Patio Kitties

The patio kitties took advantage of this nice weather.  Dennis came in at 3:45 and reported Snuggles and Harriet are still out in the yard somewhere.  Not to worry, they know when it’s time to come in and where food, water and shelter is.

SandpaperI have ordered more sandpaper for our Jellas electric sander.  No, I don’t think I will need it for my current project.  What I found out is that the option of putting on the attachment with the finger-sized specialized sandpaper to get into tight quarters is not to be found online.  I used the model number to seek and search.  The sandpaper pads and the re-fills are scored.  If and when I would use the attachment on the tip of the sander there is a screw to allow the black attachment to be put on.  The small finger-sized sandpaper is held on with Velcro much like the full sized sandpaper is.  The bottom portion of the scored replacement needs to stay on the sander with the holes matching up for the residue to go into the holding tank.  I ordered the sandpaper replacement packages with the idea that when the small amount of the finger-sized sandpaper is gone, I can cut out replacements from the full sized sheets.  It doesn’t hurt to be prepared.

Supper is more of the chicken rueben dish that we had last night.  It was well received.

I occasionally have restless leg syndrome when I go to bed, but only in the left leg.  It may be a coincidence or . . . an effect of the stroke.  When it does happen, the left leg literally jumps.  I get up out of bed and sit in my rocker and massage the leg starting at the knee going towards the foot until it subsides.

Years ago, there was an over-the-counter, in pill form, that contained quinine.  It worked very well.  It is no longer on the market.

With supper already in the works, I spent some time in the studio, dinking around.  I have a one-time-left of sanding on the wooden trunk.  My sewing machine has been covered since I had it serviced in Bird Island.  When the sanding is done, I will get it uncovered for some sewing.  The dust collector of the sander works great.  As a testament to that, my glasses have not needed to be cleaned due to a sawdust issue and I do have my face right down in it.  I did not want or need the sewing machine ready to run just yet.

With that I will take my leave.  ♥
