I'm so tired!

The 6 step ladder that I have is not high enough! I have to stand precariously on the 5th step praying that I won't lose my balance to paint the edge of the wall!

I'm thinking that being shorter than average is defective genes especially when it comes to painting walls and ceilings and reaching the top of shelves and cupboards.

And the worse thing is that my paint is uneven. It looks uneven. I suppose I can pass it off for artistic value. According to http://www.naturalhandyman.com/qa/qapainttechnique.html, it's because my roller is too dry and I'm stretching my paint. I wonder if getting a better quality roller would help. I know a better quality brush would help. Mine has its hair falling as I paint.

My living area looks smaller now, thanks to patches of dark red on 1 wall. Sigh. I really hope that another coat will make it look more even. I ran out of paint, so I'll probably be doing it this Thursday.

I hope my husband appreciates me painting, either that or get me a higher ladder. I so want to buy one but I think I would have problems transporting it back in the Kelisa that I drive.
