We wore ourselves out this weekend. Saturday we painted the dining room (I took pics with the film camera and am getting them put on CD, so I can show off soon) until we were about ready to collapse.
I spilled paint on the dining room rug on two separate occasions – D was thrilled with me – but fortunately we’re planning to replace it with an antique rug anyway. D the obsessive spill-cleaner kept trying to scrub at it without success, and I kept saying, “Stop that! Get back to painting!”
On Sunday, my parents and sister – and friend S – came to lunch, so we spent the morning cleaning mildew off the hall walls and ceiling (mildew, not mold – duh, me), vacuuming and sweeping and Clorox ReadyMopping, folding an enormous backlog of clean clothes, grocery shopping and cooking. We even made the bed.
Then my sis spent the night, so I stayed up late talking.
Today, I am wearing down. For once, I will probably go to bed at 8 o’clock with D. Sleepy time … ahhhhh. Only four and a half hours to go.
