Week­end was long and short at the same time.  Essen­tially there was a lot and very lit­tle was accom­plished.  Fri­day night we picked up paint to redo one of our rooms.   Xie assumed this was going to be a quick adven­ture that would be over in a cou­ple hours.   It lasted over 12 hours  all things con­sid­ered.  There are still some spots that need some touch-up work, and I need to sand down and stain the trim.   So there is more touch ups to do, but two coats of paint are up on the walls.

Other high­lights of the weekend:

  • Bet­ter child proofed the TV room, now there is only one sin­gle exposed wire Lex can grab at, and it’s a net­work cable.  With­out drilling into some­thing there is no fur­ther way to get rid of this last wire.
  • Had a McDonald’s Breakfast
  • Had a Denny’s din­ner, we only ate their because we had a coupon for a free entree.  The food and cost still isn’t worth it.
  • Had KFC — yes we ate a lot, this hap­pens when half the house is torn up, and no time to cook.  Though I did make sloppy joes last night.
  • Cleaned up paint chips.
  • While try­ing to get through a mess of stuff to answer the door yes­ter­day morn­ing (house still was a mess from paint­ing) I sliced my toe open.   I’m stand­ing on the porch talk­ing to a guy and hold­ing Lex and I look down.   I’m stand­ing in a pool about 6–8 inches wide that had come from my toe.    I gin­gerly get back into the house to min­i­mize blood on the car­pet I wrap up my toe.   I man­aged to go from a pool of blood out­side to three drops on car­pet.   Not too shabby.   Toe is still ban­daged up.

A week­end full of a whole lot of noth­ing that was taken up by painting.
