Today was steamy! Balt and I were out the door walking before 6am. I knew that we would need to get out early if we wanted to get a good walk in. I walked 3 miles and came drenched in sweat. I got right to painting. When we first moved in 8 years ago, I painted one wall in Monika's room half blue and half white in order to show where the half way mark was for her and Jessi, in order to assist in the sharing of the room. I decided to paint over the blue with the white and needed about 4 coats of paint, which meant needing to wait between coats for paint to dry. I went to the pool for a while mid morning while paint was drying. It may be the funnest way to wait for paint to dry ever! Balt loved helping me out and by the end of the day had all over. I will be honest, there is a ton of dog hair rolled up on those walls.
In between the 3rd and 4th coat of paint coats, I finished steam cleaning the carpets. There is a pretty residue of mint green left behind, but it is not that obnoxious. I can live with it for a year. I had planned to redo the floors downstairs next year, I'll just have to get an overhaul upstairs too. As my mother reminded me today, it's only money. There are some things you can't replace. I ordered birch tree decals for the green wall from Amazon but they will not be delivered for a few weeks which is dissappointing but in the mean time, I need new sheets and more pillows. I may go to Johnson Creek tomorrow. I finished the day enjoying a short walk, watching a movie with Balt and having cheese and rice crackers for dinner. I worked a bit on the school paper and made plans for a yearbook meeting. I'll be in bed early tonight so that Balt and I can get up early again tomorrow to beat the heat!
