Not much but I will take it.

So, Yesterday was a frustrating day on many levels. It was chilly, low 60s here, and drizzling or raining all day. And I had to paint our exterior door with oil based paint. It is a metal door so we wanted rustoleum on it. I wanted dark blue paint or bright red, ROn (hubby) nixed the red unless it was dark. Can I say I found nothing I liked for the application. I wanted spray but nooooo black, white or grey were the choices. Or neons, chalk board, metallics - things I just did not want on the door. I settled on Royal blue and only came high gloss - not happy. First coat looked like faded denim... ok maybe this will be ok... ready for the 2nd coat it was still sticky after 3 hrs not even dry to the touch so I still tried to put it on and it went OK. But knew it would need a third. woke in middle of the night and it was still tacky. So Upset finding that I struggled to get back to sleep. This am dry to the touch and in the light of day I HATE THE COLOR. I am like ready to cry over this door. The hurry was contractor decided to do the door today. I am hoping because it is still raining it gets delayed. I need to make considerations on how I want to proceed with this. I mean right now I want to sand it down and start over. Hubby says just put on the third coat but have to see what the contractor will decide to do today. The floor also needs self leveler applied but not sure if he can do that with the moisture. Contractor coming late but I double that will allow drying time. *sighs*

I am hoping the templating team is able to do some of the requests I have on the counters without making me be charged more. Have a couple places that would be sharp corners and do not want that. I need something good today.. they are due in 30 mins.

My son locked the cat in his bedroom with no food, water or litterbox over night and I have been playing clean up because she pooed and peed on his couch and MTG cards/yu-gi-oh cards and so I have also have a metldown on my hand. I am makig him clean it as he trapped the cat. I need strength to get through this day. He will think twice about trapping her again.

Gonna needs these.
