I had a four foot wide black stripe painted at the shop yesterday.
It went from the front of the store all the way to the back.
Everyone left and I stayed to do a few things and of course I eventually needed to go to the restroom.
In this first photo do you see the door on the OTHER side of the stripe from me?
....yes....that would be the bathroom.
Now I know you are thinking a 4 ft wide stripe would be easy to jump but it was really a little wider
because they taped both sides and there was paint on the tape also.
And this 50 year old overweight out of shape short legged woman was pretty sure she couldn't jump over the stripe.
I took my shoes off and laid them about 4 ft.across from each other on the floor on my side and
practiced jumping (which wasn't helping the bathroom issue)
and could see quickly I was not a jumper.
Sooooo.......an idea came to this "I Love Lucy" mind of mine.
Do you see the door that is open over the stripe?
Well....I pulled and tugged to see if it would hold me and after deciding that it had plenty of strong
screws in the extra large hinges....
I straddled that sucker hanging on for dear life and swung..........
and it stopped.....right in the middle...
Well...i do not have upper body strength and I sure couldn't hold myself on the door with one hand and
push with the other so I was stuck......

I am so glad no one was there to see this!!!
I could only reeeach my big toe as faaaaaaaar as I could (which wasn't far enough)
and pull the door and me closer to the other side. (see photo #2)
(that's nasty...I tried to clean it)
Not quite a complete success but I was at the bathroom...yippeee!!!!
I was happy for about one minute and then I realized............
I had to go BACK over the stripe of wet paint!!!
Same story...black toe.....you know the drill.......
let's all say it together......"Don't tell Shannon"..
