Numb again

haha @Pollyotter I already look like that but with completely grey hair too from all the plaster dust. I am painting it a light cream - much lighter than it was - and the trims are a grey-green colour. (called Mossy green). Tobes has been supervising all day but is sound asleep now on the back of the couch - he has had enough!

What kind of work do you do?

Oh wow what an interesting job to do and so important @Pollyotter It is people like you that actually keep the rest of us going in work - we would be nowhere without cleaners so hats off to you - that is not a job I could do. I could have done with you today - I have plaster dust everywhere - cleaned the majority of it up but will need a really good clean when I finsih the painting. Tobes did get a treat but he gets one every night

Yes I think the grey is a sign of things to come

True @Pollyotter

Just finished the walls and began on the ceiling but my arms have given up so no more painting tonight. I'll clean up soon then have a shower. I'll finish the ceiling in the morning then do another coat on the walls before I head out to do some grocery shopping. I am super tired now also so enough is enough.

What have you been up to tonight? Have you got your worm yet?

I was hoping you had gone to sleep @Pollyotter and am so pleased to hear you did

I had a giggle at your description of seeing your reflection - I used to tell the kids I had no mirrors in the house because I had broken them all looking in them - they thought it was hilarious lol

I am also glad you are home early today - 6 to 10 is a very, very long day and an early night and a little self care would certainy help.

I have finished the second coat on 2 of the walls - the biggest and around the window - but still need to do around the door and the other smaller wall. Haven't attacked the ceiling yet as my arms are really sore today and I have to do it all in small batches. I might go to Bunnings tomorrow and get an extension handle - save me going up and down the ladder. I am going to need more paint to do the other rooms eventually so can do that all at once.

Do what you need to take care of yourself @Pollyotter Sleeping last night was a good start. I understand how hard self care is when things really get on top of you but doing the bare essentials - eating, sleeping, showering - are all self care.

I have one wall to finish painting then the second coat is done. It will need a third coat but I will have to do that tomorrow along with the ceiling. Then I will clean everything up and do all the trims - so looks like another couple of days.
