*scrubs white paint off a knuckle*

...This morning I got a chance to do some painting on the new dolls. They're now primed and ready for scary zombie makeup. I feel really good about the first really official use of the Rainy Day Craft Room for painting:)

I feel fairly relaxed, too...last night I finished the main construction of the devil hat I'm making while watching a movie. I'm getting used to bathing in the smallish clawfoot tub. (It can be a little tricky; there's only the shower head right now to fill it, so sometimes to adjust the water temp I use the time-tested bucket of hot water method. A bit old-fashioned, but it'll do until I get a proper faucet on the thing.) I cooked a bit and puttered and did a little laundry and slept well. Not bad for a work night--if it's a long one I have just enough energy to straggle home, eat something, clean up and read myself to sleep. I've been cranky about it, too...feeling like I need more downtime just to recharge. (Well, this last week I was in to work seven days in a row; no wonder.) Good thing this coming week will be a kinder, gentler one. I'll be a much happier creature:)

But for now, time to get through the workies. And that means getting that damned Underpants Gnome song right out of my head. How DOES this stuff get in my head like this? How?!?!
