I don’t remember Jake’s room taking this much time to paint. Maybe he had more stuff? I know the red didn’t take 3 coats.

Anyway, here’s the time-line (just for my own record-keeping):

• June 25th, Saturday: clean out Maggie’s room
• Sunday: pull carpet
• Monday: wash walls & tap trim
• Tuesday: ***day of rest*** (2 work meetings, 1 softball game)
• Wednesday: paint primer and first coat of yellow (my shoulders/arms are so tired, I skip yoga)
• Thursday: paint second coat of yellow
• Friday: paint third coat of yellow
• July 2nd, Saturday: ***day of rest** (finish reading Sarah’s Key)
• Sunday: paint fourth–and final!!!–coat of yellow and remove tape (my hands are incredibly sore–tendon pain)
• Monday: paint first coat of trim
• Tuesday: paint second coat of trim & shop online for furniture (Ikea)
• Wednesday: clean project area (remove tape, replace outlet covers, etc.) & schedule carpet measurement
• Thursday: do other stuff (can’t remember what–probably watch soccer)
• Friday: guy comes to measure carpet
• July 9th, Saturday: ***day of rest*** (al-anon meeting, women’s soccer, SLC with kids)
• Sunday: another ***day of rest*** (women’s soccer–USA beats Brazil!!! + new “Miss Marple”)
• Monday: order carpet–at last! (a cold = no yoga, organize desk)
• Tuesday: (feel yucky, organize my new/old desk, move dressers)
• Wednesday: buy curtains (also, USA beats France to go to the finals)
• Thursday: (Salvation Army comes, deliver other stuff to Savers)
• Friday: shop at Ikea = bed, desk, chair, and bedside table for Maggie’s room; assemble chair (for Mags) and table
• July 16th, Saturday:
