It was only 15 years ago that I painted my mother's living room, hall, and dining room in one day. Then, the next day I painted my living room, bedroom, and office. I don't remember being all cripped up afterward, but that was then and this is now, and this is the result of yesterday's project: to paint one lousy wall. I haven't even gotten to the glazing yet, and my back is in agony. See new curtains and bed linens. See new chair. See Steph sitting in new chair taking Darvocet.
