Catwoman

So, I started and finished painting two bathrooms today. Why? Because they were cream coloured. The whole house is a tribute to cream. Boring. It’s just not me. I painted them a bold blue and I’m happy with it. I did learn two things today while painting. The first is that I’ve worked out why people have baths in their bathrooms. I could never fathom the whole lying in hot water thing. Seems like a huge waste of time and I tend to believe lazy people like baths. Busy people do showers. Yes, you can email me if that offends you. Anyway, the real reason there is a bath is that it’s really good to walk around balancing on the rim as you paint the walls. Who knew? That brings me to the second thing I learnt today. I think I may be Catwoman ‘cause I’m so good at balancing. That or a ballerina…

Wall of thought...

So, I spent 6 and a bit hours painting the fence. It’s a bloody looooong fence. Picture the Great Wall of China but smaller and made of wood…okay, it’s really nothing like the Great Wall of China but it’s a pretty swell wall the frames the rainforest a nanosecond from my house. I don’t mind painting. It’s good thinking time because it’s quiet and there are no interruptions. I thought about a lot of stuff that was on my mind from the trivial to the big life questions. Looks? Meh. Weight? Whatever. Men? Go fish. Work? So many lessons still to impart on those men. Writing? Ongoing but less desperate. Running? Only when I choose to. Negative people out of my life? Check. Positive people in? As long as they refrain from doing smiley faces on emails. Breathing? Definitely. Accepting less than my due? Nuh-uh. Comments on the blog that tell me that I empowered someone? Priceless.

Relay for Life - It is a unique event where teams of 10 to 15 challenge themselves to take turns to keep a baton moving in a relay style walk or run overnight…I expect we’ll be running as we’re bootcampers and apparently invincible…but that’s okay. It’s so little to ask to help those with cancer. ‘Got a spare $5?  Please consider donating to our team…I promise we will do 10 – dreaded – shudder – puke – burpees – on your behalf.
