Stacking firewood, picking paint colors, and raking leaves in the dark.

I woke up early today so I could assist my parents in stacking at least two cords of firewood for the winter. My parents love their winter fires. After stacking wood, I went to Menards to buy specific lamp shades and look at closet construction materials for my spare bedroom. I then went to Home Depot to buy some window coverings. I was waiting for a worker to help trim some shades but I gave up and went with a temporary DIY in the bathroom.

At Home Depot, I bought sample bottles of two gray paints. The first gray was “gray frost” and the second one was “stargazer”. I thought “gray frost” was going to be perfect for the living room but it’s perfect for the bedroom, as it seems to have a blue tint to it. It looks like “stargazer” is going to work for the living room.

As soon as I returned home, I started raking leaves in the front yard. It was already dark out so I felt a bit like the weird neighbors from the movie, “The Burbs.” Raking in the dark was peaceful though. Then I decided to eat pancakes and ice cream while watching, “We Are Marshall.” Tomorrow I’m supposed to go see a lady about a dog!
