Life is too short to drink bad wine.

Today was day 2 1/2 of painting my bedroom, I've taken most of the week off except Friday, thankfully the new WoW expansion is decidedly not dropping tomorrow. On Saturday, I didn't get back till about 2pm from taking the girl to her riding so I mostly did cleaning out of stuff and a bit of filling cracks and holes so we could get started on Sunday. Sunday again was a lot of prep work, more spackle, the walls really were in bad shape we've had problems with the plaster coming loose over a lot of studs. Also started to cut in the dark blue ceiling paint around the top border so I could get started paint rolling today. The concept is deep saturated Moroccan colours. The ceiling is a midnight blue, the walls mostly a warm grey putty. We're thinking of doing some accents in a deep pink tangerine but haven't made the final decision. We broke down the bed frame today, it's an old fashioned metal frame and I think we are going to spray that with gold paint. It's probably going to be next week before I can move in again. The first coat of paint in on 4/5ths of the ceiling. We are leaving the closets on one end, finishing the painting in the rest of the room then the closets will get pushed into the middle of the room and all the stuff stored behind them goes somewhere else. probably under the roof where we have storage space. Once all that is in we need to go find curtain fabric, I'm not sure if the fabric stores are considered essential, we shall have to see, if not that has to wait till December. The curtains are probably going to be a dark brick red, possibly scarlet, depends on what we find.

Poor Kate is studying for the mid-term exams during her mid-term vacation because nothing says relaxation than cramming for exams. I'm still appalled at her workload. Our school system is so screwed up.
