Spray Paint

I painted the wrought iron columns of my front porch on Sunday. The rusty parts are all covered up now, so we look less like we belong in a trailer park. I used spray paint, because it took me days and days to paint all the stupid wrought iron railings with brushes last year (oh, and I'll have to do them again, because the rust is showing through) and I didn't want to deal with that again.

Bad idea.

I *still* can't feel the tip of my finger, from having to hold the button on the spray can. It's so weird. It feels kind of like the scar I have on my foot from when I had a cyst removed. Kind of like when your foot falls asleep, right before the pins and needles feeling, there's a weird numbness. It's annoying.

I bought aerosol sunscreen, SPF 50. The regular trigger-spray stuff goes on clear, so I was expecting that. Imagine my surprise when I go to apply this new stuff to DS's back and it looks like a spray-painted him. It works well enough, but you have to spread it around manually. "Ultra Fine Mist", my ass.
