Our days seem to be getting less productive.

The work week has started.  It's pretty shitty actually.  Mike texted me this morning and said, "I'd rather be working on the house."  I couldn't have agreed more.  To help ease our minds, we both made calls on jobs we need to hire out while we were at work today.  Mike scheduled for the carpet installer to come measure tomorrow morning before work and I scheduled for the floor refinisher to come on Friday.  It's not much, but at least we felt like we accomplished something during the day.

It's going to be hard getting anything done during the week after work, but we'll try our best not to get distracted.  For example, tonight on my way home from work, I decided to stop at Rosa's furniture, because they're going out of business.  Anyone who knows me, knows I love a sale.  Mike hates my thrifty ways sometimes.  So anyway, I stop in just to browse and before I know it I've called Mike to meet me there because I found an over the range microwave I liked.  Mike shows up and 45 minutes later we not only bought the microwave, but we bought a refrigerator and a dishwasher.  All things we didn't really need, but we got a smokin' deal on them.

By the time all this was over it was almost 7:30, we still hadn't eaten, nor had we gotten anything done on the day by day TO DO list I made during a boring meeting at work today.  Once we actually got to the house, we got the ball rolling.  Mike heated pizza in the George Foreman grill he bought me for Christmas and I started the second coat of paint in the living room.  We ate, I painted some and then Mike had to leave for band practice, which is now conveniently located across the street at Bill's house.  While Mike was gone, I finished the second coat and taped and trimmed the other two walls in the living room.  Upon Mike's return I set him to work rolling the living room walls and I headed upstairs to start sanding the trim in our bedroom to prep it for paint.  Mike joined me and we sanded and cleaned the trim and decided to call it a night around 11.  Not too bad for getting a late start, but we're already behind schedule on the to do list.  So be it.
