When was it, I think it was on the random thoughts thread....maybe around Thanksgiving, I was moaning about tearing down wallpaper in the kitchen?
Well, however long that took, we finished the kitchen project toady. Sue Unit ceremoniously put the curtains back up. Unit now has an all-white kitchen, a month later. The hideous wallpaper is gone - I should have gone to the barber shop that day instead of sitting in the chair while Unit cut my hair and I was looking at the wall and realizing how ugly the wallpaper was.
From all the sanding and washing all that dadgum glue off of the wall, and then all the painting....I get exercise at work just jumping to conclusions and overstepping my bounds. That's all the exercise I normally get. I am hurt - I mean hurt - I can't lift my arms over my head. My knees from all the ladder climbing.....Ow Ow OW.
But we have lots to be thankful for. We have each other, and Spankie the Dawg and Frecklee the Cat and we DO have a house to live in. Albeit a cradle of physical pain when we're trying to fix it up. Unit said, "Honey? I noticed one other thing..." I said, "Stop looking. Just STOP."
