I am old… painting my office

I cannot paint and NOT get it on my hands. Ever. 

I also forget to take before pictures. This HUGE desk was on the far wall when I started. I painted the wall behind it then asked the airmen to help lift and shift it to the opposite wall. They were great help and got it moved…then I started on the REST of the walls. The big screen on the wall could come down as I’ll never use it. BUT for now it stays. Someone may want to use it eventually. 

The baby poo. Oh I mean peach is the old color and the light blue/grey is the new. It’s so much brighter already!!

The first wall completed. 

The awful peach with drinks spilled down the wall to just add the perfect touch. 🤮

So glad I painted. I will show the final look once o get everything moved back in. I have three guest chairs that will be moved around. A plant stand that really has no home. This office is the same size but the computer screen on the wall really takes options off the table. So, we work around it. 

Next up phone move network drop activated and I’ll be done. Oh and moving the few additional items into the room I’ll need. I NEED to get rid of a lot of things!!  Guess it’s time to cull!!

Don’t think I escaped unscathed with just paint on my hands. Nope. My body is hurting. I have tail bone pain after all this… why tail bone pain?  Not a freaking clue. Pelvic floor failures and life of a woman who had had one too many pelvic surgeries?  Who knows. But I have spent all of Saturday laying low and using my lovely new percussion massager on my hips and saddle areas. It’s still not happy but feeling better after just resting. I’ll be a back at it again tomorrow I’m sure.  

Visit with Mommie Dearest

And captured from a video I had. 


‘’Twas a cloud filled trip for sure. It was either FULL clouds and bland or beautiful storms!  I was even rained on in Vegas!  Not typical!

Mom said folks were going to think I never have flow before ;) I’m ok with that - ha!

It was a good visit and as always I didn’t take many pictures. 

This is mom reading a card from a friend who sent money to me at dads passing. I used the money to take mom out to eat while I was there. We went to Applebees once, the McDonalds (her choice) and to Linda’s one night :) oh and IHOP for breakfast one day. I joined her af her place for dinner or lunch one day and sat with her while she had her breakfast one day as well. We laid around talking and visiting and took drives up the mountains and even went to the nursery to get her a new plant. 

She and Robert we rubbing on each other one afternoon :)

Robert, Linda, Mike and I played games at night and had a very good visit!

In the evening it’s so nice to sit out in their back porch!

Then all too soon it was time to head home again. I came in Thursday night super later - or super early Friday morning.  Spend Friday - Sunday with mom for as long as she would have me each day!  She only tapped out once and said “nope, I need to go take a nap” and we let her be, but that wasn’t until Sunday!  Worked on her stamina and strength while I was there with lots of walking and more calories than she’s used to. We will get her up to fighting weight yet!!

The flights home had lots of pretty clouds coming into Atlanta

No video to catch the lightning under this storm. 

Not the same cell but a good one from the ground!

A good trip. Now I need a few days to recuperate!!
