we are slowly working on staining the house ... and believe me when i say, i look nothing like this picture of a very clean, tidy, young woman painting ... generally i wear half the paint and my hair never stays tied up for long ... i spill, drip, trip and smear ... wouldn't you like to have me painting your house?!!!!
anyway, i do fine with areas that you can give yourself freely too ... applying the stain with gusto, no fear of spreading it anywhere except where intended ...
but all that has changed this summer ... leo's heart is really in helping and getting this work done, but his body has gone on strike ...
today was the "stain the window trim" day for leo ... my job was the stairs ...
w-e-l-l ... leo's back seized up right after he got the stain stirred ... he valiently tried to do the trim, but then he got really bad spasms where he crouched and couldn't breath ... i continued my work ... it's best that way, since i can't do anything but encourage him ... this went on for about half an hour ... there was no way he could stay on the ladder ... try as he did ... sooooo after my steps were all done ... guess who did the fancy pants window trim? moi! no spills, drips or stain on the glass ... i couldn't believe it ... neither could leo ... and i actually did look like a clean, grown-up person after the day was done ... huh! go figure!
