I have been childfree from 9.15 and don't get them back until 3.15. Heaven.
I've done my library volunteering and masses of cleaning. I picked up the metallic paint chips yesterday; God, they're gorgeous, but David is adamant we can't afford to paint the bedroom. He wants to keep the navy ceiling as he says it's restful, so it'd just be the walls but I have to say, while stunning, this paint is very expensive at $60 a gallon and with a coverage of a measly 200 sq feet. Two coats of it would be on the pricey side as I just measured up and the approximate wall surface is 400 sq foot. Four tins of it...plus two of primer. Hmm. With tax and a new roller, around $380, maybe.
I compromised; I dug up an ancient can I had mixed to match the current color (the cats jump up on the window sill, back paws scrabbling, and have gouged a bit of the wall to bare plaster from time to time; there's a chair there now to prevent that) and I painted over the mural.
So at least that's gone...

And now I'm off to read the fic :-)
ETA The 26 Teal'c Alphabet Soup fics are all collected here.
26 letters and I chose O (for oranges).
300 words, PG13 for some remembered violence and angst.
( O is for Oranges )
