Master bedroom is done!
Well almost...the outlets and switches need to be replaced with new white ones, light fixture needs to be changed, and floors refinished, but other than that and decorating, it's done! It's a cool soft light sky blue color, that makes the room bright and airy. I love the color we chose, and I think we can make it look fantastic once we can start decorating it. I'll post pics when it's ready.
I want to go back to normal...
Normal? What's that these days? I feel like my life has been going through some ups and downs lately...not anything bad...just lots of anxiousness. I've been feeling like I'm running, constantly doing stuff, but without a focus. Work has been incredibly busy, and consuming every ounce of energy and time I have. Not to mention, my house won't renovate itself, so getting off work at 8pm, searching for a quick dinner, then back home to work on the house to about 12 is very exhausting.
I've been getting these anxiety/panic attacks, where literally, out of the blue my heart just starts racing, I become frantic, become angry over stupid stuff , and get blistering headaches. My whole body just feels achy and tired. I hardly sleep much any more, which has caused me to rely on sleep aids to feel somewhat rested the next day. I'm not depressed and I'm very happy with everything, so it's kind of strange for me to have these feelings. So I always feel nervous, anxious, unprepared, and stressed out. It's associated with work and the renovations of our house. I need the renovations to hurry up and get finished so I can focus on work. But if I could stabilize work, then that may help the anxiousness to subside a bit. I just don't want everything to crumble on me. I've worked too hard for everything I have achieved.
Despite the rollercoaster, it has been a fun ride. Hard work does pay off, and I know the rewards will be worth it.

Boston, JB, & Charleston
I'm trying to remain sane these past few weeks. Lots going on -
Husband and I went to Boston for a short weekend trip - definitely helped destress. We got to see many sites of Boston, Harvard, and ate as much seafood as we could. I wished we had enough time to go to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, but we'll try to hit those next time. The city is really neat, I enjoyed the many shops and restaurants. We wondered aimlessly for the most part as we tour whatever part of the city we could by foot. I ended up with a stress-fracture on the second day and cried myself to sleep by 9pm that night because it was so incredibly painful. Surprisingly enough, the next morning, the pain was gone and I was back at sightseeing again.
JB is now in almost full effect - will be working on the website soon. 13Deals.com is now operated by JB.
Brother came over and spent the last week here. He was supposed to help me with alot of stuff around the house, but he ended up doing hardly anything except overfeeding my dog with treats because she whines at him. He left today.
Spent this past weekend in Charleston with Scott and Jess. They rented a beachouse for a month while they did their rotations down there. I came back home with 30 mosquito bites. Had enough shrimp burgers to last me awhile. Slept on the beach for several hours....received a mild sunburn. I think I wanna go sea-kayaking sometime.
Sort of liking the idea that I'll be spending the next 3 weeks alone...perhaps I'll get lots done with no distractions. Will be going to Memphis next week for my US Citizenship exam.
