Lighten up already!

One aching back, two whole days, three bandaids (. . . and a partridge in a pear tree) later, I have finally gotten all the outer layer of green wallpaper down in the dining room. Just having all the green gone really lightens up the room already.

Side note: If you squint and look very closely, you can actually see that there is no partridge in a pear tree but rather, "Wes Nile" the glass bird on the piano. Beach Bum is allergic to everything so we can only have glass pets.

Truly, I am thrilled at the progress on the room.

That's the good news . . .

The bad news . . .

I still have to get all the paper backing down . . .

And wash the walls . . .

And choose a wall paint color to be ready for the painters next week . . .

No problem . . . no stress . . . no worries.

I have eight good fingers left. I have hot, scalding water. I have sooooooooo much work to do.

I think I need chocolate. Yup, I need chocolate. Somebody get this woman some chocolate.

NOW!

Love,

The Lady of the Lake
