Stress
Life has been a little crazy lately. Bill is out of the country, the construction is in full force, work is grueling, and my child is part monster. (The other part is all sweetness and good things). The house is in shambles. Nothing is where it should be, somethings don't even has a place for it to be. The floor has crud all over it thanks to the junk being tracked in the house from the construction stuff. Plus, there's junk being tracked around from the interior areas that are being worked on. And, it's humid so the floor feels a million times worse. The kitchen faucet continually leaks ever since they moved the hot water heater. I tried to remove the cartridge from it to clean pipe-crud from it, but couldn't, thus it's still leaking a gallon every 25 minutes. I had to shut the hot water off from under the sink and have to turn it on when I need hot water. My attempt to fix a fill valve on one of the toilets was futile, it still leaks. My dumb dog took off yesterday after a woman walking her dog on a leash. Thank goodness nothing happened. Except the dumb dog (my dumb dog) is again at the top of the poop list.
The good parts are, I finally was able to strip the beds down and wash the accumulated dust off of them from when the bedrooms only had 3 walls. (Really. Two bedrooms lost a wall each last week.) My vacuum cleaner, that I thought was broken, is working again. My monster/sweetie is napping. My desk is almost clutter free on one side. The toilet that I replaced the fill valve on doesn't leak as much as it used to. I can start putting some things back in Billy's room since the drywall is done. It just needs to be painted. We've made selections on the entry doors, flooring, and pretty much have the fixtures selected.
I fell asleep with Billy last night when putting him to bed. That was around 11pm. I normally try not to sleep, but if I do take a "nap", it's usually from an hour to two. Last night, I slept until 6:15am. Oops. I knew I was tired though.
Oh well. Back to work since he's sleeping. Peace and quiet. No whining or crying. No hammering, sawing, or drilling.
