The other day I had had enough. Everyone is whirling dervishing around me and I’m just slouching around. I thought I could contribute by putting all the storm windows in. Let me explain what that means. Our house is old and still retains many of its original acutriments (which is why we like it). One of those are the original screen and storm windows that are wooden framed and are actually swapped out for one another. We have some windows that have been updated to aluminum screen/storm sliders and those are pretty easy - you just slide the screen up and the storm down. The others - not so easy. They’re all unique and not all are well marked so you have to guess where they go, not to mention all the screens were painted in when all the trim was painted. Thanks to Bill for getting those screens in for us - we needed them!
So, I did that. Put in all the storm windows on two floors that needed to be put in. Then I started hauling junk from the basement to the 20-yard dumpster in our driveway. After all of that, I had to take a two-hour nap. I really have limited amounts of energy. It didn’t help that the night before I was up between 1:30 and 4:00. I need to take that ativan maybe every night just to be sure I can sleep. Finally did something and paid the price. But man, it was good exercise.
