I don't know if it's because I'm so tired, or because I'm pmsing, or if I'm really just this moved, but I got a little teary driving past polling sites today and seeing long lines of people waiting to vote. I love election day! I love seeing people participate in the process, and I can't but hope that something spectacular will happen today.
Really, though, I think I'm just hormonal. Stupid tears. Stupid hormones.
What else...finished putting up the drywall last night, and the wall looks pretty good, though I say so myself. I sanded down the joint compound that we had put on the old drywall, Justin cleaned off the walls, and then we put a coat of sealant up to repair the torn paper. This morning I put up the corner bead on the doorway/opening, and when I get home I will finish taping and start the first layer of skimcoating. I was going to prime first, but I think it will actually be easier to tell which sections of the wall need more help before I put the primer on. Then tomorrow I can sand and prime the walls and be ready for more priming and painting come Thursday and Friday. Whee!
I feel like I have been complaining about this a lot (but hey, it's my blog, dammit) but I really hate have the house in disarray. I am such a hobbit, and not having the house feel like home is really wearing on me. I'm also really sick of dust being everywhere. Ugh! Saturday should be good - all the sanding should be done, so we can clean the place up, put the kitchen together, work on installing the floor, just get lots of stuff done. Yay!
In unexpectedly good news, my boss mentioned that a lot of the bigwigs he was at dinner with last night are voting for Obama (or leaning Democratic, is how he put it) which is quite the unusual situation for insurance company bigwigs. And even Karl Rove is predicting a win for Obama! Awesome!
