Quick catch-up...
Eeek... it's been over a week since I posted... so much is going on it's running me crazy and starting to feel that "all too familiar" overwhelmed feeling. Jeez...
Halloween Closing weekend at camp went really well. It was a fun evening helping out in the "Haunted Pavilion" for the camp... I sat in a room and was "forced" to watch straight porn all night (the theme of the scary-walk was "Homo Treatment Center" where they tried to de-gay people in scary ways, including cutting it out of their brains, and [in my case] forcing them to watch titties [blech!])... LOL! Barry scared people walking around the lake... Everyone had a good time. Costume party was full of a lot of amazing costumes. My costume: I wore a black witch's hat and doctor's scrubs... I was a witch doctor... get it?? LOL... no one else really got it either until I explained it... I guess I go for the more "cerebral" costumes... LOL... I hope someone emails me pictures cause I didn't have my camera.
Move Things are still kinda crazy with the move... so many plans and nothing being done... Lee has not moved his stuff out of the condo yet... I'd say about half his stuff is still there... and it's a mess... If not out soon I think the boys (Ken & Don) are going to just throw it out on the lawn... they are itching to paint and move in... I don't blame them... and I don't feel that we owe anything to Lee since he wasn't keeping up with his rent.
Condo Improvements Current plans are to build a full bathroom downstairs for K&D... which is great... and will improve the condo value... and I found out that if we include a closet in the design then it will add a "bedroom" to the unit... making the current "3-BR, 1.5 Bath" into a "4-BR, 2.5 Bath"... I think that will increase the value big-time! Now, the only problem is... actually building it... How, who, when, where, how... I'm handy with tools and all, but there's no way I'm going to attempt something like this... Barry had a great idea this morning to look into local vo-tech schools to see if students want "practice" to do it?
Trip Only moderately excited about the trip this weekend... I don't think it has hit me yet... there's so much going on that I haven't had time to get excited about it. Plus I'm nervous because we are really "winging it" for the most part... which is nice, but I've never "winged it" on a trip with Barry before... actually, this will be our first vacation together alone... we traveled with my family before, but this one is just us. We have the hotel rooms and the car... so that's the big things I guess... how we fill the days is what is unknown... I guess I'm worried that it will be "wasted" or something... like if we don't see everything or something... which is crazy, I know... but for a planning person... it's not easy to let go and just "visit whatever we find along the way". I've traveled with Amy in Ireland that way and it was amazing... so I guess I need to just keep that in mind and enjoy the trip. And remember too that it's a trip... away from the stress and frustrations of work and the move. Yay!
That's the quick recap... Work is very busy... I have a lot to do... a lot to get done before I leave for a week... I'm stressed... I need to get into work now and stop dilly-dallying around here at the house... But I needed to update my journal... it was lacking updates for so long.
