I Went to Lowe’s for Paint and It Escalated

Today was a long day.

Not the kind of long day where you forget to eat lunch.

The kind of long day where you take down fourteen Christmas trees and still say that number out loud like it’s normal.

Every room in our house has a theme. Every room.

Which means every room also has a personality, an opinion, and a box labeled fragile but emotionally loaded.

Somewhere between tree number seven and tree number nine, I made the mistake of thinking:

We should freshen things up.

Enter: Lowe’s.
