A Trip to the Hardware Store...

Well today I was going to do some shopping at a local hardware store. I'm really starting to get serious about making my apartment more of a home than it is right now. Since I had gotten permission from the landlord to paint the place as I see fit. So I borrowed my Sis' car and went to the hardware store.
A couple of weeks earlier I had decided on the paint colors.
I got to the hardware store and had them prepare the paint. Planning on painting media/living room and bedroom in 2 different colors. Bought the paint and than shopped for painting supplies. About 2 hours later I was done. All in all I spent about 200 bucks.
After that came the fun part of having to carry all that stuff up 3 flights of stairs. And paint is actually quite heavy. Had to leave the stuff outside my apartment to get the rest. That did drive Daisy crazy. Although she's now good with staying by herself...with me being on the outside that's something that she barely can handle and she starts with her anxiety routine. So I left some stuff in the car and spent some time hanging with Daisy. Later that day we both went back to the car to pick up the rest of the stuff, before dropping the car back off at my sister's.
So there will be quite some painting in the near future. The only thing that I did forget is to buy a bigger ladder. Since the rooms in my apartment are about 12' high...a standard ladder really isn't of much use. So I guess I will have to go out and a bigger ladder at some point.
