sandpaper 'n acrobatics

How is it that I can wake up in the morning, have plans to accomplish a reasonable amount of tasks during the day... and yet it's 9:25pm and the bed isn't made with fresh sheets?  The bed has been stripped... new sheets are next to the bed.  And yet, somehow, I think it's too late - and would rather just throw my blankets on top of the bed and sleep with no sheets tonight.  (doesn't help that my bed is very high, in the corner of the bedroom, so I have to do a bit of acrobatics to actually change the sheets - never mind.  It's a long story).

Had two painters come give me estimates for painting 1/2 the basement and the wood panneling on the 2nd floor... needless to say, they came, looked, measured, and will call me 'in a few days' with an estimate for the work.  Ummmmm, methinks it's going to be very $$.  and I may as well go ahead and do the work myself.  Which is fine, except I am a perfectionist... and I'd need to get all the things done before I could actually paint (including using sandpaper on the walls - which I feel would trigger my asthma, and would make me tired, thus making it almost impossible to complete the painting project).  Ugh.  I was doing pretty well with the whole get-house-ready-to-sell-and-apply-for-new-job-and-relocate-to-new-city-and-work-full-time-and-don't-forget-to-do-all-the-regular-stuff-you-need-to-do-too...until the whole paining thing.  Blech.

Hope we'll get a snow day this week - then maybe I could start painting and packing and organizing and sorting and tossing and donating and... oh no.  Now I'm getting overwhelmed.  Maybe I should just go to sleep...goodnight.

take care - be well, whenever you are.
