Companion post

Andrea detailed her day according to the clock. She thought it would be interesting for me to do the same.

12:00 – unsuccessful at going to sleep due to heat
2:30 – I finally go to sleep
9:?? – Sarah calls, Andrea talks to her for a couple minutes
9:35 – Emma talks to me, I respond non-commitally
10:00 – I get up
10:30 – I start trimming the hedge
11:00 – I’m sweating profusely and decide to finish to a certain consistency and leave the hedge for cooler temps
11:20 – I reach that point in the hedge and decide I should eat breakfast
11:35 – I leave to go to the building supply store to find out if they were the ones who left me a phone message on Monday (to tell me the items I ordered are in)
11:45 – I stop at Tim horton’s for a coffee but don’t stay
11:50 – I get to the building supply store and have a bizarre conversation with customer service but in the process did find out that they had called me
12:15 – I start to rip apart some more of the bathroom
12:45 – start lunch cooking and ask Meaghan to turn the stove off when the timer goes off
12:50 – continue in the bathroom while lunch is cooking
1:15 – I stop and eat lunch
1:25 – I start back in the bathroom and come to the conclusion that I need a different cutting tip for the dremel tool.
1:30 – I go to Canadian Tire and pick out a set of tips
2:00 – I start back in the bathroom again and make much better progress
2:50 – I had collected up a whole assortment of tools and it was getting difficult to navigate through them.
2:51 – I put away the tools I won’t be using again for a while
3:20 – I’m still working in the bathroom but have gotten to a point where it would be ok to stop
3:23 – I start cleaning up debris and tools
3:25 – Andrea and I go pick up sink and tub
4:00 – we get sink & tub in house
4:05 – we go pick up Sarah from work
4:20 – back home, we discover (porcelain) sink has crack
4:27 – I call the store
4:35 – I take sink back to store, get another. I open the box on this one & check it one before taking it.
4:55 – I realize that somewhere in all the lifting of porcelain items, I had irritated a disc and a few muscles in my back
5:00 – I get an irritating but brief call from a telemarketer
5:10 – because I know where the telemarketer got our info, I call customer service for the company that we deal with and requested that they not provide our personal info.
5:15 – Andrea massages my back
5:20 – using a few pillows, I find a comfortable position on the couch
6:25 – Andrea wakes me up by asking, “Are you ready to eat supper?”
6:50 – I start back at the hedge
7:15 – I decide there are too many insects having their supper on my legs
7:20 – I switch from shorts to pants
7:25 – back to the hedge
8:00 – Addison comes out to give me a hand and cleans up the trimmings
8:45 – I get to another good spot to stop trimming the hedge
9:00 – have coffee, and take a few minutes to rest
9:30 – talk to Andrea outside while I take the clothes off the line
9:45 – take tub and sink upstairs
9:50 – I give Emma her 10 minute warning
10:00 – I say to Emma, “Let’s go have stories.” Emma says, “I want Meaghan to read me stories.”
10:05 – Emma says, “Daddy, I need you.”
10:06 – I get to her room and she says, “I need you to read me stories.”
10:29 – We count to 10 (which is often the last thing we do before I say the final goodnight).
10:35 – I relax for a few minutes with Andrea watching ‘The Shopping Bags’
10:55 – Emma comes downstairs to get a drink
11:00 – Emma stops in the living room on her way back to bed
11:01 – Emma says, “‘The Shopping Bags’. I love ‘The Shopping Bags’. Which one is it? I want to watch it.”
11:05 – Emma goes to bed. Andrea notes that the channel was running 5 minutes off
11:10 – I go to the bathroom to get cleaned up for the night
12:00 – Andrea starts drifting off to sleep
12:20 – I get up to write this post
12:45 – I actually start this post
1:29 – I finish this post
1:30 – I proof read the post
1:40 – I finish correcting the post

Yeah. Weekend are like this.
