roller coaster

I feel like an emotional disaster lately. One day I'm up, the next I'm down. I don't think this is normal. Then I meet someone who is more of a disaster than I am and I feel ok. My job is torturous lately -- I'm going to remedy it somehow. I will. Until then, finding balance is the goal. Eliminating stressors, adding peace, and rum to life make it more enjoyable.

My hands are swollen because Mom and I finished scraping all the popcorn off of our ceilings today. The living room and dining room have been done for weeks now, so I figured I should go ahead and finish the whole place. Hopefully they'll come retexture this week, I'll find time to paint next weekend and we can get this placce back to normal soon (whatever that is). I have so much fun fixing things up. It's addictive, and a bad hobby when one has no money. Last weekend, while I was in Colorado for Hannah's wedding, Angie and I went house shopping. Confirmed, that's my new favorite hobby. I should just do Open Houses on Saturdays. I want to be a real estate investor. I think I could buy and sell all over the country and make good money. So, I either need a backer, or to sell my place, take the equity and find a new state to start my venture! But when I'm done, I will have invested a lot of heart and soul into this place, which might make it hard to part with...

This heat calls for more rum...

My computer crashed...and school feels like a completely inappropriate place to blog, and so I can only use my sister's computer. She's dealing with a friend (who so happens to be on more of a roller coaster than I am...) and so I have some time. Why are these machines that make our lives so easy, so expensive? (rehtorical question) :)
