This too, shall pass.......

I'm so tired right now it's not even funny. I want to go to sleep. Why don't I, you say? Because they're doing the roof right now (and will be for the next 2 weeks!!!!!). So a lot of loud noise, right over my head. I am not amused. Especially since this was supposed to have been done last year! Our old manager gave us a notice in springtime, letting us know that the appartments would all be painted and the roofs re-done. The painting, as some of you may recall, ended up taking most of the year, not finishing until it was too cold to really keep your doors open, but we weren't allowed to close them for fear of them being painted shut. I told our new manager this, and she was shocked. At least this time, when we got the notice, it actually started the day she said it would. Now I can only hope it'll actually end when they're supposed to, too.

I think I'm going to try and lay on the couch. If I'm lucky, I may just pass out after all.

Woot! Haven't gotten a lot done that's on my to do list still, but instead I got something else done. We finally have a futon-type thingy under our matrasses, so we now sleep higher up and are no longer just on the floor. It's not as good as a proper bedframe, but a heck of a lot better. At least, that's what we are hoping for anyway. Still have to try sleeping on it of course. Also got the bedroom vacumed, and laundry's in the process of being done. All in all, a good day. Though I will admit that my back's screaming at me right now. There's no more help to be had from Dustin, as he's hurting too much to move right now, and has just now also fallen asleep on the couch. Couldn't keep himself awake any longer, I guess. Not surprising, given the week he's had.
Hey, at least I got stuff accomplished today, so I'm happy. I have to stay up so I can go to a meeting at church tonight, but after that I'm looking forward to conking out. In the meantime, I'm trying to keep myself occupied with dishes and LJ. Might do some knitting later, if Dustin'll give me room enough to sit down lol.

**edit** Well, no knitting for me. He's splayed all over the couch, as usual. But, I did finish the laundry. On an aside... I'm in love! With Towels! Weird, you say? Nay, not really. We had to get some new towels the other week, got them at Costco. My goodness! I've never owned such lush, soft, thick towels! They're nice and blue and big! Also got some aubergine colored ones, just as lush. I know I used to say that spending money on something like towels was pointless, but I take it back! I know I didn't really pay that much for them, since I had gotten a Costco cash card and used the money from it to cover most of the expense, but still! Towels are most definately on the list of worth spending money on. *sighs happily* They're so thick that I hardly have room in my cubbords for them, which is a true novelty for us lol. Yay for new towels! Now I want to replace all of the old towels with new ones from Costco (not that I will, but ohh wouldn't it be loverly!).

*sigh* I should finish doing dishes...there's not much left. But I'm pooped and my back's killing me. And I have to get ready for my meeting tonight. A meeting which I have to leave for in about... 20 minutes, yikes! Not sure I'm bring my knitting with me to the meeting tonight, as the chairs aren't the best at church (for me, at least). Ah well, best get hoppin'.

So they showed up at around 1.30pm-ish. Painted the doors, were loud, left stuff where it shouldn't be left (they'd borrowed the neighbours chair in order to keep my screendoor open while painting) and just generally not very nice. It is now almost 11pm, and the door is still tacky, and I've had it open almost the entire time. I only closed it for a bit while taking Dustin to work, and now it's right open again. Not sure for how long, because it is getting rediculously cold, rather quickly. Needless to say, I'm not very happy right now.

In other news, I got the pictures in from Snapfish that I ordered for Trina. I'm impressed with them! I'm sending in a roll of film, since I get one devellopped for free. Hopefully it won't get lost or anything *crosses fingers*, but I suppose there's as much risk for that this way, then there is if I do it at Bi-Mart. We'll see. Just pray it goes well, because I believe these are from our trip to Belknap (I hope!).

Been trying to do some housework while I've been up. I got most of the dishes done, which actually was nice to do, since my hands were in nice, warm water. But the cleaning of the rest of the house didn't get very far, because it's too darn cold. I'm going to keep on going though, because it does need to be done. Even if it's done slowly. At least now I can take care of the laundry, since Dustin's not sleeping anymore. Didn't want to wake him earlier lol. Since he'd given me 3 hours more sleep then he said he was going to, he was pretty tired.
Well, I don't think I have anything else to report, really. So I'd better post this before they put everything on read only ^_~

My stove is here, my stove is here! And is shiney and new and digital! And it has 2 big burners and 2 small burners and a broilingpan and 2 racks! Yay!

Ok, how sad is it that all this excites me to no end *chuckles*

My stove is here!

I wish I had the money and the space to do some of the things I wish I could do. I so want to do trash to treasure stuff. According to this quiz I took on HGTV.com I have a classic style. But I also llike making old things new again and showing them off. I am itching to do some decorating, I'd love to re-do our appartment, but we don't have the funds. Not even trash to treasure. Nor do we have the room for me to tackle such projects, or the stuff to do it with even. I mean, I'm not going to sand by hand, you know lol. Ohh, that new Dremel would be nice. *sighs whistfully* I've just got so many ideas floating around in my head, and I can't do a thing with them. It's quite annoying you know.

Speaking of HGTV. rhiannontherose, you try going on that show (yes, I know you don't have tv) Crafters Coast to Coast? You could show off how you make your wonderful leaf-jewelry, and get yourself out there at the same time. Of course, now with baby, not so good. But something to think about.

OK. I think I'll go to bed and torture myself to sleep. By that I mean I'll put HGTV on for a bit as I try to fall asleep.
