painting

wall 2 is done. i injured my elbow and my knee, both on the left side. the elbow stings, and the knee has this nasty-looking bruise on it. both were caused by the ladder. i also have little spots of green paint all over me. i haven't looked in a mirror; i might have it all over my face as well. but i feel good. i like the color more than i expected. plus i'm halfway done. more than halfway i'd actually say. i did the longest wall that had no doors or windows. so it had more square footage than the others.

the next wall is the closet wall. i only have to tape at the top and bottom, and i'll free-hand around the door. there's no trim or door -- just an opening -- so it's pretty easy. wall 4 is the door wall. it'll be the hardest to tape. going around the trim of the door, especially since it isn't flat. there is a wire that runs along all of the trim. but the wall is shorter than the others. there is a bump-out for the vent. and since i decided to not paint the bump-out i don't have to go around the vent opening. i thought painting it would make my room seem smaller. it would pull that wall in and shrink the entire space.

now all i have to do for the rest of today is move my furniture around in preparation for painting tomorrow.

... and my homework for my economic class.
