Yesterday was his birthday, and we went to see Harry Potter at the Imax. Was splendid. We went downtown early and got our tickets, then went and found a nearby cafe I had coupons for. That is something of a joke, because I like to find a 'place in the book' and try it out.
Had a coupon for the Imax too. These days, every penny counts.
This moving for Paladin has been really a wonderful experience. He has had Me with him every step of the way..looking at the house's, or the pics, then choosing the paint colors.. a very nice combination of muted greys. He came in the other eve, and was wearing the exact colors of the wall behind him.. It amused Me and I mentioned that it was like camouflage and he laughed.
I have let him skip his posts here for now as all his energy has been directed at the business of his new home. One of the wonderful things about it, is that it is only 6 miles from where we live now, instead of the 20somthing it was. Just a hop, skip and a jump down a country road too.
I have to say that Paladin has very nice taste. I am impressed with his colors and such. It has been enjoyable watching him measure, study and pick out things.
And it was fun helping him get things masked and then doing the painting. I did the ceiling of the laundry room and the edgeing in the living room and master bedroom. Nice to look at it an know I helped. *smile* And that I helped him.. as he has done so many, many wonderful things for Me.
He had a bit of a temperature problem in a week of 100 degree temps.. His thermostat stopped working, the bolts that came with the new ceiling fan were to short, and his floor fan didn't put out a breeze past 3 feet. It was 87 degrees at midnite inside. Ugggh.
But.. that is now fixed.. he got the thermostat, We got him a nice black and silver tower fan for his present, and got the new bolts picked up. As of this eve, the thermostat was working again!
He is still having computer probs and has boxes from top to bottom, but is getting things sorted and up and running. So I do expect him to be back with us before too much longer.
On a fun note.. there is a row of big hooks running the length of his new garage.. and there was a screw in the middle of the living room in what did turn out to be a stud. *grin* Gave Me some wonderful thoughts of thins to do once he is more settled in.
I was supposed to have been with him this weekend, but, a long time friend popped into town, so our weekend has been moved to some future time. We'll have Mon and Wed as usual.
Well, the hour is late and our company has gone off to bed. I am lucky to be off tomorrow, but dear Paladin not only has to work, but it is billing, so has to work late. I hope that he'll be able to catch up and rest well over the weekend.
Our best wishes to all,
and to all a good nite,
Mystress
