Just for today I can take small steps to make my living space beautiful. Today when my friend James called me I was proud to say that I was painting my bathroom instead of being at the beach. When he asked me if I was in a well-ventilated room, I told him that I was in my bathroom, a small enclosed space with no cross breeze, sweating bullets and feeling very nauseated. He suggested I take a break and go outside for a bit. Luckily, I did go outside and avoided passing out in the bathroom. Today, I learned that it's OK to take ones time while painting to avoid being poisoned by paint fumes. Just for today, I can work on my apartment and not get sick.
