So I thought I’d be done moving crap out of my old bedroom by about midnight. I was only off by an hour. Not bad, really.<\/p>\n
I was pretty stressed out this morning, mainly because there aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything I need to do. The saga of my home renovations continues and when I got home from Japan on Wednesday I noticed they left the back door unlocked but I didn’t see them at all. Thursday was the same thing. Friday, however, the house looked like a war zone because the drywallers had started up. Turns out that if I really wanted to get the upstairs all looking “modern,” I needed to clear everything out. I opted for the “do what we can” approach of just having my old bedroom done. That meant I had to have everything cleared out after the drywallers were out on Saturday afternoon and before they got here on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately I had also signed up for a kettlebell certification by Steve Maxwel<\/a>l (which turned out to be well worth the time and money) and I only had the evenings to do all this crapola. Plus, most days after I sit down after dinner, I end up falling asleep and drooling on myself. Ah, well, I finally decided that this was just another thing I needed to get through and figured I’d be done by about midnight. Here I am at 1:30AM waiting for my laundry to finish, something else I forgot to do. I don’t think I’m going to be to work on time tomorrow.<\/p>\n One of the things they talked about at the certification was “realistic goals” and unfortunately my goal is to have the upstairs looking good and that interferes with my goal of getting a decent amount of sleep. Good thing there’s coffee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I thought I’d be done moving crap out of my old bedroom by about midnight. I was only off by an hour. Not bad, really.
