After last night's prep work, I decided to call in today and spend the day getting my bedroom painted and put back together. It took a lot longer than the last time, but I am really thrilled with the way the color turned out. I never knew how much sweating I do by painting a room, it really wore me out.

Just as I was getting the room done, the light switch on my bedroom sink light screwed up. After the last $177 visit by an electrician (and the subsequent well-deserved jabs from you guys), I elected to fix this one myself. So back to Home Depot for a new switch and a stop off to get Domino's Pizza for dinner. Oh the manager there is a nice looking guy named Jake, early 30's, tall and leaner, blue eyes, dark hair with furry chest and arms, and a graying goatee.. sigh... but I digress...

So when I get the switch plate off and pull the switch out I realize that the wires look nothing like the box. There are supposed to be one copper wire, one black and one white. Well, there were a lot more than that. It's false advertising if you ask me. So I panicked and called [livejournal.com profile] aceofspace who helped walk me through it. The switch is working again. I feel so much more butch and saved about $175.

The bedroom is put back together finally after 12 hours of painting and stuff and I am exhausted. I would love to call in again tomorrow, but I think I'd be pushing my luck. Darn it...
