Exhausted

Exhaustion has set in, along with the feeling of being overwhelmed by how much we still have to do over the next 2 weeks.

We did errands and painting yesterday, getting the groceries at the end of the day, then coming home and cooking dinner. Then we packed more boxes.

This morning, when we got up, I felt really sick, so I stayed home while Dave took a car load of boxes over to the house and starting back on painting.

I rested for about a half hour, had some unpleasant digestive experiences, then felt better.

I did some laundry, and packed 3 or 4 more boxes. Then I really started to feel better, so I got in the car and went over to the house.

We made another trip to Lowes, grabbed some lunch, then back to the house.

I painted for a couple of hours, until I had done all I could do (I don't do ladders, so the hallway has been my project this weekend, and it's got 2 coats on it now up to about 6 feet).

I came home, took a walk to get the mail, and am now going to rest a little. I don't need to get sick now with only 2 weeks to go, and SO very much to do.

So far, the living room, bathroom, and breakfast nook are completely finished. Dave says that by the end of today, the rest of the kitchen will be finished, too.

The hallway is about half way, since the ceiling is still the color of doom, and so is the top 2 feet of walls.

We still have to do the dining room, bedroom, and second bedroom. Not gonna happen before we move. This turned into a much bigger project for 2 aging people than we anticipated.

Having a little help for one day last weekend only actually reduced our job by about 3 hours. It was nice to have the company, but it didn't really make a dent in the work.

Sigh....
