We painted the new apartment. In twelve hours the two of us taped, draped, primed, painted and cleaned up most of the walls of the 1200 square foot space (we skipped the kitchen and bathroom and the ceilings were recently painted). Note to self, get a taller step ladder and do a better job adjusting paint quantities for window, door and closet areas- we over bought a bit. We didn’t want to rope any of our friends or family into it like we have in the past. Some of our friends have helped us paint or move more than once and I think we’re running a deficit on the favors.

We’re tired. Really tired. The kind of tired that reminds me that I’m glad I have an office job. The hour at the gym two or three times a week is nothing compared to standing, climbing ladders and crouching all day.
