Full Moon Rising

On Saturday I went with Maureen to a Christmas Bazaar.  She asked me when we were on our Thursday Diabetic Walk if I wanted to go.  Sure.  Was ok.  We went after for coffee and talked.  Will be meeting her and her hubby Mike on Thursday again.  AJ will have coffee with Mike - they like each other.  They are the couple we met when we were up looking at this house.  I enjoy her company and am thankful she asks me to come out with her.  It helps to go with someone to things.  I don't think I'd go to the Thursday walk if it wasn't for her.  I'd feel alone.  I see most people tend to already have someone to walk with.  Sad that they want to move next year, but grateful for the time I will have with her / them now.

Must have been because there was a full moon this week.... I woke at 430am and couldn't sleep.  So I got up after thinking about it for a bit - to paint.  But not as in art, as in the ceiling and walls.  I started on the ceiling in the living room and front door hall.  By 630am I almost had the living room ceiling finished, and my paint roller handle broken.  Most irritating thing - the other day at the dollar store I had one in my hand but figured I didn't need to buy another one.  I'm also working at not buying things we don't need..... should have bought it then!

AJ got up at 630am and showered, then we had breakfast.  It has been pis*sing rain all morning so no walk for Jax.  After breakfast I used a brush and started on the walls.  By 1030am it had stopped raining, so we all went for a walk to the Dollar Store and got 2 roller cages!  Yes, I needed 2.  One for the ceiling white, and the other for the Linden walls.  (Linden is a beigey brown)  The front window wall is painted a Grey Mist.  I haven't decided if I like it.  It's suppose to be a level lighter then the Linden so they go, but ...  I have one more coat to do of that, so I will see then.  I like the Linden colour.  Rest of the dining and kitchen will be in that colour too.  Thing is I'm not sure I can do the high ceilings, will have to get Rob to paint I think.  He was suppose to paint everything, but it's ill, and behind in what he's doing for us.  Hopefully he shows tomorrow and finishes AJ's steps in the garage.  They just need one more post.  Then I have a few things that need to be put up - curtain rod, lights outside, towel bars, safety bar, then light switches changed over.

I got my art room finished.  The women came to start the painting, and they were fine, but I just didn't care for what they did exactly.  They finished the bedroom and AJ's bathroom (Linden and one wall Avocado green - looks good, and bath is grey with purple touches).  My art room is Lotus yellow.  So now I have all those rooms done.   

I'm done painting for today.  Will finish that one front wall tomorrow.  My right hand is stiff and painful.    With everything I did today - it must have been the full moon!  I had a lot of energy - hurray.  I got a lot of painting done in one day, plus the long walk, and meals (though they were simple and quick).  I hope tomorrow I will still have some of that energy.  And not be to stiff and sore.
