Mid Winter Sunshine

It's kinda weird. It's late December, and it's 60+ out there. Sunny, warm, gorgeous. And I have a damned cold. At least, I'm hoping it's only a cold. It's made the last two days less than wonderful.

See, yesterday the guys started to redo the ceiling in the bathroom. Previous owners had a leak, which did damage to the ceiling. They covered the damage with wallpaper; I took the paper down when I bought the place - first thing I did, before I even moved in. Pulled down the ugly wallpaper and painted the bathroom a clear periwinkle purply-blue. With the white tile, it was just what I wanted. And 7 years on, I still liked it. But the paint was peeling off the previous damage, and I wanted a color change.

So the lath/plaster had to come down, and the green board sheet rock went up. That all got done yesterday, and they were to come back and paint today. Two guys showed up at 8, and I left. Back at noon - they were still sanding. But they finished by four, and it's good. It's quite a change; I think I like it a lot. I tend to go with intense colors; either that or a pale yellow. It's... well, I don't know how to describe it. It's not green and it's not blue - somewhere between a light teal and aqua. I do find myself kind of missing the periwinkle.

But all I want to do is crawl into my pjs, slurp down tea w/honey and self-medicate with OTC cold stuff. And hide. And it would help if it were raining and stormy and cold/nasty outside. Because sunny & clear is just not cold-suffering weather.
