Haha, I actually haven't seen her in a couple years, but we did part on friendly terms. I know now not to offer her to stay with me again, though. We get along fine, but her spaciness and lack of attention drives me bonkers.
At one point when she was staying, she asked if she could help me out with anything, and as she's a good artist whose designs I like, I had a plain wooden chair that had already been painted with white paint and told her I'd love her to paint whatever she liked on it. I wanted the colors to co-ordinate with my house, so I went through my paint in the shed, and picked out about 5 colors. As those were in litre cans, and I know she's klutzy and inattentive, I figured I'd avoid any disaster by pouring some of each of those colors into small containers,. otherwise she'd likely spill them or get the colors mixed into each other. However, the red wasn't in a can, it was in a half-litre square plastic jug with a screw top, so I just gave her that one as is.
I set her up on the terrace with a drop cloth underneath to do the painting. Well, within the first 3 minutes, she managed to knock over the red container, there was red paint all over the place, and in trying to clean it up, she managed to get red paint all over my kitchen faucet, my outdoor metal staircase, and tracked all over the terrace. Then she got the hose which attaches to a faucet in my storeroom to wash off the terrace. But when she was done with the hose, instead of turning it off at the faucet, she just turned the hose nozzle and hung it back on the hook in the storeroom. But the hose nozzle drips a bit, and I didn't realize she hadn't turned off the faucet until 2 days later when I saw the floor soaked, the water had run under the concrete floor, soaking the dirt underneath, and a week later a long crack appeared in the terrace tiles.
She's a challenge, to be sure.
