I have popped back - well kinda.

I guess what I needed was 2 long nights and a day of sleep. I spent most of yesterday on the couch on the porch with Ana bringing me snacks. Today was much better with lots more energy. I got the laundry done and the 2nd coat of paint on the wall. I moved all the furniture away from 2 other walls and headed for the hardware store. I picked a lighter version of the end wall and got everything I need to do the next step. I got white paint also for the trim and cupboard but I am not so sure I am going to paint the Windows. Each one has 16 square panes. I think I will just wash them off good and hide them behind sheers and curtains. 
I taped the trim on two walls and took everything off the walls. Now I have to remove all the bug parts. Daddy long legs squished. I am all ready to get started tomorrow or Monday.
I even made cookies. Little chocolate cookies that you press a candy corn into when they come out of the oven. In the middle of the second batch I ran out of propane so I will have to take care of that tomorrow. I took some to the pizza shop but I discovered the more I tried to talk the more I coughed. I don't get a cold very often, but when I do it goes bronchial, and that is what happened this time.
I moved into my guest bedroom and I will stay there until my bedroom is all finished. I can't wait. I think it will look so nice. I will have to be really careful as this is acetate paint and won't come off easily like the acrylic. And it smells strong so I will cover my nose and mouth. 
I did check the cucumber plants today and I have flowers all over them. This is the farthest I have gotten and still had the plants look healthy. No evidence of melon plants and the one pea isn't doing so well. I tend to hide seeds all over when I come here and Ziomara sent me a message that she found some inside a bag I gave her. She is keeping them for when I come visit. 
Back to work cutting up cashmere strips.
