Little Project Fail

This is it.
This is the way the bathroom mirror
and wall sconces have looked for about
twenty years.  

Well, actually there is this
 leprosy that has developed on the lights.
That wasn't there twenty years ago. 

I had been thinking that it would
not be a big project to replace the
shades.
I would also like to paint the metal
parts.  I think that
involves turning off the electricity,
using a screwdriver, and sanding
off the rust.
Might need a little help,
or at least instruction, for that.

BUT I found these frosted glass shades
for
 less than two dollars 
apiece at Goodwill!

I love the look!

Unfortunately, they don't really fit.

Oh, well.
What I have is pretty good. :)

Courage! Oh, My!

I know it does not look like
much, but I got the drawers
of my dresser emptied,
organised and closed.

Hard to feel encouraged when it is this
bad.  Oh, well.  I did something, rather
than going back to bed and trying to
forget about it.
(Also got some laundry & dishes done,
some bills paid, supper cooked
and a tiny bit of scrubbing on
our dirty siding.
It was a perfect day for scrubbing,
but anything involving lifting has
to be done in "little bites," for me.)
