Well, I finished putting on the first coat of white latex paint tonight. The ceiling is only about 1/3 finished, but I've reached the end of my strength tonight. Actually will probably take a couple days to rest - maybe work on it again on Monday during the day. My arms are tired. :):)
My knees have done really well, both on the ladder as well as standing in one place for several minutes at a time. Even the bending over and stretching the backs of them while painting near the floor was ok most of the time, although I did get a stool and sit. This is so different than when I was painting the other side of the room last summer/fall, before my knee surgery. Being on the ladder was very painful. Praise God for the surgery!
Mel told me tonight that it's ok to leave the livingroom a disaster area until I'm finished. Oh my. I have all sorts of stuff - the bedside table, clothes, books, boxes from under the bed, the clothes hamper, and so forth and so on, piled all over the living room. Also all of the bedding off the bed is in the living room piled on the couch. The frame is partly visible to the far right, leaning against the wall. The mattress is behind the frame, propped up between the frame and wall. You'll notice that there are no photos of the living room included in this post. I wouldn't want to scare anyone.....!
The good news is that when I'm finished and it's all back where it's supposed to be, the living room will seem huge! :):)
