Almost moving time!

Sounds like you're getting settled!! Dark colors are sooo hard to paint. Sometimes roller stokes can be a problem, sounds like that's not one for you though. Ah, home ownership!!

Hope all works out well and you have a nice visit with your friends this weekend!!!!

Unfortunately, it's not going to be done by tomorrow night. I have barely slept in the past 3 weeks and I've gotten even more sick. I caught Scott's cold and it's been terrible. I took yesterday off work, got the painting done and got my cable and internet hooked up. Last night the plan was to get my bed put together and unpack my room. Scott couldn't remember where he put the screws and wood dowels for my bed and we tore the place apart until 1 am looking for them. Things just keep going wrong and I had to just sit down and cry. When I started I couldn't stop. I have been so stressed out.
I finally got to sleep around 3 and when my alarm went off at 5:50 there was no way I could get up... my head was pounding and I was so stuffed up. I took a sick morning and slept until 10, and then I got up and had my first bath in my deep soaker tub with "Cranilla" epsom salts. Wow. If I bought my condo just for that tub it would be worth it!
Now at work we have a project that just came to my attention and it's huge and due tomorrow. They haven't even started the design yet. So it looks like I will be stuck in the office all night. I'm so sick of this b.s. that goes on at work. Last week Scott was working until 5:30 in the morning, two days in a row, because they decided to lay things on him last minute. It's so stressful and so unhealthy, and it's because the engineers sit on these projects until the last minute and then decide to work on them under the gun and then we're stuck here with them until all hours of the night.
I am so stressed out I just can't handle it.

Oh, Lindsey, so sorry you are going through all of this. No advise for you, just a shoulder to lean on. So hope you get well soon and everything comes together for you!!!

Lindsay, what you are going through is pretty normal - moving being stressful, that is. Then when you throw in a crappy job situation, well, it makes it just downright awful!

I just hate fixing up the house, painting and all. It always puts me in a bad mood! We had a lot of the siding on our house replaced and the whole house painted - WHILE WE WERE GONE ON VACATION - cuz we hate the mess and bother of the repairs. It is always stressful, but worth it because it belongs to you. It will be just fine when it is over, I promise!

Lindsey · 08-13-2009, 07:21 PM

Well it's 9:30 pm and I'm still at work... STILL waiting for a design!!! The worst part is I can't now claim my morning as sick time so I'm just getting up to my 8 hours for the day (i just took an hour to go eat). I had to miss my last class at the gym and nothing is getting done on my condo tonight

I won't even have a bed to sleep in yet. Poor Layla needs to be fed as soon as possible but I can't take any time to go home. The stupid restaurant took so long with our food!
Gayle, I told Scott that when we buy a house together we can hire someone to paint. He just said no it's more fun doing things together! This was when I had done days and days of painting. Then he painted ONE CLOSET and told me he hates painting and we should hire someone if we buy a house lol.

Lindsay! My husband HATES to paint - he wouldn't even paint a closet!!! He would NEVER paint the outside of the house!!!

I'm sorry you had to stay at work all night last night. Hopefully, you'll get things finished up in the condo this weekend!

Oh Lindsey! I LOVE to paint and wallpaper and decorate! I wish I were closer so I could help you. You are just tired and sick sweetheart. Do try to get some rest
