Slave Labor T_T

[tanithryudo]

I've been dragged off for manual labor at the new house for these last two weekends (and any foreseeable non-working weekends). Because of course my parents are too cheap to just hire out. For the most part so far we've been re-painting the various bedrooms, guestrooms, bathrooms, halls, etc.

Upshot is, I come back dead tired and want to do nothing but vegetate. Can't even work up the energy to play GW cuz my right hand/arm/shoulder is cramping like hell and can't grip the mouse well. Oh yeah, and the rest of me aches too.

Plus, how the hell do you get paint primer off of skin? Every time I've had to scrub what seemed like a layer of skin off my hands/arms/face to get it off. Google turns up a bunch of different suggestions - solid shortening, exfoliate, baby wipes/oil, melted butter, lemons (tried this one; stings like hell on the arm)... but there doesn't seem to be a consensus other than don't use paint thinner. -_-

And let's not even get into hair.

The only good thing about this is I finally got a use out of the mp3 player I bought a long time back...

My poor baby! *hugs* If it makes you feel any better, I've been resting up to face the next week and haven't had energy to play either.

(Apparently, my fever is possibly a thyroid problem. Great. >.>)

And don't ask me about the primer. Hell, I don't even know what a primer does! My home improvement skills include calling the landlord and crying about a clogged sink. =.=

At least the mp3 player wasn't wasted. *pets*
