50 minute bathroom.
10:15 am.
Thaw out rollers which were in the truck all night and froze together.
Thaw out caulking (sinkful of hot water!).
Caulk around countertops, shower and tub enclosure.
Remove switchplate covers, towel & TP holder hardware, shower curtain and general bathroom detritus.
Tape baseboards - the only thing I tape if I'm not painting them. It's really hard to get a clean line along the top of the base
and it protects them from sprinkles.
Paint first coat.
OK, that took 50 minutes. Go paint baseboards in the kitchen, touch up living room where old window covering hardware was removed. Catch up on phone calls, play with their old dog, label all the paint I forgot to label when I painted the rest of the house in June, smoke a cigarette, eat some of their red and green M&Ms (my favourite flavors), smoke another cigarette, twiddling my thumbs waiting for bathroom paint to dry. Repaint bathroom, clean up.
1:20 pm.
Collect money, stop on the way home to get oil and coolant change in truck. Stop at paint store to get paint for next job.
Roads are geting WAY icy. Avoid broadsiding a school bus at a stop sign. Oopsie.
Go home, bring everything freezable into the house because it's in the teens.
Get a call, agility class cancelled because nobody wants to drive out there on the very icy roads.
6 pm.
Hey, I have the night off!
Pay bills.
Address a bunch of Christmas cards.
Decide it's too damn cold to walk dogs. Eat dinner. Chat on phone with friend and discuss Christmas dinner. (Roast leg of lamb, mint sauce, roasted potatoes with rosemary and a bunch of other, mostly fattening stuff.)
Fart around online a while.
Read Barack Obama's first book. It's excellent.
Fall asleep.
Man, what an interesting day!

"Anonymous" - bye bye! LOL. No, I don't need to visit your site to learn how to make extra cash. Thanks anyway.
Karen - I am totally enjoying the Obama book, it's wonderful.
So your agility classmates are not agile enough to go out on the ice? Sounds like winter is now there. We are still just getting cold air and wind...no ice or snow.
If that is a typical work day for you, sounds like a great day. I liked it that you played with the dog at the client's house. You should do a post on the book you're reading.
