My alone time is coming to an end. My productivity was epic these past few days so I’m writing this post to give myself a little pat on the back. Melissa left for her weekend away on Thursday, and Flash left Friday evening. Thursday I went to home depot and picked up some painting supplies and a can of paint. I know perfectly well the one does not go to Home Depot on a Friday night or Saturday during a weekend in the early summer. The paint department is always understaffed and therefore a zoo and you will easily spend a couple hours standing around waiting for paint. On Friday after work I suckered Flash into doing a trip to Ikea with me as he has an SUV so the boxes fit better, and I needed someone to help me carry things. Unlike Home Depot in which people are stocking up on what they need to have a productive Saturday working on their house and yard, nobody wants to spend their Friday night at Ikea shopping for unassembled furniture. As you can see I have a slight dislike of crowds. So, Flash leaves and my productive weekend begins:
Friday Night
assembled Ikea TV stand
removed old cupboard knobs, sanded and painted over where they’d been

Home alone + huge to do list + unplugging your TV and not being able to move it back by yourself = getting shit done.
