Well, that certainly would be a better t-shirt slogan than "i love to screw". Ha! Sorry, I just had to type that. I'm usually G rated so forgive me.
Today started out with a 6:30am walk with Joanne to Starbucks for a latte. I had to 1. get caffeine and 2. get some exercise. I know my arms and shoulders are getting toned, but I needed to walk and get the heart pumping. It was fun getting to know her better. She's really funny. We walked and talked and admired the gorgeous homes of the Garden District here. So beautiful. It reminds me of Charleston, SC. Old money and old mansions.
So, today at the Peres house we got the entry way drywall completed. Tomorrow, Ginger and I will be finishing off the other closet in the master bath. Towards the end of the day, we started another ceiling. I hate doing ceilings. Physically, they are the most challenging due to the fact that your arms are extended above your head most of the time either measuring, holding up the drywall,or screwing (haha).
Today I worked with Carolyn and April. April had originally been scheduled to work with Habitat's Musician's Village, but they had so many volunteers and very little organization/supervision. So she left and came back to Peres house. The three of us worked pretty well together. I think April and I bonded over the fact that we like to do this stuff right -- not just so so, but really well.
Melissa Peres' sister brought us croissants with turkey and ham today for lunch. What a sweet gesture. She was really appreciative of what we are doing for her sister. This woman lives in the other FEMA trailer in front of her mom's house. She's in there with a husband and 2 little boys.
So, we had a good time working today (or at least I did). I find myself to be the silly one of the group. I like to make jokes or make people laugh. Big surprise to those of you who know me.
(OH, let me tell you that Ginger brings Coke Zero in a cooler and now she knows I love it and she's always offering it to me. I love her for this.)
Ginger again took me home and I got a hot shower at the Guest House finally. At first, I thought it wasn't going to happen because I got in when it was cool and then the water pressure just went kapoot. Nothing. Then all of a sudden it came back....and hot and with a vengeance. I stayed in for awhile just because I needed to savor it in case it wouldn't happen again soon.
Tonight, we're heading to the French Quarter for dinner, beignets and a little shopping. I am excited. I can't come here without seeing it.
Sorry for not calling some of you. I am usually so tired at the end of my days here...
