<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

OK, so my husband left this afternoon for a work trip. We have been talking about renovating our backyard, so I thought hey, I'll start by staining and sealing our crappy wood fence and maybe inspire some additional backyard projects when he sees how much better it looks! We got married  a week ago and I'm also determined to be a good wife, blah blah. I don't normally finish projects I start and I suck at anything of this nature, but I will make it work. 

So I make my way down to my local hardware store and with some help from a store associate, I've got my brush and color and am ready to go. I set up my little work station and open up the can, and start tentatively staining the first plank. 

Success! It's a gorgeous color and I'm proud of myself. I start working on the rest of the section, and step back and admire my handiwork. This was going to take longer than expected, but I was determined to make this work. 

I continue on, but notice something happening. Maybe it's because the sun is setting. No, that doesn't seem to be the problem...why is this shit turning blood red? 

I turn over the can and it says STIR THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE. 

GOD DAMMIT. 

By not stirring it, all of the color had settled to the bottom. So not only is it a lot darker than the other planks, it looks more like paint and I'm almost out of this can. I'll most certainly have to buy 5 more cans and go over all the planks I just did. 

I know it's fixable, I just need to let it dry and survey the damage tomorrow. Probably gonna need to sand it out a little. But now I'm completely unmotivated, the sun has gone down, I'm sweaty, cranky, and I'm going to head out for a beer with friends.
<bot>: started staining fence in backyard, didn't read directions, fucked up, now I don't want to finish before husband gets home and it looks like shit.
