the much too short vacation to indialand seems to have given me new energy. i've started painting again! i started with the boards around the door in the new bathroom. and now i'm moving on to the kitchen sofa that's been half sandpapered for 6 moths or so. at the same time i'll do the ugly bedside tables we bought together with the ugly bed. and i've bought paint to the ceilings, the doors, the brown ugly mirror from the grandmother, the huge writing desk that's going to be transformed into a sewing/writing/reading/working table and to finish the bed. next i'll force the husband to replace all the ugly boards around doors and windows, and paint the walls in the ugly hallway, and take away the ugly carpet from the stairs, and the ugly floor upstairs. and now it feels fun again!  ¶ 3:17 PM
