and then the glass. One wall was particularly time consuming.
So far, in the living room, I’ve done three of the four walls. Today I did two and the real hard thing was the bookcase. I had to remove every book, dust, polish, and replace each book. That took a couple of hours. I think I need to get rid of a few dozen books.
I’ll try to finish the fourth wall tomorrow and then that only leaves me the three walls of the vestibule in front, the linen closet, the three walls of the hallway, the four walls of the bathroom, my bedroom’s four walls, the bedroom closet, the guest room four walls and the guest room closet. Looks like the rest of the pandemic is planned out for me.
I should get through by Thanksgiving, give or take a year.
Call me paranoid, but I checked on the status of my ballot again today. It’s not that I don’t trust people – but I really don’t.
My song recommendation for today is Patty Page’s “Detour.”
Stay tuned and stay safe!
