I normally wouldn't have gone for the separate oil based primer but I was convinced by the guy in the paint department of my local, independent building supply store. It wasn't cheap, but so far it has performed very well through Canada's winters.Browrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01661145494625869227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-50206208108659719282020-04-30T11:27:27.430-04:002020-04-30T11:27:27.430-04:00Thanks for the thought but I don't like the cu...Thanks for the thought but I don't like the current color and I'm a matchy matchy kinda gal. ;-)Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-21500631146317002922020-04-30T11:25:46.358-04:002020-04-30T11:25:46.358-04:00I know, I hate that too but online people like to ...I know, I hate that too but online people like to get all judgy like there aren't humans behind the words.

It would be too matchy-matchy, especially if you have that same (light) color in other places in the room. Maybe pick the darker color up with two small things on the shelf so it is a set of 3.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-90939230327938243292020-04-30T11:02:03.049-04:002020-04-30T11:02:03.049-04:00I've never liked comments that people make of,...I've never liked comments that people make of, "if you think you have it bad..." I find that to be very ignorant and in a way it's emotional bullying because you're being told you don't have the right to feel a certain way because someone else has it so much worse. I don't think I've ever heard a person say, "I have it worse than every single other person on the planet so everyone should feel bad for me." But we sure as heck shouldn't be made to feel bad to being upset about something that is going on in OUR world. Society has a way of trying to call the shots on what's deemed proper enough to grieve over, be mad about, or be fearful of. Screw that. There is nothing wrong with being super sad (or angry and irritated) for missing this very special vacation. The very core of you is steeped in tradition and those experiences are very important to you. So you go ahead and feel anything you want to feel, and yes, you can even shut out the world next week and not have to explain yourself. You wouldn't have been online anyway during your vacation, so if you want a break, take it. It's a total bummer that you guys can't have this trip now, but God willing, you can next year and it's going to be spectacular!! You can switch up things because you'll have some time to look around and maybe make some adjustments (such as with that douche who wouldn't give refunds during a pandemic...jerk). For this year though, it just plain stinks to be stuck at home. <br /><br />My week has been about adjusting to my new overnight schedule and it has not been easy. My body doesn't want to give me more than 3 hours of sleep, with maybe another 1-2 later in the day, so I'm in a constant fog. I had all the wrong dates on my time sheet, and had no clue what day of the week it was a couple of times. But today is my one true day off and I'm happy to be home with the dogs, and need to go through the massive pile of crap that is now on my table for stuff I haven't looked at all week, such as mail, packages, my morning meditation books that I didn't crack open once. Oh yeah, and Thursdays will be my new laundry day.

I just wipe down the surface and paint. Happy Anniversary! I'm sorry you are missing your trip, we all are missing so many events this year. I don't know if you have discovered the fb group called view from my window, it's people all over the world posting snaps of their view from home. The photos are stunning and made me realize for the first time I can recall that all people worldwide have a commonality today with this. I feel like I am on a worldwide tour with all the glimpses into other people's lives. <br />I have been working from home for 7 weeks and it has rained for almost 4 days straight. Beyond work, I haven't been so productive this week. Started a new puzzle and have been watching Dolly Parton's Heartstrings series.<br />Have a good day!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818785860858381950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-38576903417913107422020-04-30T07:36:31.941-04:002020-04-30T07:36:31.941-04:00You have every right to feel the way you feel abou...You have every right to feel the way you feel about the trip being cancelled. We could have still gone but we were responsible and put ourselves in the position of people who probably do not want to see a bunch of tourists coming into their towns right now and we did the right thing. We can be proud of that but this is a case where doing the right thing sucks at the same time - especially when your consolation prize is chipping paint off of a fence. I am soo glad we went to Yellowstone last year though. That really was the trip of a lifetime and especially just driving cross country, meeting a good friend along the way too. Good memories we have that we can reminisce on for now at least. This is why anyone out there who doesn't like to take time off work or doesn't see the point in vacations should rethink that strategy because I don't know what we would do right now if we didn't have all the travel memories we have.
