Bah

So Friday I got up late and spent the afternoon outside painting some of the metal portions of the wall out front. I got through the gate which took two hours and some decorative pieces plus one half of the front-most area. Clearly this is going to take longer than I imagined. I've been painting by brush. Mother was going to do this task.

Last night I was completely miserable with a "paint cold" with lots of sneezing. I finally slept after 2am. I woke up feeling good at 4am but that was way too little sleep so I went back to bed and felt pretty sore and tired when I woke. Brother had said he was going to try to come out both days today but it's after 1pm and he hasn't been heard from or seen. It's very cloudy today and the reports had hinted at possible "showers" this evening so I'm not sure painting is a good idea. The neighbor thinks it could take me a week to do all the painting. I had to admit it but that could be reasonable. It's slow going and I didn't like the look of it when I checked it today. I don't care, really. It's painted, right?

Not sure what, if anything, I'll get accomplished today. Maybe I should hide in bed with the kitty. Need to get a meal in me before my mood crumbles into desolate annoyance.
