Week 5: Kane's Birthday
Back to: Week 4: The Grind Next: Week 5: Kara's Birthday
Sunday... Today, we all enjoyed a day off together. Kara was the first one up. She made herself a muffin and then worked out until she was exhausted. Then, she went to the pool to swim. It really isn't too good an idea to try to swim when already exhausted. Kara returned home again shortly.



Our shower broke this morning after Kara used it. We had to call a repairman to come and fix it. This isn't the first time it's broken, and it won't be the last. However, Billy and I just aren't mechanical. Maybe Kane will tinker with it when he gets older. Though, as clumsy as he is, it would probably be best if he doesn't either. At least Kane doesn't mind cleaning up messes.



After paying the bills and the repairman, there was enough money left over to add on to the house again. I don't want to imply that I fit a certain stereotype about women who love to shop, but I do tend to spend a lot of money when I shop. I'll save up for awhile and then I spend most of our savings buying the best we can get. Anyway, I wanted a cozier bedroom for Billy and I. I hope the passionate red isn't too "over the top," though I do want the romance to stay in our marriage. I will probably change the bedding someday to a pattern with just a touch of red. Billy's painting of me looks so great on the wall. I can't wait to add a painting of him. (My first attempt at his portrait was not kept!)



The room that we had been sleeping in was huge. We remodeled a bit and rearranged furniture. Now our limited kitchen and dining furniture occupy that space. I wonder if anyone will recognize the repainted and upholstered dining chair as a reading room knock-off? Someday soon we should get a cabinet or two and a real stove, but for now, my art is a very big part of my life and cooking would take me away from that for too long. Maybe Kara will gain an interest in cooking. Somehow that doesn't fit an athletic image that well, but those who care about their body should care about what they eat, right?



The biggest news today is that Kane is now a teenager. He has grown up so very quickly. (Am I getting that old?) He got a job at the supermarket and planted a few seeds I had collected. I hope his garden does well.
