Painting

Since Meg was going to be gone this week and Cam would be busy with Interterm, golf and tennis, I decided that I would paint our inside doors.  They definitely were in need of it as I hadn't painted them since Brett graduated.  I started on Monday with the main level and quickly realized that the issues with my joints were going to slow me down quite a bit from the last time I painted them.  In fact I was floored at how difficult the painting really was for me.  I lowered my expectations of how much I could accomplish and stuck with it.  In the end I was pleased with how much I had accomplished through today.  All of the main level inside doors had been repainted except for the one in our closet.  I was scared that I would spill paint on the new carpet.  I also painted half of the basement doors.  Cam said at first he didn't notice as I had kept them white.  On closer inspection, however, it was amazing how much better they all looked.  I did change the color on the front and back door not only cleaning them up, but also making them brighter.  I won't get as much done as I had planned, but I was proud of myself for sticking with it.  When we get back from Florida I will switch to looking through photos to get ready for Meg's open house.  I will still have a little bit of painting to do, but the majority of it will be behind me.  Searching through photo albums should be a lot easier for me to do.
