I may never learn

I know I have been void of pictures lately.  They take time and I have not used much time on the blog. 
Tonight is night 7 for Terry in the hospital.  It looks like she will come home tomorrow.  We need some things to happen first so have our fingers crossed and prayers are being said.
It seems like I am light years away from that AM FP coffee but really it is only about 14 hours.  I know I could get a gold medal for being the best at trashing a house in a short time.  I spent most of the morning picking up, ordering, putting away, cleaning and other things too as I can NOT have the house trashed when Terry comes home.  Well I did get a few things done but really not much.  I drove to Shakopee this afternoon and visited Terry for about 3 hours.  We talked, went a walk down the halls, had a foot rub and then said good bye.  She is ready to come home but really not ready to come home.  How about that for a statement!!
The lawn got mowed this evening and one small project got finished so some good came of the day.  Also got the drain for the kitchen sink fixed.  It was no small job and I planned to hire a plumber but decided to go to the store and buy every possible pipe and then fix it.  I planned to then return the ones I did not use.  It worked!!!!!  I spent $80 and returned $43 so for $37 I got the job done.  A plumber I am not, a electrician I am not and come to think of it many things I am not BUT a woodworker I am.
I may never learn.  Here is the thing.  Over and over and over and over I put in my mind expectations of people and of course that is a losing exercise.  Why?  Well for one thing the people don't know what they are, for another thing the expectations may not be good or right and for another thing well I know there is another reason but it escapes me.  Anyway I did it again.  Details--not necessary but yesterday my "down" day may have been a result of expectations that I had.  Anyway I think I am over it and I will just never do it again until it happens again!!!
A few days ago I started out with 10 windows, 20 sashes and 5 window trims to prime and paint.  Today the count down is two windows and 4 sashes to prime and paint, two windows and 4 sashes to paint and 2 window trims to paint.  Progress, yes, enough-maybe but I need to finish soon.
I have said to myself for the last several nights I need to take Advil PM and get a good night sleep.  Well I have not done that and I think every night for the last week I have looked at the clock at least 6-8 times.  Last night I thought it may be time to get up soon and then looked at the clock which read 11:11 PM--what the heck.  Anyway the porch light is on, the windows are secure and the blinds are shut so lights out.
