I've spent the day painting primer in the hallway. I thought it would be quick and easy but it was anything but. It wasn't like a straight length of wall or ceiling but was broken into many little sections divided by little molding strips. I'll be glad to get to the rest of the living room after two more coats of paint on this hallway.
I will have to get up before daylight tomorrow to get ready for my 8:40 a.m. appointment with the eye surgeon. I'm looking forward to seeing him and getting a measure of my progress, but I swear at won't ever make an appointment that early again.
The past week has been pledge week on the local PBS station, and I'm now watching a program with Victor Borge. I had forgotten how funny that man was and also how talented. I pledged last Sunday during a program of folk music from the late 50's and into the 60's. Many of the original singers came back, really showing their ages, of course. I had forgotten the names of most of the groups but knew just about every word of most of the songs.
I thought I was cold this morning on Lady's walk, and got even colder when I got back and found it was 28F. The temp did rise to about 51F later on in the day, and I hope most of the winter is this mild. Yeah, right!
- What Ya Gonna Do Now, Gypsy?
To borrow a phrase from Billy Bob, "Holy Crap!" Yesterday in the late afternoon, after climbing up and down the two steps on the ladder, reaching and stretching to reach the ceiling, I sat down with a cold Miller Hi Life. I take a long time to drink a...
- Enough Painting - It's Miller Time!
I finally got two coats of ceiling paint applied, and will do the first coat on the walls tomorrow. I'm tired and glad to sit down with a Miller High-Life. No Lite beer for me, Sam, I like the hi-test stuff! Is it really the 1st of December? I can't...
- Timing
Timing is everything, and it wasn't the right time last week for me to have eye surgery. I have become aware over the past couple of days that I need to see an oral surgeon and have a couple more molars pulled. I found a doctor nearby and have an...
- It Must Be The Planets!
I think they are probably aligned so as to give people lots of setbacks, and I have had my share. A woman from the carpet cleaning service called me at 11:00 this morning - she thought I had an afternoon appointment - and said that the owner had been...
- Why I'm Using A Separate Primer
I have had a lot of folks write to suggest I could cut my painting time by using one of the paints that already contains primer. I would do this if I was painting wallboard or plaster. The woman at Home Depot, who seems to be very knowledgeable as well...
