If I ever discover a time machine here is the letter I would bring to "past me..."
Dear Self,
On Tuesday you will come up with a great idea to repaint your perfectly fine living room. You will convince Jeff to start this project...but know this...he will abandon you in the process. Starting Wednesday night you will spend every spare minute in this painting hell. In two to three hour increments you will complete not one, not two, but three coats of paint over a FIVE day period. But it doesn't stop there. All of the trim will look like ka-ka so you will then have to repaint all of the trim...twice. But you will discover that the joker who painted the trim before you used an oil based paint, so your enamel paint will chip...ah!!!
You will start out thinking that you will just start this living room redo with the paint and then leisurely finish it throughout the summer. What you failed to remember is that you are crazy...and you do nothing at a leisurely pace. Therefore, you will hurriedly start sewing curtains. repainting furniture, ordering new fabric, making pillows, and feverishly rearrange furniture...really? Is any of this necessary? No. Future self is here to tell you don't do it! Finish the other 4 projects you have started, wash some laundry, and take a freaking nap instead...dummy!
You've been warned,
C
