I just finished putting the first coat of paint on PART of my kitchen walls, and I'm already disgusted. I only painted the areas behind the appliances, because my old appliances are out in the garage, and the new ones will be delivered tomorrow. I was hoping one coat would do it, but I clearly have to do another. True, most of it won't show, but some of it will. I hate painting. I'm not good at it. And it's messy.
After a no-spend day yesterday, I spent $79 today -- basically, $31 on paint and supplies, $35 on new knobs for the cabinets (my second attempt at buying knobs; I had to return the first set because of color disparity), $5 on toilet paper and $8 on floor vents (one of which I will have to return because it's the wrong size). As I said, I hate home improvement.
I also got a refund from Wal-Mart because I bought a drill at the self checkout the other day and managed to charge myself twice. I probably wouldn't have noticed if I weren't keeping receipts and logging my spending every day!
I'm taking tomorrow off, first of all to get a mammogram, and second of all to wait for my appliances in the afternoon. And I will put that second coat of paint on..... Sigh.
I Hate Home Improvement!

I hope the test goes well tomorrow! I'll be saying a prayer!
