Zoey has woken me up at just before five three days this week. She asks in her grunt language to be swaddled, so I do, and then I lay there until six and get up knowing that sleep is over. I got up at a quarter till this time because I know that I’ll be doing more of the same staring at the ceiling anyway. Might as well get up and drink my coffee unrushed and unbothered.

So I have some tasks to write down, we’re doing some things to the house that need to get done by the 18th. Most will me done this weekend. In no particular order:

Paint the Deck
Finish stripping the porch
Level the stove
Install new air conditioner upstairs
Install grounded outlet behind TV
Change oil in scooter
Move old TV upstairs
Hang light in bedroom

Not a bad list, I’ve started on some, like stripping the deck already and we just need to pick up the AC from Circuit City since it’s already ordered. Some parts on m list have sat for months, like the scooter oil, so we’ll see how it all shakes out. I’m going to try to take pictures of some of the more dynamic projects, like the deck and the porch.
