norsegirlSpent a lot of today sitting around chatting with my mum. Nana is driving her bonkers, nothing new there.
This morning I took advantage of the fact that we left the car outside and opened the garage doors up to let in the cool night breeze and spent my time making a six board chest based on the class notes from the class I took at last weekend's event. I fiddled a bit with the dimensions so I'd have shorter legs and slightly more storage space. I made some mistakes and learned some things along the way and of course used it as an excuse to buy more tools (I needed more clamps for it to go together well). Version 2.0 should be better. Still, this one will be perfectly useful as soon as I get a final sanding pass and figure out how I want to finish it.
Picked up a laptop stand last night so I can stop putting the laptop on my ever-decreasing lap and dropping it on the floor. This will be better for the computer, and means a lot less sweating for me, so I'm happy with that purchase.
Did a bit of work cleaning the post-ant-invasion kitchen. Still need to do a little in there before I can put things away, but at least there was some progress.
Other than that no real news to report.
