More on Painting

The kitchen is done.
Stairs, and vanity doors too.
Decks are resealed.
The pristine white cellar door rehung.

Moving onto the entry way.
It's all sanded and taped.
Ready for the primer
then it's Pretty in Pink.

By Saturday, Sunday, Monday...
I hope it's done.
(It's only been 10 months)
If there is a prayer left in me,
a brush in one hand, a roller in the other.

Painting begets painting
The new railings are calling.
Then there is the garage,
and the upstairs bathroom,
and the office bookshelves...


(Will I ever get back to writing?)

It never, ever stops until you run out of money or break a body part.

Wow, PtCakes...you're almost there. Fingers and toes crossed that you get this stuff done and are back to writing chapter summaries next week! Hang in there.
