I actually have some real thoughts in my head today, but as I’m leaving for C-ville in a few minutes, I don’t think I have time to elaborate them. Suffice it to say that my thoughts relate to focus, a familiar bible story, and my own concerns about how to productively fill the next 4-5 months without melting away from boredom. I need purpose in my life again!!
Yesterday, I did finally manage to get a gallon of paint. This time a cute little old man was working the paint counter. We chatted while he mixed my paint. Also, I think the paint matching devices they now have are way cool! I just put my little sample in the machine and it pulled up the closest match. And it’s pretty darn close! I could hardly tell the difference. Last night, Eric painted one coat over the entire stencil border and one whole wall. It’s amazing how dingy a yellow wall can get after 5 years and how quickly a fresh coat of paint will brighten it right back up!
I was going to clean my kitchen and sweep the kitchen floor yesterday, but just as I finished loading the dishwasher, Michelle called me! We chatted for a good long time, and as a result, my floors are still filthy. I guess I’ll have to work on that later. Maybe tomorrow. 
Okay, well, I have to run. Happy Friday!
When you get farther along, you could make up some freezer meals for yourself. Then you would have some quick and easy meals to prepare for after people stop bringing you meals. Don’t forget some desserts as well. You will be craving those. 🙂
so glad that you were able to get matching paint and that you like how it’s turning out!! i
yellow!
@faithchick – Kirby would be if he wasn’t a little old YMCA desk worker.
Creative writing is your passion. So – – – as Marla said – – – write.
little old men at the paint counter are one of my all time favorite things. i’m not joking. i’ve had some of the sweetest old gents mix paint for me. I hope matt’s a cute little old hardware store worker when he grows up.
I love how fresh paint brightens up a room! Enjoy!
Look forward to hearing your thoughts later. Be careful not to strain yourself cleaning the floors!
Just wait until you have two small children throwing food on your floor, and then you really won’t have time to clean them!!
You should write…
