I worked 9 straight days to get my 4 days off. Friday went pretty well, I

relaxed and caught up on my shows (The Bachelor and Downton Abbey). So

that was nice. But Saturday and Sunday me and hubby spent at our rental

house getting it cleaned up for our new tenant moving in this Friday. 

We wanted to install a new stainless sink there as it looks like he took steel wool

to clean and it looked bad.....well, is a odd size so none found. So I worked on it and it looks better

so we decided to install a new bathroom sink with vanity to replace the sink that

has no pedestal, just juts off the wall with exposed pipes under it, so we updated and

it looks nice. Hubby installed a deadbolt on the walkout basement door. 

I had to restore the cheery wood living room floor, it was so dull and scratched, 

when I lived there it was gorgeous....I got it back to it`s beauty. We had to chase

all over to find more drain plugs for the tub and a sink, ? maybe his dog chewed them up? 

We had to buy new trash can lids, his dog chewed them up. Most of our plants

outside, don`t know....vines choked the Forsythia and all the Peonies. The dog

chewed the trunk of the Smoke Tree, it is history. I planted it as a twig

and was sp proud it finally got to be 8 feet tall. Mostly our tenant did take care

of things inside and shampooed all the carpets and cleaned the house pretty good, and he neve

paid rent late, so most of it was good. Anyway, I am tired! I spent today my last day

off cleaning my own house. Now I will work 10 days in a row...but it is my choice, to 

get my 4 off.

I'm convinced that a "day off" in adulthood just doesn't mean what I thought it did as a teenager. ;)

That sounds like a a lot of work!! Its a shame things you put into it didnt last though.
