who likes to paint?
The wireless card (old standard airport) for the iBook arrived yesterday. The wireless router arrived today.
The iBook is back online.
Went out and bought paint today at the new natural home store in town. Got "Cherry Ashes". It's not pink. It's sort of a dusty rose/mauve. There are grey tones in it. Stop saying that. It's NOT PINK!
Anyhow, I discovered that mollies/anchors are hard to remove, but spackling is easy. I'll spackle again tomorrow, since these were deep holes. Sand four hours later, wash the walls, and start taping! Hope to have painting done by Friday, so I'd *love* any help. It's a small room. I hope I get to bed at a reasonable hour tonight so that I can go over by noon tomorrow. In that case, I could have primer on by 6pm and a coat of paint on tomorrow night. If someone would come help me paint *Friday* during the day, I could have this job done before my in-laws get into town that day and that would thrill me.
Saturday, the landlord's coming back with his truck and trailer and lock equipment to work on the lock some more--he didn't have the right chisels last weekend. We hope to get the bed moved. I can't decide if I want to try to move the couch or hire someone. I mean, I *cannot* move it. I'm not allowed to do any heavy lifting and I have a tendency to drop things when my hands just flop or stop gripping. It's big and has two recliner ends. I think I might have to just hire some strapping young lads or lasses to do it. It's leather, so I'm really worried about it.

explodingcat is disturbed by wireless. He was waving his hands near the router, claiming, "the qi feels weird". I told him to come feel his subwoofer.
Crap. I forgot to mix up my henna paste. Hrm. I could sleep with it in, I suppose. Or maybe just wait.

We can't afford to make everything perfect right away. ;)
