Pandemic, Tendon, Renovation – Part 44

31 October 2020

Happy Halloween! It’s scary out there. The U.S. hit a new high for new Covid cases today. Florida’s dropped but even the newspapers admitted the reason for the drop was the decrease in testing across the state. It seems The Donald was right. The more you test, the more cases appear. The less you test, the new case number drops. Who knew?

What’s even more scary is after yesterday’s blog, the spice rack showed up on my doorstep. I texted Robert of Baxter Restoration and he showed up around 9 am this morning to install it. The restoration is complete and I signed off that I was satisfied (pretty much but not completely). He’ll return once more for me to endorse the check from Citizens over to his company.

Of course, there were problems. However, he did get it installed. The rack was not from KraftMaid but it is well constructed and has 4 racks for spices instead of the two from the old KraftMaid rack. The real problem was the new cabinet door for the spice rack opened from the right side.

Robert had to remove the door and attach it directly to the spice rack so that when you pull the door open, the rack comes with it. That’s the way the old rack worked but I suspect KraftMaid changed that to a right-side opening. In any case, it’s installed and already filled with spices.

The real difference is I have to read the spice labels from the side on this one. As you can tell by some of the top row of spices, in the old rack, I had to read them from the top so I put labels on the top of the spices. Either way works.

As Robert worked on the installation, I started day 2 of the deep clean of the utility room. I started around 8:30 am and I quit at 5 pm. I had to take several long breaks but it was pretty much an all day project.

I pulled everything out from the walls (except the washer – I didn’t want to unbalance it) and washed the walls, the shelves, the window, and everything in between. The real hard part was removing everything from the shelves. I think I must have climbed the ladder 65 times today. I feel like I hiked the equivalent of a 15 mile hike – uphill.

I threw out a at least two 15 gallon garbage bags of stuff I didn’t really use. It made a little extra space on the shelves for me. It’s also interesting I found some things I didn’t remember having. I guess it’s a good thing to periodically clean that stuff out.

After cleaning the shelves on the right, I had to take a shower. At least I got everything arranged neatly.
This area was the afternoon project. It required another shower.

I have now cleaned everything in the house (except the A/C vents which don’t need it) with the exception of the garage. It can stay dirty for all I care. I need to take some Advil tonight so I’ll be able to function tomorrow. It seems perfect timing I completed the house cleaning on the same day the last installation was made and I signed off on the project. Not bad I guess from March until October 31st.

I think I’ll need the Advil, especially for my right arm. I put the reworked tendon to the test today. It seems everything I moved off the shelves today were heavy. I don’t know why I don’t have anything “light” in the utility room.

There was no walk this morning, no yoga and no swim. The cold front that was supposed to pass us last night and cause rain seems to have stalled over Fort Lauderdale. We’ve been under flood watch all day today and we’ve had several extreme downpours. More importantly, we had several lightning storms which dissuaded me from my morning walk.

Remember to set your clocks back tonight.

My song recommendation today is Vera Lynn’s “As Time Goes By.”

Stay tuned and stay safe!
