Yes, oh yes, very zen to stand and make cat scratching posts (8 of them) while listening to my book. Or not. DD BF was over and they were LOUD OMW were they loud. Hubby could not hear the TV and would raise the volume and that was like turning up the volume of the kids. SMH I had headphones in and was a room away and I struggled to hear/understand my book while I worked. 4-5 hours of this. It was bliss when they decided to go outside and toss a football but that only lasted so long because it was really cold yesterday, 39F was the high. So I had a headache to boot.

It was a long weekend to say the least and it was only 2 days. Saturday I painted in the hall all day trimming and it is alot of trimming I still have a bit to do today and did not work on that yesterday after the long weekend.

Sunday was noise more than anything but Saturday was DS not doing his chores and then shrieking at me because I kept on him about getting them done. Once he got nasty I took video games away and well things just deteriorated from there. It was ugly and when my stress is up I swear the pain is that much more or I am simply less tolerant. But I am sure tension plays a factor too and and headache to that my headache frequency has been up. Not severe but just dull and just there.

Then last night's sleep stunk because DS was discovered still awake and out of bed at 12:30 am. He is 12 going on 3 some day.

I have a lot of painting to get done today and hoping tomorrow sees the completion of some of the side projects.

I am ready for a regular exercise routine and trying to do some walking even if it is in the house to a Leslie Sansone walk video though nice days may get me outside to walk. I just have been struggling with time and pain management and other things with the house. Next big project is going to be cleaning the shoppe once I get the house finished.

Then we are going to do some small projects in there but they are not all consuming as the house has been and will be at our leisure.

Remember...

More sanding in my day today as it started to rain on me yesterday bringing me inside at least 2 hours before I would have probably quit. Then an hour later it stopped... go figure. :P I intend to get it done today so that we can move forward on the side projects. The hall needs painted but we have decided seeing i will have to unplug the internet connection out there to do so. It should not take long to prime and paint the 3' x 12' hall but there is a lot of trimming to do 5 doors and 1 window in that small area.

Temps dropping this weekend and the ski slopes closest to us expect to open and be able to make snow for the weekend. The earliest they have been able to do so in 20 years.

Winter is coming. :O

Cold weather equals increasing pain as I have already noticed and this year is worse than last year was for how early I started feeling like this. *sighs* Buck up and deal is all I can do. And I really need to get myself focused on watching my intake and getting more output in even if it is not as much as I usually would i need the walking and I need to get the reno done so I can join the gym. At least then I would guilt myself into working out because I hate to waste money.

Wow, i am so glad that we are in the final stages of this reno... I know i have been saying that for a week or more but 90% of my house is done. I still have to paint and prime in the hall, but we started some side projects the past few days because of weather reasons and I held off on the painting when I had the kids under feet all weekend and besides we got alot of the stuff cleaned and finishing touches done over the weekend in the living area. YAY!

Pain wise I saw my Dr Monday and he put me on gabapentin which is a treatment for fibromyalgia... which is something he suspects as is my ultimate issue. Because this is not joint pain or muscle fatigue I have been complaining of it is all nerve related. So, I am digging in and doing some research too see if there are other ways to cope with this or is this just going to be life for me. The gabapentin is helping so there is something. Anything that improves my sleep as night time is the worst time for me. I know the pain has slowed me down a lot lately and cool weather always brings this issues into too bright of focus. And thus my weightloss seems to be affected. It has been fluctuating at about the same 3 lbs for 2 weeks now. Only losses I see are when I am staying under 900 cals because my activity has been much lower. Long walks leave me exhausted, almost to the point I can barely make them. So I am hoping the meds get me back into the swing of things soon because lately I have just felt awful as the pain affects mood etc....

And the medication leads to dizziness and drowsiness. So I am sleeping better but the dizziness is real not constant but if I wake at night I feel woozy for a bit before stabilizing. Not fun.

Off to get the sanding done.

Ok no net for a couple days again. TWC stinks sometimes. But we have gotten a lot of work done. We now have the radiators in though dealing with a couple minor leaks which will hopefully be remedied soon. Everything dusted, blinds and curtains hung, except the valances I need to make which means time with no kids bothering me. I still need to paint the hallway again no traffic will make that easier. But the kids are off due to the holiday.

I am cleaning the bathroom and laundry room top to bottom and hanging pictures and setting up the kids xbox and other game systems. TG I do not hook them to the internet. It will be a test this week for my son self control to not get up and play in the middle of the night. I will be monitoring this as I do not want to have to unplug and hide these cords too. He is so excited to get to play his skylanders though.... so for me it is a real concern.

Off I go.... Have a great day all.
