A Morning Note
Day 5
By around 10pm my feet calmed down and I could walk across the room again. Holy moly. I can get a bit snarky when I'm in pain like last night so let's hope we can keep that to a minimum the next five days.
The bottom line is that I am not a follower type. I'm not a snob or think I know everything before I start here at the lighthouse, but really. Come on.
Ok, so new day and new attitude. The trainer returns before opening this morning at 10am. There's a contractor meeting here in the keeper quarters at 10:30 to discuss some renovation project they have going. I have seen the proposed picture. Looks good. If I ever find my phone again I'll take a picture of what they currently have. There's a strange set-up for the basement. It kind of looks like Captain Hook designed it to hold his captives before making them walk the plank.
So, here we go. Mr. Quilter Cook and I will be happy when we are off on our own to run the lighthouse. I'll let you know how it goes tonight. So, stay tuned.
We have no tv or cell phone signal so don't bother trying to text or call. WIFI is it. So I have nothing to do but read, cross stitch and blog in the evenings. Ok, after the closing duties. LOL. So, I'll be back to blog frequently.
Oh, by the way, thanks for allowing me to vent last night. Light keeping isn't for whimps. This may toughen me up.
The Quilter Cook
This morning I have light keeper wife duties...yes, I know. but we're playing along here remember?
On the list:
REsweep the front walks, boardwalks, picnic areas and clean up and wipe down all picnic tables.
Clean out the cigarette butt can down on beach if anything except the butts are inside. (Ok...let's think that over for a moment...)
Shake outside rugs (there are 3 gigantic commercial ones) and bring back inside and lay out on sidewalk as the day before.
*************
Morning Duties: (From the days when Mission Point Lighthouse was in operation)
Light keeper Only: ( After evening and before opening. He's also been up carrying oil up and down the steep steps to lamp in tower and on watch all night )
Walk property and inspect area for trash
Unlock gates at appropriate time.
Light keeper's Assistant (Yeah, the WIFE after she makes breakfast, cleans the house, gets the kids organized after also being up in the night carrying hot oil up to the lamp in the tower....)
Morning Gardening Chores '
Feed chickens or other animals allowed on property
Prepare lighthouse by sweeping, dusting and other duties as assigned for visitors
Assist as needed with light keeper chores as directed.
**********
Directed? I have an issue with that one. Mr. Quilter Cook knows better than to even have a facial expression over that last one.
Until tonight! Enjoy your day!
