Self Portrait Sunday for February 8, 2009
I’ve spent ten hours today cleaning up messes. Cousin Todd put “popcorn” on the ceilings of the guest room, my room and the master bath this morning. We had taped of margins and put plastic sheeting all over the place before he started, but the stuff gets everywhere. He’s also been doing some texturing in my room and bathroom, so sheetrock mud was also splattered around. I got everything as clean as I could and then started on the floor in the guest bath, which had spatters of paint, adhesives, wax, wood stain & a few mystery stains as well (since it’s a bathroom I don’t really want to think too much about those.) Todd is going fishing tomorrow, so I’m hoping to get my room & bathroom painted while he’s out, then work on some other clean-up work related to closing down my business. I’m so looking forward to all of this being done so I can get on with my life. I hope to be telling you about a new business in the near future, but since nothing is solid yet it would be premature to tell you much about it right now. I can tell you that it’s not a Subway franchise, though that’s an attractive idea and a business I wouldn’t mind being involved in.
Ten p.m. I’m hoping to get in another hour or so of cleaning & stuff before I go to bed. I might squeeze in a visit with the other Self Portrait Sunday participants, too, but there’s much to do so that might have to wait until tomorrow. Right now I think I’ll go see if I can get popcorn and mud off of the electrical outlets without shutting off the power or frying myself.
