A stupid dilemma
For my birthday, I elected to get cabinetmaking lessons. I am making a secretary. I am having lots of fun with this, though I find that lots of sawdust really makes me sneeze. That is not really a complaint. I’ve done about a third of the hours, having cut all the pieces to size, but not sanded them yet. (Excluding the pieces that will make the actual drawers.)
After today, the place is shut for two weeks, so tonight is my only chance to sand. I have in the past not enjoyed sanding, though that was a long time ago, so maybe it will be more fun this time. (Ha. Sanding technology, it has not changed. A rotary sander is a rotary sander.)
So the question is, do I go tonight, or do I watch Heroes? I have a DVR, I can of course just watch Heroes at 10 instead of at 8, but that’s somehow less fun. I could just go until 9, and watch the American time.
My better nature vying with my lazier one: will laziness finally lose out?

Just go, ya lazy layabout. I dislike watching live tv now.

I have no opinion on the subject of whether you go, but can I just say that cabinetmaking lessons are the coolest idea for a birthday present EVER.
If only I did not have an irrational fear of power tools, I would shamelessly copy you.

It’s been something I’ve wanted to do for years. And if I take the next set of lessons, I can make a chiffonier with a glass inset in the door. (Or a confiturier, but I think that a chiffonier would be more useful. Or a bench, which is totally non-useful because I already have one.)
I am ok with most of the tools, though I like keeping my hands well away from them.
I did go, and did most of the first set of sanding. Next time I bring my ipod, something plastic to keep it in, and a book on mp3. I just took my ipod out of my purse today — curses. I will need to sand again at 150 (did 100), but not for a few weeks, sadly.
