woke around 6, got up slowly. not quite as crappy as yesterday, but still definitely sick. i walked seth, ate some french toast di made me. she also made tea for my thermos, i made some more for my mug for the car. loaded the car with painting supplies and took off. i got to skokie paint co at 8:50, and doug, the owner, waved me in even though they didn't open until 9. we hung out while he mixed paint for me. he's a funny guy.
got my six gallons of paint and headed to the shop. i sanded as much mud as i could, cleaned up what i could, and dan grzeca and ella showed up at 11. they started painting. renate arrived soon after them, followed in a little while by xan, and later by john hastie and john kenzie arriving at the same time. di brought substantial snacks from whole foods, and we got a lot done over the course of the day. i tried to just stay one step ahead of everyone else as best i could, to keep everyone busy and as interested as possible.
i think john hastie and xan, and maybe dan ibarra, may be the only people reading this blog. hi guys.
today really accentuated for me how people are willing to help when i need them. this is really a great feeling. we got so much done.
everyone took off around 6pm or so, and after they left, i managed to get a second coat of paint on almost everything which had ben painted. starting to have second thoughts about the lighter green on the big main wall in my office. that color may change.
around 10 i went home. saw a skunk in the neighbor's yard.
di was waiting for me with toast and tea. we talked a while, then i bathed.
typing this now, then off to bed in 5, 4, 3, 2...
