thursday
Good morning. I slept pretty well last night - at least I got through the night and stayed in bed till 5 am.
I got 3 large trays and 2 small trays grouted yesterday so I'm nearly halfway done with the grouting. My fingernails look terrible with black stains under them. I cut them short last night. We (mainly just me, cause Dave has only one good hand) cleaned, cut, blanched and froze the green beans after supper. I was on my feet a lot of the day yesterday and by bedtime my back was aching. Today is a new day. Going hiking with Jan at Falling Run and then tonight we're having dinner with Chloe at Sakura in Clarion.
New painting set up. I'm going to let the jelly cup gouache paints completely dry out and use them alongside the other set of gouache paints that I already know I like. I'll have a total of 48 different colors then. I'm looking forward to doing a swatch test with all of them together to compare next.
