I got a wild hair today and decided to paint Kendall's bedroom, instead of waiting til summer, as planned. I taped and painted for eight straight hours.It was gorgeous before; apparently too immature for Kendall, who will be turning 15 in about a week. I'll show you before and after shots soon, but for now, all you get is this sneak peek.
And now, I am seriously hurting so much I can barely type. Off to the freezer...
Yikes. Looks great though. I always do the painting around here.
ReplyDeleteKendall has a nice big room!
heat, not ice.
ReplyDeleteoverused muscles will return to normal much faster when heat is applied...like in a long hot bath....ice will make them freeze (literally). Unless you have a sprain where swelling is expected then most always use heat.
hope you enjoyed the fruits of your efforts
IDK, MM. I actually think I did some damage on my muscles. "Overused" is putting it too mildly. I suppose going to bed might help....Gnight!
ReplyDeletePainting can be very hard on muscles we don't use so often. Why would you go for 8 straight hours! No wonder you are in pain. Hope you recover soon.
ReplyDeleteI hate those not-so-gentle reminders that we're not as young as we used to be!
ReplyDeleteI got one this weekend, after walking 8.6 miles...ouch.
You are doing beautiful work though.
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous! And I want that window :)
ReplyDeleteI probably want that room, too.
Looks like you're doing a great job; hope Kendall's appreciative enough to make all your agony seem worth it... SOON!

Maybe an ice bath? Fill the tub with cubes... ouch!!!
ReplyDeleteIbuprofen...
Get her in there to paint with you! Both kids! They are young and strong- take advantage of it!
Oh- and not to be totally inappropriate... but... you're totoaly hawt from the backside.
ReplyDelete;)
Take care and a jacuzzi! Always works for this old farm chick. Seems like it's an everyday occurrence 'round here that I hurt something! The room is great...I can't wait to see the finished product. Meanwhile, ya' want to borrow my medicine bag! Ya can ice it or microwave it. It was given to be by a student's grandmother and I love it!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day and feel better, sweetie!!!
Ouch. I've been there before.
ReplyDeleteStretch yourself today...and try not to sit still for too long....
Feel better!
My kingdom for a hot tub! I feel better today; still sore, and wow it was hard to get to sleep with the aching.
ReplyDeleteLiz, you're so funny.
Off to take "after" shots!
ugggh to painting I have been there and next time I will hire someone
ReplyDeleteI love the window; the light that comes through it is beautiful. and you have nice legs. :)
ReplyDeletelooks great so far!
ReplyDeleteThe room is going to look so good and soon you won't remember the pain, just like childbirth! Ha.
ReplyDeleteOh man...that'll do it!! Here's to hoping you feel better soon! Icy hot?
ReplyDeleteYikes. That's a LOT of painting. I can't wait to see the before and after - and I *love* her window. Such a pretty design there. Love it :)
ReplyDeleteI painted so much in a short period of time that I was finally able to stop taping the ceiling and baseboards. That saved some of the pains, but certainly not all of them.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can move in the morning - I'm feeling for ya. I bet the room is going to look great :)

Oh stop, another reason to show off the legs.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice you enjoy doing that! Do you do work in the NorthEast?
This is what happens at our age when we over do it. Been there, hurt that. But all in love and for a good cause.
