Not-So-Great Weekend
This weekend could have been better. It wasn’t horrible…but it wasn’t great either.
It started off with Walker getting Pink Eye and having to leave school early. He also has a bit of a cold and he had a pretty high fever all weekend long. It’s never fun when he’s sick and it’s really tough to see him having a rough time. It’s really depressing to not see him running around and laughing and smiling like he usually does.
A while ago, Margaret and I finally chose a color to paint the inside of our house. So I decided to begin the project this week. On Saturday I began the prep work of masking things off, etc… in the living room. I had originally planned to do 2-3 walls in there and then finish the rest up later. I quickly realized that there would be no way for me to paint down there during the day with Walker running around, so I’d have to do it at night. Because of this I decided to cut it down to just one wall. I started painting around 8:30pm and discovered that painting at night isn’t so great. The low light makes it really hard to make things out and I was having trouble distinguishing what I had already painted and whether or not I was getting good enough coverage. I finished the wall at around 12:30am, cleaned everything up and went to bed.
The next morning I woke up and realized that the color we had chosen (which looked great on the swatch) was WAY too light! You could barely tell the difference between the new paint color and the plain white walls that we had! I though it was because of the low light playing tricks on me last night and the paint not being dried, but it looks like we are going to have to find another, darker color to go with. Oh well, at least I only did one wall!!
Hopefully Walker starts feeling better, we pick out a nice new color for the walls and we have a good week ahead of us!
(So far, so good!)
