talk about accomplishment!

i've finally decided to paint my room. i was supposed to paint it before i moved in but that didn't work out (do to lack of funds). but today was the day!!!! a few days ago i finally decided on the lighter of the two colors i had swatched all over my walls. then yesterday i trekked to home depot to get my prepping supplies. i bought painter's tape. i completely forgot about the spackle and the trowel. and last night i got incredibly drunk so this morning was a no-go. but by lunchtime i was on my way to home depot to pick up my paint! i got everything i needed and more, spent more than i planned to, and walked it all home. that took all of the energy i had so i slowly started to organize myself and to prep. i moved my furniture out of the way, used my new ladder to tape the window sill, trim, and ceiling, and washed down the wall. i even had to spackle some nail holes. all this took some time and the last of my energy. so i took a break and made a sandwich. when i finally started painting it was 5.30pm, and getting dark. two coats of paint only took me two hours! not bad, not bad. also i only painted one wall. i was going to paint one wall each weekend and take a whole month to paint my room, but painting was so quick that i might just press through and finish it this week. painting a wall a day. we'll see how that goes. but right now i'm reveling in my sense of accomplishment. woo me!
