Well I am starting day four of the S'Whine flu and am really feeling a lot better. I felt pretty good yesterday afternoon so painted another room - now there is only one left and I can live with that - even if it doesn't get painted for a few weeks. I couldn't stand having five undone.
This is the first time we have used the satin finish paint and I am not sure if I like it or not. It is hard to tell where you need to add paint and where you are ok. The finish is weird when it is starting to dry...it may be nice when it is dry though - and since I have already paid for it I'll use the rest even if I don't like it.
Inklings and I both had a rough night coughing our heads off every hour or so. Sleep wasn't really possible during those bouts so I think she will be really tired today.
Some say the world will end with fire.
Others say with ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those that favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate,
To say that for destruction ice,
Is also great and would suffice.

I use the Satin finish although, like you, I'm not sure how much I like it. The one thing I really do like about it though is that it is easier to wash fingerprints off of. I wish I was as ambitious as you. I have several rooms that need painting. I have started on one, but never had gotten around to finishing it.
The salesman talked us into it by telling us it was the most durable and scrubbable paint.
I hope you are both back to 100% soon, it's no fun being sick!
Just for the record I haven't been 100% since 1968 - when I finished wrestling at the Nationals - too lazy to work that hard again.;=)
But I have been way less that I wanted to be the last three years - I really hated not being able to pass the arduous pack test for fire. REALLY. REALLY. HATED. THAT.
