Monday, April 17

5:55 a.m.  - The weather is just awful.  The winds continue to roar, and the temps are very cold, and I just want it to stop.  Winter was supposed to be behind us.  

Yesterday afternoon/evening, I set out to try to work on the camper couch/sleeper.  I got it out into the middle of the camper and got it apart.  I attempted to scratch the bad fake leather covering off wherever I could, and I even started applying new covering to one section of the sofa.  I don't think the simple fix is going to be permanent...I'm not sure it will last very long at all, but the $60 for the covering and a little time on my part is worth buying something new for over $1,000.  If it doesn't work, I'm just out a little money and a little time.

Today, I'm not sure about anything.  I'm not sure how the school atmosphere is going to be.  I'm not sure if there will be softball...if this weather lingers, I certainly hope not.  So it's possible I may be out working on that sofa couch again this afternoon.  If I'm not umpiring this afternoon, I'd like to get that project done, the couch put back together and anchored in place, the floor cleaned up, and all back to normal to see how the little DIY project works out.
