Paint!
Ugh I am so fucking tired. And stressed. And nothing kills my muses quite as efficiently as stress. So I'm also getting a bit depressed b/c they've abandoned me. And because between work and fucking driving to and from work and then working on the damned house I don't have time to visit w/my peoples or even attempt to revive the muses at least for arpeeness.
On the upside. Our master bath is coming along nicely. Ronnie scraped off the old peeling paint and did some retexturing where necessary. Then I sealed it with primer. Ronnie wanted to paint it white, but I balked and picked out a light neutral mossy green color. Then I almost had a heart attack when I first put it on the wall and it looked minty. Soooo not what I'd wanted!! But it looks good once its dry. You can't even really tell it's green, which is what I wanted. I just put the second coat on tonight tho I'll have to go back with an actual brush and touch up some of the tight spots I couldn't get with the roller or the edger thingee. But it's done enough that he can put the mirror back on the wall and put the new light fixtures up -- Yay!! Hopefully the paint will still look okay when I see it under proper lighting!
Then I get to move on to the guest bathroom. Yipee. And of course there's more after that. All this work and stress had better fucking pay off when we put the damned house on the market!! And if his regional manager doesn't get off her ass and announce the opening for the new theatre so he can officially apply for it I'm going to scream. And if she doesn't give him this theatre I'm going to cry.
But right now, I'm going to take my contacts out and go to bed b/c I'm tired and stressed and whiny and cranky and I have to get up at 6am to go to work tomorrow. Being a grown up sucks!
