Seriously a Wimp!

I have been trying to get back into the home project mode, although I am finding it quite difficult.  After about 2 minutes of working on any project my clothes are completely drenched.  One might think that this wouldn't be an issue, but I keep finding it to be a good excuse to stop after 30 minutes.  The following are my lame excuses:

1.  Sweat keeps running into my eyes and I can't see.
2.  My extremities stick to everything I am working on.
3.  There is no A/C in my house so once I get hot, I stay this way.
4.  I don't want to shower 12 times a day.

Today I got a few more steps completed on my shower.  They involved placing sealant and it sounds like it would be easy, but it felt like a sauna.  Then I started to sand down my little cupboard in my nook.  There is some sort of oil paint that does not want to come off, but I also discovered that it has glass windows, which have been painted over.  I haven't been able to get any part of it sanded down to the wood because the paint keeps forming clumps and sticking to the sander.  Plus, once again I was sweating buckets.  I just gave up and am not sitting with sweat rolling down my entire body.  Perhaps I will climb in the tub.

You need to invest in an air unit that you put in your window!
