Monday, July 30, 2012 Day 1: painting master room

Painting is so difficult. I am painting my house for Eid. I painted my house last year, bought expensive paints, anti fungus paint and called some guys to paint my house. Within a year, I got white patches on the wall. My master room especially was looking ugly. I thought we got paint at home so lets' have fun painting the house. Boy, was I wrong? I changed the wall color from maoon to an orchard white. We skipped the tapping of the edges and we regretted it big time. We had coatings over coating and finally we saw the result. This is only the case for three sides of the wall. We took 2 days and we are still facing that master room again today. A big hurdle in the way. I've got this tall cupboard in the room. We have not moved the cupboard and it's definitly not going to be easy. I don't even want to think about the rest 2 more rooms and the hall to paint. On top of painting, I got to do my prayers, recite my quran, the never ending house works, my kids and Iftar. By the time I head to bed, every joints in the body is aching. My hubby was in lots of  pain the first day and he declared that this is going to be his first and last time painting the house. I agree with him totally. This kind of tiring work should be outsourced. But I wish I get a nice design drawn on the wall and color it beautifully. Let me complete the painting first. I will rope my sis to help me draw designs on the wall when we have iftar together :) Inshallah.

Day 11 of fasting and weight loss is 400g. That figure is not justifiable at all compared to all that painting I did. :(

Update - I continued to paint the master room yesterday after work. I started late after teaching my DZoha her school work and we managed to push the cupboard out in front. My king size bed is overflowing with al my clothes and my hubby's clothes. I painted for more than 2 hours and I did not feel tired. I realised that it is less tiring to paint after iftar than to paint while u keep fast. I stopped at 12 midnight. Nope, I am not done yet. I scheduled this weekend to complete that room and the rest of the rooms. Inshallah.

This morning, I had a terrible time finding for my office clothes and while searching, I messed up that pile of clothes even more. There's a task waiting for me to complete this evening once I am back from work.
