I started on my floor today around 3p? Painted a latex primer on, then had to sit around waiting for it to dry. After drawing a bunch of scribe lines to get my center-lines straight, I laid out the tiles. It's now 11:40p, and aside from stopping for a half-hour around 4:30p for a sandwich, and then again around 8:30p for leftover Chinese, I've been working on that floor the entire time. My knees are killing me, my wrists/hands are aching, my back muscles are burning, and I've been sweating non-stop, even though I've had the a/c on.
I have to admit, I think I did a really good job, (it looks really good!) but damn it was close on having enough tiles to finish it. I tiled under the stove area & the refrigerator, but only had enough to do under the front half of where the dishwasher will go. I also had to piece together some of the edge pieces, but most of those seams are near the corners (or under appliances) and won't be very visible. Next thing I have to do is install the baseboard trim and a couple of edge-guards for where the transitions from room to room are.
I have pictures of the before & after, and (along with several other pics from earlier) I plan on uploading them in the next couple days. Once I get that done, I'll post the link again, so you can see my handy-work!
On a different topic, as I'm now out of Xanax, I had some drinks last night for the couple of shows I saw. Overall I had a good evening, but I'm still a little disappointed in the fact that I couldn't go without. It's ok though, I don't have anything going on (show-wise) this week, so I can make it to my Wed. appt. & hopefully I'll get my prescription. I'm really hopeful that this will help me to be more outgoing. I'd like to try to get back to college for the winter semester (as this one's already started) & see if that might open up some social circles (as well as, obviously, learning some cool new shit!). Not sure what I'm going to take yet - maybe German, maybe I'll take some kind of music course (guitar, piano, etc.) or maybe a creative writing/poetry course!?
Wow, I'm tired. I need a shower, then I'm going to bed. 'Night...
