Door Jamb. Bam a lam. ♫
My behavior while doing heavy labor is generally as follows:
- Listen to entire albums. Alexa has good speakers and the music upgrade that lets me play almost anything I want to hear, and I've always preferred to listen to albums in their original order, so I just ask her to play whichever whole album feels right. Multiple times. Honestly, I tend to get so fixated that I associate areas with albums.
- Drinking Mountain Dew Kickstart out of wine glasses. The blue one's my favorite.
Unfortunately, I often forget to eat, or I promise myself food when I'm done but don't finish and next thing I know I'm scrambling to get dinner on the table before Zorro gets home, not having eaten a morsel of food all day. Sometimes I get dizzy; sometimes I even fall down. Today I had the good sense to front-load food. I stopped by my favorite Indian place, hidden under the street across from the mall, and then headed home to do some hard work on the jambs.
Current status:
16 of 16 jambs' trim removed
15 of 16 jambs deglossed
4 of 16 jambs sanded
0 of 16 jambs primed
0 of 16 jambs painted
I'll need to pick up the pace if I want to get this done on time, but maybe I should eat first, going forward.
