I’ve got a room on the third floor of my house that I have designated as my office. \u00a0It’s got two windows (that need to be replaced, but one problem at a time) and tile floor. \u00a0The walls are an off-white\/pinkish color and the floor tile is in bad shape under the rug.<\/p>\n
I decided to paint this room and step one was to clear out the desk that had been left behind. \u00a0It was a bear to take apart and heavy to move even in pieces. I can see why they left it. \u00a0 Once it was gone, I took up the rug to find it was disintegrating and would need to be replaced. \u00a0When the room was finally cleared, I went paint shopping. \u00a0Took a while, but I finally decided on a color called Billiard Green. \u00a0Very dark. \u00a0And very green. \u00a0And no, it’s not easy being green, but I like it.<\/p>\n
I started painting on Sunday and even as careful as I was, I dripped some paint on the floor. \u00a0Not a big deal since I was planning on covering the tile with a new rug anyway, but I didn’t want to track it around the room and through the rest of the house if I stepped in it. \u00a0So, down the stairs I went to get a wet paper towel. \u00a0At the doorway from the stairwell to the second floor, I moved in exactly the wrong direction and banged my head on the door frame. \u00a0And since my usual speed is a good clip, I hit it hard.<\/p>\n
I dropped to the ground in a pose as close to a Tebow as I’m ever likely to get and swore for a while until I was pretty sure: \u00a0a). that I wasn’t going to pass out \u00a0b). that I wasn’t bleeding and c). that I most likely didn’t give myself a concussion.<\/p>\n
I got up and went to bathroom to inspect the damage. \u00a0The impact had given me a rectangular red mark on my forehead and \u00a0– when I inspected the door frame later – had scraped off some skin. \u00a0I put on a band-aid and later added a hat for my trip to Walmat for some neosporin.<\/p>\n
I finished up my painting for the day and my co-worker had a good laugh when he called me later and I told him about the injury. \u00a0 \u00a0He laughed again when I showed him the mark yesterday and asked if I could see the future with my third eye.<\/p>\n
Tonight I’ll move stuff back into place and get a photo once it’s done. \u00a0 Looking forward to my new green office – and finally getting to use the desk I built.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
