Feb. 1st, 2006 01:30 pmToday my front door was painted a glorious white, and I am just surviving the chemical overload (this is the final coat, thank goodness - I lost most of yesterday to reaction to the undercoats).
I suffered a lovely electricity loss just when I was going to save an hour's work on my computer (normally I save more frequently, but chemicals were warping my brain). It is hot today, so there was paint and heat and open doors and no lights or anything. Exciting stuff. Especially when my phone blanked out so I couldn't ring the electricity people and find out how long it would last.
Normally I would give up an go shopping, but my front door is open to the world, so this did not seem a good idea. Instead I gave up and found the lightest corner of the flat and read. I gained three hours by waking up early for the paint, then lost two with the blackout, and am about to lose more with fatigue.
I only had two hours sleep last night. I do not deal well with hot nights. And I am dealing surprisingly well with today. No screaming. No hissy fits. Not even an agonised sigh. Just lots of coffee and me placed strategically under the airconditioner to minimise my access to fumes. Oh, but I love airconditioning units. Not as much as I love coffee.
