Quiet day yesterday. Started on a project I have been meaning to get to for a while. I don't know what prompted me to finally start working on it, but I did. Remember the old steamer trunk I found over the summer? Well I finally started restoring it. Spent most of the day stripping paint and burning the flesh off my hands. I got the majority of paint off yesterday. Need to get some steel wool and finish scraping down the rest of it before I can paint. I am taking the hardware back to chrome because the brass was too rusted in some spots. Then I will paint the trim in some color like red or bright something, then finally paint the rest of the trunk in a high gloss white. I may add a stencil or two before putting a top coat on it, but that's still up in the air. I am really excited about doing this for some weird reason.
I also went to the thrift store as planned yesterday. I found a wheelchair and globe to be used as props for the show. I got both for $25. Not too shabby. I told my directors I don't want to be reimbursed, instead I want this to go towards my 2011 dues. We are supposed to pay a dollar for any show we work. There are 42 shows in 2011. This should cover me until August. One less thing I have to worry about.
That's it. That was the extent of my day. Talked to my sister, she wants a picture of me and the kid for Christmas. Talked to the kid, told her to remind me to take a picture. Otherwise, no real human contact yesterday.
It's so weird when I think about how many years I spent living with someone else. There has always been someone in the house other than me to talk to or just feel their presence. Now for almost two years, it's just been me. It's odd. It's no wonder I start talking to myself during the day sometimes. Ah the slow descent into madness....
