I have felt just awful today. My body is reacting to all of the dust and paint fumes combined with likely a viral cold, so I have all of the makings for a good time. My nose is mimicking a faucet, I’m sneezing every 1/2 hour it seems, and my eyes are so irritated that I just want to claw them. It’s getting a little better though since I found some children’s Allegra. I went through our adult medicines only to find Clarinex that was 10 years old, so I opted for the children’s Allegra instead. On top of those symptoms I’m dealing with that TMI womanly stuff which makes me feel so sick. I almost threw up from the pain this morning. Ugh.. But, no time to feel sorry for yourself. Push through the pain. I’ve got too many things staring at me, so I just bite the bullet and keep going.
I’ve been in the basement all day painting and cleaning. It’s unfinished and unfortunately will have to remain so because of the low ceilings and duct work. However, I’m trying hard to make it be as aesthetically pleasing as possible since I hope to be teaching down there. I need to send in a video to HGTV and see if I could coax them into decorating!
Tonight, I was ripping up old carpet remnants. I would cut up the pieces with a razor blade, and my daughter  would roll them up. Then I would tape them with duct tape. I have 2 other large carpet remnants to cut up tomorrow. If you’re looking to tone your arms, this is a good exercise! I wish I could make money somehow doing this stuff. I’m a pretty efficient worker, but this mommy stuff doesn’t pay well monetarily-ha!
Look how my black stairs turned out-fun..
