For the last week I've been working on building built in bookshelves in my upstairs library. Well, I admit, I didn't do it the easiest way, and I had to "unbuild" several times. My husband gave up on helping me with my "poorly engineered" project a couple days ago after getting it mostly built in the garage but then being unable to get it up the stairs. So anyway, I got some time to get it finished and let Mike have the baby for the evening. Long story short, I shot myself with the nail gun. It when in one side and out the other, but I didn't know that so I just whipped back and off the nail. Guess I'm glad I did that so that I didn't have to think about getting the nail out. But then I dripped blood on my shelf. I finished the shelf with a throbbing finger, and was much more wary of the gun after that. Today the finger still hurts, but hopefully I don't need a tetanus shot. Now I've got to paint it but hopefully by tomorrow there will be books on it!
In other news, yesterday was another measuring day. In the last four weeks I lost another 9lbs. and almost 2in. off my hips! Very exciting. Only .5 in. off my waist though so I think I might need to focus there a bit more. Yesterday I also invented a new drink. It's a knock off of the sparkling green tea that I really like, only it's calorie and high fructose corn syrup free! I took green tea, stevia, and a little lemon and lime and mixed it with club soda. Ta da! It could still use a little work, but it wasn't a bad substitute.
Oh dear....I hope your finger is ok! Good job on the weight loss, and your drink sounds yummy....its not calorie-free, but I bought some fruit-flavored syrups and mix them with club soda to make Italian Sodas...a lot cheaper than buying them at a coffee shop!
ReplyDeleteA lot cheaper for sure. Who knew adding bubbles to things could be so easy? I've opened up a whole new world of things here to myself! :)
