Paint

I am trying to paint the walls of my room.

It turns out my mom is an expert in wall painting. It should be no surprise to me since she and my father have painted nearly every room in our house twice over the last several years of our residence.

She speaks of semi-gloss, kilz, cleaning solution and drop cloths like a pro. What a woman. The only thing I've done so far is go on a rampage of (1) the crawl space, looking for empty boxes, and (2) my room, emptying drawers and filling boxes indiscriminately with all the contents of my room. No organization or concern for sorting - just boxing. And at some point I gave up, because there was just too much stuff. And when I asked if Mom was impressed, I was disappointed by her answer, because she told me I didn't need to have emptied my drawers and she wished I would have covered the quilt in my sister's room before I out boxes on it.

In my last post, I wondered if the world was meant to be seen alone or with others. It seems painting a room is not meant to be done by oneself. Rampages might be more successful with prior advising.
