since i made the decision to wrap up my time at KGH (the program coordinator was very supportive and encouraging. she said i'm welcome to come back any time), i found myself with an opportunity to get some much needed work done around the house. brendan still needed the car by 4:15 to go to work in napanee, so i was home by 4:30 and set to work. i had 4 hours before brendan would return.
lately, i've been hearing of a few women painting furniture while pregnant, and i thought "i want to paint too!". i really enjoy painting and i've had a few projects that i've had to leave for brendan or for a later date because i was under the impression i couldn't paint. but after hearing about other pregnant painters, i looked into it and found that latex/arcylic paint is fine because there's almost no fumes and it's water soluble. so last evening i started painting the baby's dresser/cupboard. it was super relaxing. i don't really have any painting close that fit right now, so i just wore an old shirt and no pants. as i painted i listened to damien rice, and found his album to be very soothing and ideal for painting. i should be able to finish up tonight. it looks really nice. i chose an semi-gloss olive green colour, it goes nicely with the rest of our room.
as each coat dried, i also... hung the new curtain rod in our bedroom, cleaned the bathroom thoroughly, did a load of laundry, unpacked from phoenix, washed the dishes and watched an episode of how i met your mother. b was SUPER impressed when he got home. SO impressed that he made me a sandwich :) it felt like a really worthwhile use of my time. i think it helps that i started early and didn't have to stop for supper. i was pretty pooped afterwards. i'm excited about what i might get accomplished tonight :D
i've been wondering... is there a difference between being loving and having feelings of love? like, a person can feel love without behaving in a loving manner, and vise-versa, right?
why do you sing hallelujah
if it means nothing to you.
