Things are looking UP

• It seems that 11 hours of sleep have made all the difference. I'm feeling, if not yet 100%, much, much better.


• The washer should be fixed before I go to sleep tonight. We will leave it at should as I do not want to anger the appliance Gods. As of this moment, I did not have to pay for Sears to come fix my washer. I download the schematic of the motor and forced my husband to pull it apart himself. I watched the repair guy the last time it broke and had a feeling it was the same part. I was right. It was. Now if we can just get our hands on said part and put the machine back together we are good. Otherwise? I may have to call and pay eleventy-million dollars in labor just to have them put the thing back together.


• My pipe is enclosed and the new wall is up. YAY! Looks lovely. Now all I need is a new ceiling, a bit of work over the door frame, some trim and a whole lot of paint. Then I can begin my work on the foyer. I have decided to leave the floor until after the rest is done. (That means for another life time.) It actually seems doable now though. Big breakthrough.


• My size 10 jeans STILL FIT. (I shall take the good news where I can.)


• The boys go back to school in 1.5 days.


• I offically begin applying for jobs on Tuesday. (wait, is that a good thing?)


• I just downloaded The Very Best of Elvis Costello. Ah... I missed him.
