a bit behind (still) but have a make-up plan!!

Ok,
so I am behind...technically. I mean, we're supposed to actually
paint next week, right? But I'm going to be soaking in some sun in the Virgin Islands all next week (don't hate me--I need it!!) so I went ahead and moved our furniture away from the walls, un-installed the bedside shelves and spackled the resulting holes. I bought some Harmony primer too.
I'm going to try to prime our bedroom before I leave, so that when I come back I can get straight to painting my color--which I've had a sample of on the wall for a week now, and I LOVE it!!
I haven't posted any pictures, unfortunately, but I will get to that later today.
I feel behind cause I haven't actually executed some stuff yet, but I've been planning for all of it--i've finalized a list of purchases to make, and realized that some things, like reupholstering my chair may have to wait (for financial reasons). I've made a budget, etc.
I just have to pull the trigger on a lot of it...when i get
back from vacation.
I know I can catch up...just feels like i'm stuck in a holding pattern. I can't exactly order all my furniture, bedding, etc, right before I leave town and I don't have enough time to do my painting before then either...so...
I have a plan of attack for when I return, but for now, its just going to have to seem like I'm not really moving forward.
