Trying to Build Something Beautiful

It is so frustrating to paint. You have to paint one coat, dry, then another, dry, make sure that you don't paint the places not that color and then you have to tape off what you just painted if you are painting the other areas a different color. However, the progression has been steady thanks to many friends and family helping. I am now down to the last coat of paint on the trim and planning to do the ceiling tonight. I am wishing to clean my carpet while all my furniture is conveniently off of it, so tonight I will do the first coat of ceiling paint. Then tomorrow I plan to take a mental health day and clean the carpet with every intention of hiding out in my room all day while it dries. Next day is all about moving stuff back into place and putting up drapes. The next day is going to be the big challenge, organizing the garage. Pictures to be posted once I figure out how to do it. It is very frightening to look at all the clutter an individual accumulates in just one year. I hope to keep up this tradition of a yearly cleaning over a week's time so I will not end up on the show Hoarders. :) It is off to finishing my assignments. I feel good about this semester, so keep all ligaments crossed!
