Painting Round 2...

Today was going to be another day of painting. At least that was the plan. But as we all know, sometimes things don't work out as planned. I got pretty much around the time I wanted to, but I went and got a haircut first, since that was the last time that was going to be possible before my vacation starts. So I got a little a later start than I would have liked to.
I picked up Daisy and we headed over to my new place and I started with painting round number 3 of the living room. These walls suck up way more color than expected. Well, I probably could have just done touch up's...but there were quite a bit of them and so I figured I might as well do another round. By the time I was finished I was happy the way it turned out.
Next up was that, what will eventually become may work and eating area. Luckily I had already taped all the corners off when I did the prep-work for the painting and so I didn't have to waste much time with it. So I painted round numer one. And with these walls the first round of painting always looks like a bad paint job. By the time I was finished on one end the color was dry enough for round number two. Can't say that I was a big fan of that, as I was getting a headache and I forgot to bring any Aspirin and my should muscles were starting to bother me. But I put all of that out of my mind, since I really wanted to get in 2 rounds of painting in the rest of the living room. On top of that I was already 6 pm when I started with round 3. So the light situation was slowly becoming an issues as well. But I did finsish round number 2. I think it turned out OK. By the time I was done there was just not enough day light to check the quality on the paint job. I was just happy that I managed to get the round number two done. I cleaned my self up a little and headed back home. And how did Daisy spend the day? She was in the middle of the 'pain area' and spent it most time sleeping, while I was working hard. Guess in my next time I want to come back as a dog!
I really wanted to order outfood, since I so didn't feel like cooking. But since I had already purchased all the ingredients I stuck with the original plan of cooking. Peeled the potatoes and cooked them for the Erbs-Wurst Soup. Is kind of an adaptation of a traditional hiker's meal in Austria. Easy to prepare and very cheap. What you do is you cook peeled potatoes and once they are done you throw them in the blender. After it's all blended put them back in the pot warm it up and add Peas and small pieces of Sausage...and you're done. With the right seasoning it's a quite tasty meal epecially if you've been working hard all day long. When I relaxad after dinner on the couch all my muslces and a lot of joints were hurting. Some of those muscles I didn't even realize that I had them before the entire painting marathon. And I would have given a kingdome for a good massage. But since nobody was around to do the task, I had to be without a massage.
I had planned of watchting a movie, but guess what...I fell asleep in front of the TV and woke up around 3.30 am. Apparently I really needed the sleep.
