Day 9 was yesterday

And what I did was procrastinate and fend off the taunts of an antique secretary desk that badly needs to be stripped and refinished.

This picture is from about four months ago. Bastian took it outside for me, then he brought it back in. Last weekend, he took it outside for me. Teenage boys eat a lot, but they also move heavy things. It all works out.
I've been avoiding this project for ten years. This is a piece of furniture from my childhood and it's very Very Important. Which means I'll be reading the instructions.
