It's been quite a couple weeks. I don't want to repeat anytime soon. LOL My step daughter is coming from AZ on July 10th for her annual visit. John decided it would be nice to put the laminate floor in before her visist. I said let's wait until after. No lets do it now. So this meant moving a bunch of stuff out of the bedroom. It is also my craft room.. Ok stuff now piled in living room. I think it was raining the day we started. SOOO he brought the saw into the living room.

I went into the room ro check some things and move a few breakable items... I did NOT realize he had take the register vent out of the floor... Yep I stepped backwards and into it. (with my good leg) my foot slipped down into the vent (luckily I had socks and sweats on. and the metal was bent out not just cut off. I was stuck.. but as I was stepping backwards with my good leg I twisted when i fell. John heard me let out a yell.. I guess he yelled are you ok.. I didn't hear him.. and was busily trying to figure out if I was OK and trying to get my leg out of the vent. Ok.. foot out, stand up.. everything feels ok.. foot/ankel all seem to be going in the proper direction (lol) and I can stand on it.. NO pain.

Laminate flooring is not as easy to put in as it shows on TV.... :Tantrum: ok we worked on it until we pooped out. Two days later we are both so sore...

I think when I fell and twisted I bruised my tail bone.. OUCH ...

Cleaning and dusting on hold ... as the living room has saw dust.. and heaps of stuff from the bedroom.. we finished the floor on the 7th at 6:30 PM. I am not trying to get it together for her visit..

John's son is going to bring his travel trailer upfor her to stay in, in our front yard. The granddaughters will probably spend an overnight too.

So this morning, I decided to finish cleaning as much as I can get down. The sliding glass door is open the dogs can go in and out. I set up the rug shampooer.. Come out of the bathroom .... and Yetta our Nubian goat is in the middle of my Family Room... i grab one of the dog leashes .. and Mindy our Aussie decides to help me "herd" her. Yetta does NOT like to be herded by Mindy.. Well I decided since she was escaping from her fence, I would tie her out on a lead so I wouldn't have to find her in the family room or eating the apple trees all day.

I found a spot under a Big Cedar tree across the drive, lots of blackberry bushes, some grass and things for her to munch on. Got her a pan of water and set it up so she wouldn't knock it over. She has been "happy all day. as she could see me coming in and out of the house to empty carpet shampoo water and talk to her.

Well one more day to get done what I can.. and hopefully I will not have a goat in the Family room...lol
