aaaaaaaaaaaauuuugghh - the kiitchen returns
Every time I think "once I finish this part, it will start getting better" it turns out I am incorrect and it will in fact get much worse.
I did put two coats of paint on half the ceiling, and discovered the reason for the "disappearing color" for the second coat - it shows you where you've been, if you are painting white over, say, actual white. Instead of white over, in my case, substantially less filthy but still distinctly grubby white. Like that Feegle Not-so-wee-as-wee-Willy-Willy. the first coat was a revelation. The second coat improved it a lot. I can only get 1/2 way across the kitchen because all the stuff from the empty part is over there in the other part and it is preeety much impassable. So - half an accomplishment. And wholly aching shoulders and neck.
Then I realized how many things I had to continue taking off the walls because they needed washing and painting. So the impassable part of the kitchen has been accumulating things, as has the eating table, while the walls become models of abused and distressed minimalism. But they are clean, and tomorrow I will be able to paint them yellow! After I tape off the important parts. And finish puttying the holes.
Eventually I shall reach a nadir of chaos, and after that is will start getting better. I'm kind of counting on it.
Hey - Anybody want to buy a deck of Tarot cards? I made a Tarot of the North Atlantic last year, and I still have about 20 decks with leetle booklets. You can find me talking about it here, and for sale here.
