Ever since spring sprung around here, I've been on a mission to get my patio in order. This poor patio of mine, I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. I started working on it a few years ago, but nothing ever got finished. Last year we finally (it wasn't the first try) got the pavers just right, now my attention has turned to making it pretty and pulling it all together.
I spent the majority of my weekend working on the three doors across the back of my house, which all open to the patio. I now have 3 more black doors and 3 repaired & re-screened screen doors. Thanks to a cat and a little dog, the screen on two of the doors was shredded. I re-screened them with pet screen, or something like that, which is supposed to be pet proof...we'll see.
I wanted to get to oiling the wood on the screen doors and my farmhouse table top, but I had a little accident. I stepped on a bee. Sounds like a harmless enough incident, right? It hurt like hell and my foot swelled up, which should have been the end of it. This morning (Sunday) it still hurt like hell and was quite swollen. I took a look and saw that it was getting infected (i won't go into details). Ick! I've never had anything like that happen before, but I guess on the bottom of the foot it can easily happen. I'm always barefoot, but I'm starting to reconsider.
So here I am with my foot propped up trying to entertain myself with TV and some hand sewing, which is KILLING ME! Sitting still when I'd rather be outside painting my patio furniture (also on the agenda for this weekend) is no fun at all. Sitting still in general is not my thing. I suppose I could start folding the laundry, but I'm not that desperate yet!
