Well, I was going to post a picture or two tonight, but blogger isn't cooperating. I had a very busy Sunday. I went to my aunt's house to help her paint her dining room and hallway leading to her garage. Since they were last painted a few years ago, her son moved in, moved out, and moved back in again, creating many marks along some of the walls. She got tired of looking at them, and wanted her place to be done before Thanksgiving, so Sunday was P-Day (Painting Day).
I arrived about 9:30am, she fed me breakfast (gooey eggs, sausage, an english muffin and juice), then we got to work. We still had to take her pictures down, move plants and stuff away from one wall by her sliding glass doors, and tape around every doorway. Most of the moving and taping was my job, lol. She did some of the baseboard taping and started edging that part, while I started doing the edging by the ceiling. Then she followed behind me and did the rolling. We work well together, have painted several times together.
We finished about 3:30, sat and rested for a few minutes, then had our late lunch/early dinner of pot roast, carrots and potatoes. We still had to remove all the tape, and put everything back before collapsing exhaausted. I finally left for home about 6:15, and just made it home in time for The Amazing Race.
I woke up this morning, and boy howdy did my legs hurt! I hobbled around all day, my body definitely didn't like all the trips up and down the ladder, and getting up and down onto the floor, lol. But her condo looks MUCH better now. I'm going to go take another couple of Aleve before I head to bed. Hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow. Oh! That reminds me...I need to pick up some Aleve for Kerry!
Hope everyone has a great week!

ReplyDeleteHmm...not sure how I missed this post yesterday morning when I was going thru the ones I read. :( But I sure do hope your body is feeling much better today. I bet your aunt's place looks great now.
ReplyDeleteKaren likes to paint. She just helped my sister paint some rooms in a house they bought recently, and she's going to paint some rooms for my mother soon. (Karen's birthday gift to her)
