You know what I hate?

So, "hate" might be a strong word, so maybe I should use "extremely annoying" instead--but, it takes too long to type....

So, we're doing this new floor thing, which has turned into a major renovation of practically the whole interior of the house (and some eventually on the outside, too!). The knee walls (kind of like separator half-walls) had to go, therefore, the drywall had to be repaired, thus, painting a 4 x 8 slab of wall ensued. Except that this small portion of wall is connected (without breaks) to the long hallway and, going the opposite direction, into the living and dining rooms. :p

Of course, it's been five years since I painted it last, so there's many dirt spots along this entire wall. Painting is such a tedious job. You get all the materials out, get them all covered in paint, and it takes ten minutes to do the job, only to have to then clean up all the materials once again. :P With any luck the computer did it's job well, and I have an EXACT match to the color already on the wall, and won't have to do any trim or touch ups. But, of course, we won't know that until a few hours from now, when the paint actually dries completely. So I seal everything in plastic while I wait, because I'm not going to clean the mess twice!

In the meantime, I think I will sit in my recliner and read, or crochet, while I admire my new hardwood floors. :D On the other hand, maybe I should take a shower and go shopping for a new rug to cover up---er, I mean, accent--my new hardwood floor! LOL
