A good day
Sep. 5th, 2021 12:05 amToday was a good day. I finished applying the second coat of stain to the pieces of the new bookshelf I'm building; that's all the staining that needed to be done. It's not a professional job, of course, but it looks fine. I'll let the pieces dry for a few days, maybe a week, and then put the whole thing together. It'll be great to be able to alphabetize and shelve all our movies!
I'll work on more shelves soon, if possible. I've heard that the price of wood has gone way up, but we'll see.
I also barbecued, and the burgers and hot dogs came out great. My technique has continued to improve. The burgers are smaller now (intentionally), but tender and juicy. Tonight I had Sebastian help by making the fries and some onion rings. I need to get him moving on learning to drive.
All in all I'm feeling good. Hopeful. For the first time in a long while.
