Vacay Update

Just to inform anyone who cares- I have been quite busy on my wonderful vay-cay and haven't been able to blog as regularly. 

Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that I do not have a cold, but I have allergies. I could be wrong. I've been wrong before. 

I had insomnia again last night, but forced myself to stay in bed. However, I tossed and turned and did not sleep well. I suspect that the iced-tea I drank from noon until 2pm yesterday afternoon is the culprit. I don't know. 

I was supposed to paint some windows for my parents today but I guess it's on hold. Bummer. I really wanted to be on a ladder outside with cobwebs and spiders, scraping paint and using a sanding block on my vacay. 

My sister and I recently hijacked my mother's kitchen and re-painted it when she was out getting groceries. It went from a really shiny, pale peach to a nice tan with only a semi-sheen (kitchen paint). It looks so much nicer, cleaner and updated. My mother walked in and looked around - sort of shocked, not quite as impressed as we were- especially with the color, but hasn't really put up any sort of fight over it. So, it's fine I guess. We chose a color that was as bland as possible as she's very much afraid of real color in the house. She claims she chose colors for other rooms, but they are all a subtle variety of white- like eggshell white, slight ivory white, etc..,. basically all the rooms are some kind of white. I think calling any room actual ivory would be a gross exaggeration. 

I'm tired.
