Weekend came and gone

I was looking toward the weekend.  It came and left too darn quickly.  I am thinking of working 4-10 hours which will leave me 3 days off during the weekend.  It could be a Monday or Friday.  This weekend we were cleaning and did some unpacking.  DB was tinkering around with his rust bucket truck.  I bathed the dogs and cleaned the shower stall.  After all that I was spent, didn’t want to do anything else.  Wanted to sit on the couch and waste the rest of the day away but no can do.  Have to vacuum.  Since this is not our house, I vacuum every weekend, just to keep it up with the cleaning in case the landlord/lady shows up unexpectedly.

DB actually put up the ceiling in the bedroom couple weeks ago.  Finally since he had been working weekends he had no time doing anything else in the house.  I told him the good thing about where we are at we don’t have to mow the grass.  If he had to mow the grass he would be dead meat.  Anyways, the ceiling fan in our bedroom is up.

Before:

The industrial floor fan we have been using for many years that drowns every damn noise

My electrician aka tool man at work installing the bracket for the fan

The “spectators” wondering where their dinner was since it was past 5 when we were working on this project. Missing one spectator is in the bathroom snoozing away by the air conditining.

Almost done

And all DONE. Lights and fan working perfect. It does not drown all the outside traffic noise but it sure is better than the floor fan.

The landlord brought the fan over several weeks ago. I thought he was going to set it up but DB said since we were the ones who requested for a ceiling fan, they bought it at Menards and delivered it for us. So DB said we should be putting it up ourselves.  But guess what???  The landlord and lady came over couple weeks ago impromptu-ly due to the water leakage problem.  They saw the  fan in the room up and apologize profusely saying they will pay us for installing it and also the pantry selves.  They said they should be doing it as landlords.    Thank the good Lord for such great landlord/lady.

Yesterday, Sunday I baked a cake.  I had too much time after I got done cooking for the week.  I made a banana upside down cake, recipe from Gertrude.  No pictures coz when I turned the cake over, it didn’t come off the pan, I had to bang the bottom of the pan, the cake broke loose and broke it did – into a few big pieces and also the coloring was kinda pale compare to Gert’s even though I used brown sugar!  Totally not worthy of pictures!!!  I really have to keep some dark brown sugar in the pantry.  But nevertheless, the cake tasted damn good.  Half the cake gone between the two of us.   Will have to try my sister’s choc mudd cake this weekend.
