More Home Improvements!

I'm so excited!  Thursday, we are getting new carpet.  We were going to wait until next year because of the window expense (and that was a big one), but we've thought it over, discussed it fully, and have decided to go ahead and do it!  

Sunday was rough for me.  I wanted to get a jump start on the job of packing away breakables, books, and CD's.  It sounds easy in print, but it wasn't.  I was very sleep deprived (see two posts down), and I couldn't focus.  I became overwhelmed, because my mind kept lumping all the tasks together into one huge job, instead of seeing it as one task at a time (actually, this happens to me a lot).  I seriously considered taking a nap, and starting my work on Monday with a fresh mind.  That was not to be.  Sleep was impossible, when all I could do was think of all the work ahead.  I finally got up, and plunged in.  It was haphazard, with me running around in a confused frenzy, but I did manage to get several boxes packed.  Sadly, it wasn't until Dave took them out to the shed that I began to relax.  Poor Dave, wanted to rest, and I didn't let him, but we were both glad it was done.  We finished up our packing Monday, and now we're ready for the carpet people to come.  Wish I didn't have to wait until Thursday....
