It was the Bank Holiday, after all
I sanded and undercoated
Painted ceilings and walls
Twice
Did my best to make it look good
Worked hard
Muscles ache and my body
It's crying
There's dust and broken nails
Paint speckles and splotches on the carpet
But it's old
So it doesn't matter
It's been cathartic
To paint over the old and make new
But now it's nearly over
And the paint tubs are empty
The room looks great
And the hard work has been worth it
But I know
Come tomorrow
I'll have the DIY Blues
