1. Simone requested a house update. It's coming along. We got some stuff hung on the walls - mom does these really great wallhangings. She sent us a few with purple and cool tones. We want to decorate mostly with fabric because there are so many hard surfaces now with all tile or hardwood floors. We can hear the difference in the rooms (even a simple conversation in our living room sounds warmer, somehow. We also put the biggest rug I got in Morocco down on the living room floor, added some curtains that my mom made to the transom windows in the living room and to the door that goes out into the worlds smallest and ugliest balcony off my office. I've got another Morocco rug for my office but it can't go down yet. We put the rest in the master (well Bob did, while I was in Sweden). I think it's too much and may move one of them back downstairs this weekend. Either way, they look nice and don't smell like poop anymore, so that's a win. We still have a bunch of boxes to unpack in the garage, and really just need to buckle down and get it over with. We do need to purchase a rack of some kind for hanging coats in the garage (there is no coat closet in this house!), which is the way we come and go 99% of the time. We also need to pick up another bookcase or two because we have to make up for the built-ins we lost in the move. All my cookbooks and about half of my fiction and tech books are still boxed. It's a pretty small collection now, relative to what it used to be. I've dumped a lot of junk since acquiring the Kindle. Instead of registering for household stuff we decided to register for a buy-a-couch fund for the wedding. It seems ridiculous to ask people for anything, honestly, but if people want to help us out with the house, that's where it's going. I will not be 43 years old and still sitting on my futon from college to watch TV. I WILL NOT.
2. I have now gone four nights without medicating at all. Gonna go for five tonight, but feeling a little wobbly. I slept until 6 on Friday morning. 5 on Saturday morning. 3:45 or so yesterday and today. I took a nap yesterday and today, but it's not going to be possible later in the week. I have too much crap going on at the office that I need to drive in for. I worked out HARD for a solid hour at the gym this morning. We'll see if that means I can sleep a little longer tomorrow. If not, the question becomes, which kind of foggy person do I want to be? The well rested but maybe-slightly-foggy due to low level pot consumption (a piece of caramel made with butter before bed) person, or the totally foggy person who is rarely well rested? I tend to vote for the first. I don't like it, but it seems like a better life option.
3. My calendar scares me. I have so many meetings this week that I'm not going to be able to get any work done. I don't see that changing. It's a problem.
