We’ve been busy at Chez Sueeeus. The homes in the neighborhood were starting to look a bit tired, and some of the neighbors decided to have theirs painted. Ours was looking a bit shabby, so we decided to keep up with the Joneses, only we didn’t hire out, and we used three colors rather than two. I wanted a dark grey with a hint of slate, but when applied to a large surface, my carefully chosen color turned out more blue. Even so, I like it much better than the original track home bland neutral pastels that comprise most of Suburbia.

I painted the lower half, and Mr. Gadget painted the high parts. I did a little high ladder work, but it was a bit too frightening to be teetering on a flimsy aluminum ladder, so I let the other half risk his life instead. We saved about a thousand dollars or more in labor, and Mr. Gadget ended up with a fancy new ladder and platform to boot. Now he has fewer excuses for future high reaching honey do’s, I’ve noticed that days upon days of slave labor has been somewhat beneficial to the blood sugar equation, and finally, I am reminded to be thankful that I don’t have to toil for a living.
