Finding drafts

Finding where these drafts are coming from tonight, as I walk around “putzing” and dusting since I can’t sleep, isn’t as hard with the weather like it is and the wind picking up. I’ve got a pad of paper that I am writing where the drafts are that need to be taken care of. I haven’t decided how yet, but I’ll figure it out.

I know I’ve got to get some sleep soon, but it will come after I write, find cracks and crevasses that not air tight, at least for a little while.

Next week I’ll fix these little problems and I bet even the dust will be cut down and the heating bill may even get lower. Old homestead houses, are hard to keep up some times.

Not getting it done

There was so much I wanted to get done today, but didn’t. I’ve decide to pack some of my collections away for awhile, since the mill is going to start running full blast soon and that means loads of chafe and dust coming into the house from cracks and crevices that are not even apparent.

With surgeries coming up soon, I know I’m not going to be able to do much if any lifting or actually much of anything for awhile. My doctor said at least three months. Great. If I do anything at all, I have to be very very careful.

So, packing things away and making storage space is exactly what I’m going to be doing after this weekend. I’ve got some great ideas and will write some of them down if they work well. Until Monday however, I’m going to take the next few days to relax and just, regroup and also search for those tiny cracks and crevices that let in unwanted dust and chafe, and fix that problem somehow.
