a painted house.....

ok, so my house is not yet painted......some rooms are mostly done.....and some rooms are partly done, but essentially this crew appears to show up late and leave early........and take lots of smoking breaks.......as evidenced by the butts just off the front porch.....the colors, are as expected...lighter than i had hoped and darker than others were awaiting.......there is some little contrast between the white woodwork and the walls.....and that is heartening......we could, theoretically, have put the back room to rights....but i ran off to the lecture, and my spouse took to his bed in a pre-flu protestation.....tomorrow may be the same.......i hope to travel to lexington to see stephan's friend stafford sing the lead in les miserable......a musical i have never seen...i am looking forward to the experience......but that makes the replacement of furniture a weekend thing.....and this weekend is the last installment of Governor's Cup...an academic compeition for which stephan had qualified in 3 events.......we leave for louisville saturday evening so that we are there 1st thing sunday......and we will not be home until late monday.......which puts house-normalacy (sp) deferred til tuesday at the earliest.....i suppose the paint will have cured by then.....eh?
