Feb 18-

Today was mostly a painting day, although I didn’t get any photos of what I painted.  It was dark by the time I thought to take photos of that, so I’ll wait until tomorrow.  

I think I’ll try this – writing and sorting photos on the laptop at night at the house, and then uploading when I can.  

Today I painted the stairway, the front room, and the front hall.  Including edging it all with the new paint-mate trim-it tool, which worked ok.   Was messier than I had hoped without as great as a result than I’d hoped, but in the end it did do an adequate job.   I’ll probably use it again.  I also painted the last bit of wall in the upstairs kitchen, which has been bugging me since ages.   I started to do the ceilings, but the white-paint turbo roller is clogged and I’ll need to give it a good washing.

Other than that-  I put a new seal on the downstairs toilet – no more leaks.

Fixed one hole in the ceiling where the pipe goes in.

Took out that awful outlet which was duct-taped to the wall.  I put wire nuts on and a steel cover and threw it back in there.

I put quarter-round in the bathroom.

I was in a hazy mood again today.   I think my better moods for the past 2 days might be because of the weather, but also might be because of the radio.  I’ve stopped listening to 104.5, and started listening to 95.7 where they play a much bigger variety, including a lot of 80s.  It’s better than listening to the same 20 songs over and over.  I even started listening to NPR so I could hear some people.  :)
