finishing touches

My last official day of vacation. The company I work for closes its offices between Christmas and New Year's, so I've had the last week off. Which was good, because we did so much painting and cleaning and organizing and furniture-schlepping that we both needed a break. So how did we spend our break?

We slept a lot.

It's been freezing cold outside (in Northern California, that means like fifty degrees) so that hasn't been conducive to a lot of hard work. And it's also been raining, Seattle-style, ever since Christmas day. This morning, we woke up to a lack of electricity, which also didn't help. But that didn't last long, so we got ourselves out of bed and made a day of it.

The kitchen needed one more coat of paint, so I tackled that this afternoon. This red color has been terrible to work with. Our first two coats were semi-gloss, which didn't quite work in the kitchen, so we covered it with a coat of primer. Then two more coats of the red in a satin finish. That was as far as we made it before Christmas. But it wasn't quite enough, so I did one more coat tonight.

Corey just got home from getting groceries, and we're watching Will and Grace, and my eyelids are starting to close, so I think it's time to call it a night.

Good night, everybody.
