Well, managed to finish off the kitchen wall, dining room, hallway and bathroom by rolling the walls, still need to touch up some. My bathroom is almost ready to be closed up for non-use showing. That was yesterday. Today, painted the edges of three of the livingroom walls and the entry and did laundry and packed up eight boxes of books and took them downstairs. Only dumped 1/4 can of paint once and took a tumble off the step ladder so I expect bruises. Tomorrow I hope to finish up the edges in the bedroom and the back bathroom and get it cleaned up. Then I'll be ready for the cedar chips and taking on all of the gardens. Bob has the weed and feed going, the holes in the walls filled and so many miscellaneous tasks like putting the closet doors back on its hard to keep track of them all. He's got the ads in on a bunch of big items we need sold via Craigslist so that's progress. We think we may list the house next week, we'll discuss it with the real estate agent. The cute lady that bought Bob's old PC said, you're painting all the bright colors aren't you? And we said, no, we were told neutral and boy are we boringly neutral -- ballerina white walls with devonshire cream trim -- white with a hint of brown, with white with a hint of hmm, blue maybe? A good match. When Bob removed the medicine cabinet the old wall color matched the new one. I guess we did a good job finding contractor white.
So exhausted, we played hooky and saw the new Star Trek movie. I wish they didn't always make them play like nostalgic homecoming dances. Still, it had great action and the new cast looked and sounded remarkably like the old cast. And Leonard Nimoy is sure looking old and wise. Fun. The sushi place was good, Bob was pleased and I had a meal and a snack with something out of the ordinary.
Plus, had a nice chat with my mom who came by for a visit and with my sister who I managed to connect with since she was painting my mom's house as a Mother's Day present.
