Sep. 17th, 2016 08:18 pmPainting my own house sucks. It's much easier to do someone else's. I'm sure there's lots of psychology theory behind that. But anyway after 2.5 days of intermittent work, we're done with the two small bedrooms. That leaves the hallway and the master bedroom to do, which I really don't wanna. The master has vaulted ceilings and is HUGE, so I know it's gonna take forever, and also it's only just now occuring to me that I don't have a ladder tall enough, so unless I can borrow one tomorrow, I can't really do it anyway. I guess I could also buy one. It wouldn't be the worst thing to have an extension ladder. But they're spendy and I don't think I could get it home from the store in my Prius.
Uber did a driver incentive thing for this weekend, so I went out driving last night for a few hours. I almost never do night time driving, and usually only log in long enough to do three or four rides, then call it good and go home. But I wanted to take advantage of the incentives and I was feeling good, so I did. Altogether I made about $30/hour, which is definitely a good wage, but also it felt like such a grind. It felt like I was out there much longer than I was, and when I came home, I wasn't tired enough to go to sleep, so I was up until 3am, and then tired all day today, and just blah. But I've got nothing better to do tonight, so I'll go back out for a little while and see how it goes. It's crazy how many people I was picking up at midnight last night to take TO their evening plans. Like, most nights, midnight is the latest I would even dream of staying out. But these folks were just getting started. Damn.
Taborgrass is back in session for the fall, and so far I'm keeping up well enough with the intermediate class. I practiced really hard all week and was really pleased at how much I was able to improve on the one tune I've been working on. When I first looked at the music, it was a "yeah...haha, no" situation, but after breaking it down and gradually building up to it, I had it more or less figured out in a week. The next song is harder still, though, so we'll see. I'm still loving my instrument, though.
