Free lunches taste the best.
Happy Birthday, Brenda.

Well... the ONLY thing I did today was sand the walls down and clean up.
I really hate sanding. I'll have to let my friend know that I'd rather be swimming in mouse poop again than what I did today.
I'm not going to prime today. Don't want to push it after how I felt the last two days, even though I feel fine now. I'll just prime it tomorrow and put the mud up where it needs to go later in the day. At least the sanding I'll have to do for the 2nd round will be quick and easy.
Still some hours in the day left though. I think I'm going to round up the stuff I didn't need so I can return it for some store credit and pick up one or two things that I do need. Maybe do some grocery shopping while I'm out too.

They do. Thanks SIX. This was an early birthday lunch as my birthday is Thursday but they are busy that day.

Gross. It's 48 degrees out right now. Cold highs the next two days but it warms up a bit after that for a little while before winter follows.
My days of being able to leave my paint can in the garage overnight are coming to an end. I should be done with them before that happens though.
Got up early and was going to get a jump start on the primer, but at 48 degrees I think I'll wait it out for a little while. It will be 51 in an hour and 55 in two hours.
Got my returns back last night and bought another tube of watertite for the 6 boards I got to do the repairs to the upper-outer wall in the shed once they're installed. Freakin' cost $1 more than I'd been buying it for all summer (Thanks Joe*). But I did get 3 50packs of reusable cloths for $0.99 after rebate and four fiberglass furnace filters for $1.29 each... both deals I wasn't expecting to run into while I was there, so I'm still winning.

Out for my walk on another beautiful September day. Suppose to be getting rain. Have to see if it arrives.

Back from my walk and I took myself out to lunch at a little Japanese place that I like. Teriyaki chicken rice bowl but too much even with me saying less rice and no miso soup. Have enough for supper tonight.

You'd rather swim in mouse poop? Wow, you must REALLY hate sanding, SIX!
Really busy today.

Yes. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE sanding.
Unfortunately, there will be more, but it shouldn't be too much. I got the walls primed today and I'll mud the corners and the few other spots tomorrow.
I thought I'd have that done already, but I spent most of the day primering in between the ceiling tiles while cutting in at the top. I'm not even close to finished with that. My friend's dad said to just prime the damaged spots we fixed, but I told him about how dirty it was between the tiles. He said there's nothing I can do about that. He doesn't know who he's talking to though. I'm going to paint that entire ceiling by hand 3 times before I'm finished and it will look perfect.
But the walls are primed. And it looks AWESOME. I'm on the verge of adding another room to my house after all these years and by the time I'm finished it will probably be the best room in the house.
