January 27. Slept in until 6:30 this a.m. Then got up and fixed Daddy’s pancakes, had my pre-breakfast drinks and quiet time, fixed and ate my breakfast. Then Daniel came (about 8:00) to start putting the enamel coat on our bedroom walls. He and Daddy got the paint ready, and Daddy helped me put plywood on the schoolroom floor to put our mattresses on. I then got the bed made up. (We will sleep in there for a couple nights until the strong paint smell dies down.) Then I spent a little more time praying before Daddy and I checked Revelation 19. After that, there was kitchen work to do—wash and peel kaukau and yams and put them in the pressure cooker to cook for Daniel’s and my dinner. Prepare uxai and the rest of the carrots and put them in the large, stainless steel skillet to cook for the three of us. Cook spaghetti and make a meat sauce for it for Daddy’s dinner. Everything was ready a little after 12:00, and by then, Daniel had finished up trimming around the edges of the bedroom walls and filling in the cracks (most of them). So we all sat down to relax and eat together. Then there was kitchen cleanup to do, and Daniel went back to work, ready now to use the roller and paint the big spaces of the walls. That went much faster than the trim, and in a couple hours he had finished the job. After I cleaned up the kitchen, I made the corrections for Revelation 19 and transferred some photos to the computer. Then I lay down for a nap. When I got up from nap, Daniel had just finished the painting job and was ready to clean up. While he was cleaning up, I found a couple winter photos to choose from for painting the top of my painting desk, and also started writing in my journal. After Daniel left, Daddy and I had a fruit snack. Before supper, I erased and washed the chalkboard in the meeting room, in hopes of repainting both that one and the schoolroom chalkboard tomorrow. There were lots of dishes to wash this evening so that took a good while. Then I wrote a short e-mail to C&C and sent a list for the updates for e-mailing. January 28. First thing I noticed when I went to the kitchen this morning and opened the cupboard doors was a horrible smell. Oooooh, what is that smell? Oh, no! A dead rat! Did the rat die under the cupboard somehow? But how did he get under there? Or maybe he is under the house under the cupboard. How long is this smell going to stay around? Praise the Lord for giving us such a nice warm, sunny day for doing laundry. When laundry was done and hanging out in the sun, Daddy changed the oil in the generator, and I did just a little touch-up painting on the bedroom wall. Then I put undercoat on my painting desk and on the shelf to go above the desk to hold my paints and other supplies, and touched up the bottom of the kitchen cupboard doors as they were so stained and ugly-looking. After that, Daddy and I checked Revelation 20 and 21. We praise the Lord for His help in completing those two chapters. Then it was dinner time. Warmed up and ate dinner, and then got the clothes in before having a nap. After nap, Daddy helped me put the frame back up around the *pitpit section of the east wall of our bedroom, and then put up the shelf over my painting desk. When that was done, we enjoyed a nice fruit snack. Then I wrote in my journal and made corrections in the Revelation file. *Pitpit -- a reed, somewhat similar to bamboo, but smaller After supper, I did the dishes and then painted the shelf, the one Daddy had helped me put up this afternoon, with shades of blue. Then I made a new journal book as my current one is almost full, and I also got a picture ready to print and copy to paint on top of my painting desk. After that, I got a couple weeks’ worth of journal notes ready to send to Connie.
