Between Jeannie and me, mostly Jeannie, we got the primer on ceiling and walls. We even did the wall that needs to be replaced, because I won't have the money to do the job right for another year and will just go with what is there. Strategically placed curtains will cover some of the bad paneling around the windows. The weather was perfect and I opened several windows to keep the air circulating.
I had a very restless night with terrible leg cramps and pain in my abdominal muscles. I can't believe how different it is between now and one year ago when I painted all the other rooms. Jeanne did the ceiling and I did a couple of walls and trim, but she did the biggest part of it. She wants to come back today and get the first coat of ceiling paint going. The room is certainly brighter with no more wood paneling showing.
I sat in my recliner for a couple of hours last night in a near catatonic state. I'll be glad when this is all finished and then I will start on finishing up the kitchen. All I need to do there is the cabinet and drawer fronts. Then I'm going get rid of all painting supplies, and never attempt it again!
Later after we had finished, Donald brought the girls over, and Steve, Meg & Liam stopped by. The boys got my new thermostat working and we all went over to Straw Hat Pizza for dinner. My sister Amy also joined us, and it was a nice time. We always have a great time there, nostalgia playing a big part of it, and the food is always good. So I'm back at home now, ready to drop into bed soon. What a difference a couple coats of paint can make on a room, and especially covering 50 year old paneling.
- I Drug Myself To Walmart
There are a number of items I want to buy but haven't found them elsewhere, or if I found them they cost way more than I wanted to pay. So I made my "about 4x-a-year-trip" to Walmart. Nothing has changed there - I had several things on...
- Holding On To My Energy
Since Jeannie & Donald were taking the girls to Santa Cruz for the day, they wouldn't be going to the gym. I decided I would go on my own because I've been feeling so good for a couple of days after exercising. It wasn't at...
- Getting What I Always Wanted!
For years now I've been interested in getting a Jitterbug cell phone, and this morning I called and placed my order. I used my Tracfone to place the call as I still had almost 300 minutes to use in only 5 days. Would you believe that with...

Bayfield Al wrote a very interesting post yesterday on the aging process, and I experienced it this morning in a novel way. I was sitting in my rocker/recliner and for some reason looked up at the ceiling, where I saw a small bug crawling slowly...
