Murphy's Law

How are you today?  We're hot!  I enjoy being outside in the heat because even though my hot flashes have reduced in number, intensity remains.  They bother me when I'm in air conditioning, but either I don't have them or don't notice them in 90 degree temps. 

Here's the same supertunias in the front, and they sparkle even when the sun goes down.

 

They really are so much better than the calibrachoa.  Need sun and a lot of water.  I lay wooden paint stirs across the top rim of any hanging flower to keep it up off the wet soil and let it get air. 

I came up with a fabulous way to clear coat the cabinet doors.  Because of their height (to the ceiling), it was difficult to get a smooth finish.  By the time I got a section done, the overlap was starting to dry.  So I used what you are told not to. 

 

The small high density foam rollers.  I used them in the foyer and they do leave a texture which I don't want on the cabinets.  But it would certainly do the long area quicker than a brush.  So I tried, and immediately followed with a wide sponge brush to smooth out the texture and it worked beautifully.  Then the roller jammed and wouldn't roll.  I tried it anyway and found that it created a perfectly smooth finish when it doesn't roll.  Just use a little pressure - I was thrilled.  Look how nice they came out!!  I have to work on them on the kitchen counter because of my neck/back.  Just can't lean over for any length of time.  Three large ones were in the new room drying, and the two small and other large were staying on the bar counter.  While cleaning the mess in the sink and washing the sponges, I set the hand sprayer back into its fricking hole, but it never shut off.  It sprayed me and all three perfectly smooth doors that were drying.

As I stood at the sink debating on which obscenities would be most appropriate, I saw this.

 

 

and this.

 

So I walked out of the kitchen, not even looking at the spots that ruined my work, and scratched a few buddies.   

 

There's always a bright side.  The other three large doors weren't affected, and I got hosed down on a hot day.

 

 Find the good in the bad.
