Old enough I may never see our country back.
He moved the pillow down while I was out, & now he's curled up waiting for me to let him go to bed.
He knows I'm looking at him while I type this, & just opened his eyes to check.

A little drywall repair work at the new (old) house. The previous owner was a minimally talented DIY'r, & he had attached shelves everywhere, occasionally screwed into studs, but frequently he used glue & drywall screws into nothing. So lots of repairs.

Jack supervised my complex assembly of these 2 chairs. The left arm of the 2nd chair was missing a threaded insert from the frame, so I was unable to completely assemble the chair. Just look at all the pieces in the one photo.

Well I made baked stuffed portobellos, but we ate them with some Asti before I got a photo. My homemade apple pie w/ice cream after dinner.

Well, thought I'd be able to use the subfloor in the last 8' of bedroom, but I just can't. It is clearly NOT solid enough to please me. So, 3 more sheets of 4x8 plywood, another day of cutting out old floor.

Pulling up the old subfloor from my bedroom, next install 6 sheets of 4x8x22/32 plywood, then the LVP goes down.

Jack's had a full day. After lunch off to Lowe's, then the new house to supervise as I removed shelves & baseboard, home for dinner, a brisk walk along the canal, & now some pre-bedtine rest 😁

Went over to the new house today with the pup, me bed the washer & dryer back to the proper removed a bunch of shelving the previous owners had put up, stepped on a nail. You'd think an immediate care would be open for morning burns, but I guess I'll just hope I don't need a tetanus shot.

8 years ago I made 2 pumpkin pies, a cherry pie, an apple pie, & these 3 pumpkin in pumpkin pies.

My apple pie fresh out of the oven. Tomorrow morning 2 pumpkin pies, my recipe is a fairly big divergence from Libby, then my vegetarian Italian casserole for dinner -- not a turkey fan.

Apple pie in the oven. My filling recipe. My crusts look & taste good, brushed with egg white, sprinkled with sugar, & some butter.

Switching to my winter sheets, so I folded the set of sheets. I used to iron them. The fitted sheet is much easier to fold when you are alone, the flat top sheet never wants to fold neatly.

It's going to take a looong time for his fur to grow back after his surgery. It's been almost 2 months.
