Finish was applied to our floor today
I was knocked for a loop. Literally.
I was standing at the kitchen sink, Chad the floor guy said it will smell a little while so he had cracked some windows in the bedroom and turned on the fan.
The fumes hit me in the face like a tidal wave. The room grew white, my knees got wobbly and I honestly felt I was going down.
I said to Jack, "I need help...." which was kind of silly because she can barely walk, let alone catch me.
I staggered to the front door and went outside, breathing in some cold, clean air. After a couple of minutes I felt better.
Then the headache came.
Now, maybe it is not the fumes. Maybe it is the stress, or the confusion, or the fact I turned my head too fast.....but I felt like crap.
I sat in my recliner in the den, opened the windows, climbed under an electric blanket and hibernated for a couple of hours.
I made Jackie's lunch, then I had lunch. Cheese on pumpernickel with a beef stick. Can of cherry Pepsi. Some chips. Then I went crazy. Cheetos. Chips and dip. Chocolate. Three kinds of cookies. An orange. Another orange. Peppermint Kisses.
I was like a run away engine on a downward slope.
There is a groove from the den to the kitchen, worn by me as I ate everything I could find.
When supper time came, I was not hungry. My stomach was/is a little upset. I still have a headache.
But the floor has two coats of finish, with one more to come tomorrow. Then it is let it cure for two days before moving furniture back in on Monday.
I just hope we have enough food until then.
Peace and Love and pass the chips
