*waves* Ow
First off, welcome to everyone who added me from axiomnexus! The game's going great so far, and hopefully with the acceptance of my second character, I can have even more fun there!
Secondly, a bit of a rant (yeah, I kinda do this a lot).
I helped my mom move her stuff out of her room in preparation for some new wallpaper (or paint; she hasn't really decided). Man does she have a lot of linen and towels. -_- I mean, she collects bed-in-a-bags, bedsheets, towels, fancy plates, etc. But I digress.
At 9 p.m. she tells me, oh, uh, we have to strip the old wall paper off before the contractor comes in tomorrow morning.
...... WHAT?
After much disbelief over why the contractor couldn't do it himself (I'm still not sure why), I got to wallpaper stripping.
Ugh. First we had to peel the top layer of the wallpaper off. Then soak the bottom layer with warm water before peeling that off since the glue has to come undone. Aaaaaargh, five mind numbing hours of moving big, heavy furniture, dusting, and wallpaper wrangling. My finger nails hurt from all the picking I did. And that was with help from the butter knife (yeah, my dad only had one spatula-thingy so I got to use a butter knife).
It's 3:30 a.m. atm and I'm too sore to sleep (but I think I'm too sleepy to be coherent). And I had some leftover chicken at 1-something a.m. cuz we all got hungry. But it's done. OMG it's done.
Strange how renovations in one part of the house migrates to all different parts of the house. But I guess this old home needs the upgrades. I don't think we're even done with all the (unexpected) planned upgrades. Argh.
