Did you know a paint roller's weight quadruples with the addition of paint? So, it seems, does a paintbrush's. Dammit, I used to be able to do entire rooms without even thinking about stopping to rest!
One-half of a closet later, the paint can has been closed, the brush and roller cleaned, and analgesic cream liberally applied to my arthritic hands and fingers.
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
It appears that Gary will be finishing the painting on his return. It sucks because I was trying to spare my daughter the fumes.
*sigh*
At least the paint we bought has the lowest environmental impact we could find (zero VOC's) and the smell really wasn't that bad even in such an enclosed space.
Guess I'll watch another Roswell episode and tinker with one of my Sci Fi/Fantasy Big Bang art pieces - if my hand stops complaining about holding a stylus.
Things could be worse.
