smokingbootLesson 1: We hate decorating.
Lesson 2: Valspar is cheap for a reason.
Last week was strange and difficult. R took the extra time off and we were going to decorate/go for walks etc. But he was so tired that for the first three days he slept through into the afternoons, and after that, he was still exhausted, just conscious for longer. So no walks together and only one day's painting the front room between us. Returning to work, he's still so tired, currently haunted by weird dreams he can't recall. I am carrying on with the painting. That's not a problem, but the paint is just rubbish. It's going to need at least one more coat. Then there's the coving and and skirting to re-paint, cos all the tape in the world hasn't stopped some disasters.
My editing lags but OK, again, a break from it may help. The group I am part of? I am ashamed not to contribute more than I do, but even the little I add seems like a lot. Giving it up would feel like real failure, so I'm not doing it...Yet. I am annoyed with my own lack of vitality.
Andrew is up and around! He wants cider lollies, cherryade, iced coffee and soda water! Apparently all that's a while off yet,57 days on a ventilator, they say the rule of thumb is it takes the same amount of time to get over it.
Plus, a lost city has been discovered in Egypt. I should be there! I should be on an expedition somewhere!
