Man, is it hot.

We are almost done though! I realize I’ve been saying that for like, a week, but tonight? Tonight we will be back in our own bed! YAY!

Only hitch was that when we peeled the tape off the window trim, the top layer of trim paint came with it.  Whoops.  Not a huge deal though, since we had just said "now that we have a chair rail, our window trim looks shitty" and it doesn’t mean moving out to get it repainted.  I’ll work on that tomorrow.

Of course, the trim paint coming up put the fear of lead into me.  Reading the leery polyp’s story, coupled with Amy’s son’s lead test, had me panicking. I mean, what if I get pregnant and I’m breathing in lead? WHAT IF?  I picked up some lead tests today, swabbed the most suspicious areas, and what do you know, negative.  Of course, then Dave said "Well, think of what [previous owner] did for work…"

Oh yeah.  He was an EPA air quality scientist guy, and she was a physician’s assistant. And she was about 7 months pregnant when we bought the house. And there were two other kids that lived here, too. So, um,yeah. I guess they would have probably taken care of any lead problem really quickly.

As it is, I’m on a break, I am sweating like never before, hand scrubbing the floor (some dribs and drabs of wallpaper are stuck there, which just takes some elbow grease to come up) before I sweep, vac, and mop, and then as a final touch, I will be using some Floor Rejuvenater (Couldn’t find Halloway House or Old English at the depot, natch) and then, then i can make the bed! And bring in our nightstands and such! YAY!

Still. it’s hot. It was about 93 when we went to DQ for a lunch of small blizzards, and dave even used the A/C. For dave to use the A/C? You KNOW it’s hot.
