Partway

Got the paint this morning. Got a large part of the sunken living room painted. Let it dry and laid another coat. Then let that dry and touched up spots that needed it. 

So far it's looking good!

Now I have to let that side of the room dry, move things around and start on the other side of the room. 

Oh, crap. Not yet. Just realized I have to get the corner edges. Means getting on the ladder. May as well get the baseboards done too. 

If doing that, I'll get the fireplace done.

As far as straight painting, the sunken living room is the biggest job. Other rooms are going to need plaster. 

Not feeling so motivated. Things finally hit me emotionally. The whole thing of daughter telling me she thinks we never bonded seriously hurts. Right now I am not sure what the hell I am doing, where I am going or why. Is anything I am doing, anything I have ever done for anything good? Can I do anything right? 

I'm hoping this all comes down to a combination of teen angst, just a phase, distance for too long and (maybe) her mother's influence. 

Of course, I am still going to AL. Be near her. I will not try to force her to spend time with me if she doesn't want to. All that would do is make her resent me. 

F*ck my life.
