The Appearance of Un-Progress

This is 9 am, day 5 of my bedroom painting project.  Yeah, this is hard deadline completion day.  Not only is the room far from ready for move-in, the paint used on the mill-work is highly noxious and makes my eyes water to get near it.  I paid an extra $100 for zero VOC wall and ceiling paint, because???  To then use this standard toxic formula on all of the doors and trim just does not make sense to me.  Fool that I am, I neglected to specify this to the painter.  And he is a what because he didn't ask?  After having a melt down last evening, I collected myself and repeated in my head "I am not a victim.  I am not a victim".  I made some decisions to shorten the paint process, told the painter to never use that formula in my home again (nicely), and believe it or not the room will be ready this afternoon.  My BFF of 20 years commented, about my complaining  "What, are you some kinda princess?" Well, duh.

Princess? Well of course you are.
I hope the noxious fumes dissipate quickly!
