Housely Renovations 4 - sick.

[panik]

Oh lawdy law, I do feel queer;  dizzy and sick and faint. Ick.

Progress has been made, Mark's finished painting the woodwork in the bedroom. I've sanded down the plaster-skimmed walls and woodwork in the spare, washed all the walls down with sugar soap (O:! They were so dirty! You just can't tell how manky your house has got till you start something like this) and was painting said walls - I managed to get 1 and a half done before I had to give it in before I passed out. I don't know if it's the paint or if I'm just not well but I feel just awful.

I hope I'm not actually ill. I don't think so, but I've never had a reaction to paint before. ::shrug:: It's a mystery. (o:

But hey ho, that's that for today, anyway, so I'm of for a bath  - picking my way past the pile of bags and boxes we've had to dump in there because the only other 2 rooms upstairs are works-in-progress.

Such is life. I suppose I'd better go and write some fic then...

Aww baby - time to quit and give yourself the evening off. It's probably whatever you did to yourself on Friday coming back to have another go at you... Feel better soon ::snuggles & pets & passes over some smut::

Ooh! Smut!

Oh dear, not so good.

You are probably right though, it's the paint fumes. They can be awful, even if it says odour free or whatever.

Take care of yourself.

Not good at all.

Nope.

I feel better now so maybe it was the paint. I'll have to throw open all the doors and windows before I start tomorrow.

Thanks for the good wishes hon. (o:

I feel fine now, thanks hon but it was very nasty while it lasted. I'll have to keep all the windows open tomorrow. Such a nuisance - I was planning to get the first coat finished today. ::sigh::

Passing out is never good, regardless of reason. You need to take it easy for a day or two, don't overdo things. And yeah, paint fumes can be pretty horrible. I usually end up with a terrible headache.
