Wow Ashley Thanks! I was going to give an update on my house, but quite overwhelmed by the compliments! WOW!
Let's see if I can get through this typing with one hand as I've got the other patting my back over such positive feedback.
We've got all the flooring laid, all the quarter round done, the tile grouted around the tub, the steps into the jacuzzi tub redone, all but one small 1/2 bath painted from ceiling to baseboards. We have worked on the shower, the toilet, the toilet paper hanger(lol, I told you I'd been neglectful).
We still have two light fixtures to change and that may cause some additional issues in one bathroom. The color on my bedroom wall was not what I thought it was going to be, however, I will live with it unless the house doesn't sell - then it's gotta go....It's baby blue. blue is my favorite color but this is ugly. I've nothing to go with it so staging that room to sell will cost me a bit extra (argh). I got the skylight areas done. I still lack the floor in the kitchen (different type of flooring) and the vestibule, and a couple of odds and ends that are awaiting that completion. I need to go through everything that is boxed up and make three piles, get rid of, keep and put in storage. I need to do that to my storage building outback as well as my attic.
Jury duty ended Tuesday - thank goodness. I had postponed my therapy appointments because of all that was going on and the anxiety got really bad. I am not sleeping like I should and the depression, well, there was a setback. I cried over american idol, silly things, I know that it was really other things that I'd stowed away and that brought it forth. I called last week and got a therapy appt as I was spazing out. Today I went - it really helped alot! I couldn't see any precipitating even except too many things going on and that was frustrating me, however, I got there and things started spewing forth. Reasons for the increased depression as well as the anxiety. on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 be worst. I was up to an 8 with the anxiety and a 6 with the depression. I was scared! Afraid of where I'd been with the depression and where I might be headed which exacerbated the whole thing plus all those other issues. My therapy session lasted an hour and 45 minutes and even I noticed a change in my body language over the course of the session and some relief.
I am dizzy today (well, yesterday) and right now.....my Meniere's Disease rearing it's ugly head. So I wasn't useful to help the woman who has been helping me. I hope I am better tomorrow as I am scheduled to work. Btw, I work at the facility where I get counseling, so it's free and the person I see, though qualified, is an administrator and does not have a caseload, thus the liberty of extended sessions. He thought I needed to come back next week and call if I need him sooner. He does agree I shouldn't have let it get as bad as it did. I thought it was hormonely related but that was proven to be wrong.
Anyway, my anxiety is down even with my depression around a 6. I hope I can get some sleep. I went and got my hair "fixed" today and pampered myself a bit. My friend drove me as with the dizzy, I was unable to drive.
I didn't work on the house for a week and my friend called me and said I'm coming tomorrow and I am working, if you don't, it's okay. Of course, I felt some obligation, and did a bit here and there but was not near as productive. Friends are good.
Okay, I can type pretty good o
