Time to Shake it UP!

Today I decided to shake up my world a little bit.  I'm done being mean and bitter and hateful.  I talked to Clint but didn't let him get under skin, I remembered why I liked him in the first place.  And going back to that place actually felt good.  I had zero work to do so I decided to paint my laundry room.  A trip to Lowe's resulted in paint, carpet (measurements this week, finalizing my color choice next week), and some laminate wood floor samples staring at me.

Laundry room with 1 coat on.
The original color is celery green but photos horribly.
The new color is Simply Gray by Waverly Classics


After!  4 hours and it's completed.
It's photographing blue, but it's the most perfect blank canvas.

I'm so pleased with my color choice and how quickly it went on.  I should have shown you the wall with all my furnace and hot water heater.  It was never painted as you cannot reach behind them!  So with a long arm and an even longer roller I did the best I could.  I also couldn't move my washer and dryer so by laying on top of them I got down as far as I could.  I'm sure my muscles will not be happy tomorrow, but it's nice to feel a sense of accomplishment.  I think part of my boredom is coming from being unfulfilled.

Up next, find someone to help me work on my crochet skills.  I love being able to finish projects in a couple nights of TV viewing.  Normally I would bake, but being on WW is not conducive to that hobby.  Now it's time to relax and clean up my nails.  They are thoroughly trashed and need some gel polish to last through next week's meetings.
