Photo of the day:
So for today:
I found three old paint cups at son Mark’s house, He isn’t here but I decided to see if it was
possible to make them useable again.
The ones I cleaned are like the red one. There is a magnet that holds the brush when you are not using it.
They sell for about $3 apiece. It took me a total of about 5 hours, but they
are all useable now.
Two had about ½ inch of dried paint in the bottom and sides several
different colors. Was it worth it? I have made as much as $50 an hour AND as low
as $.50. The $50 an hour was NOT a steady
job, but a single, one time thing. LOL
I
interrupt……..
Before I continue, I will mention
something else about travel. As I type and then go out to ‘waste’ some of my
time we are waiting until 3PM when we head to an IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT, one
that you girls will understand, it is Sherry’s beautician’s appt. Now to men no big deal, but to ladies that
is a most important time. You probably
have a special beautician you like who ‘understands’ your head of hair! Not everyone can satisfy every lady. Sherry’s
go-to beautician is our sweet granddaughter Sherece who is an EXPERT.
On the road that ‘that one’ is hard to find. But she found Mary in
Wildwood and when within 30 miles of there, we head out. So today is the day and
she is excited.
Now back to my wasting time. Some
folks will not understand, but if I am doing nothing and spending time on a
project that satisfies my ego, that is not really wasting time, it is making
use of my time. I am talking TO ME.
LOL. Many people have said to me when
something quits working, “Time to buy another one!” Not me, in my mind something says ‘FIX it!’
There are many spray paint cans around here that do not work. I have
spent a couple hours cleaning the stopped-up tips using an air compressor and
very fine steel wire cut from my wire brush.
I saved 6 and threw 4 away.
I did do something Son Mark will appreciate on his return; I added a florescent
light and more outlets for power tools in the playhouse, translated is ‘work
room.’

It's good that you are so skilled at different jobs and fixing things. I provide work for tradesmen. I try plumbing, gardening, painting and so on; and when it breaks down I get a tradesman to fix it.
God bless.
We are more of do it yourselfers. The older I get the less patience I have though. Nick the same. Nick has “used” stuff stashed away “incase” he might need it later.
Yes, it is important to us ladies to have a good hair dresser and for me a nail tech. I plan to try to do my own nails starting this month but I’m gonna miss the pampering of someone else doing it. I wish I could just hire a hair dresser to come wash and message my head each week. Ha.

Oh, I totally 'get' the Importance of finding a hairdresser who knows what he/she is doing. The gal I'm seeing's business cards read, "Hair Artist." She's not the best, but neither am I willing to pay $100+ every four weeks like I used to when I had a full-time job.
I've not tried my hand at painting anything, but would venture if you're focused and/or enjoying your work, it's NOT a waste of time!
I'm not the average woman when it comes to a hairdresser.
Ken cuts my hair! :)
Your granddaughter is so pretty!!!
No grass growing under your feet! It's great to be so handy! I totally understand the hair appointment thing. When I used to take call for surgery if I was assigned on my hair day all I needed to do was ask if someone would take my call until after the appointment. Never was refused! We all looked out for each other's hair appointments!
