Well, someone (and you KNOW who you are, Lynn) called me yesterday morning to tell me that I need to get some rest. She says she can't feel like I enjoy my work at Creekside anymore.
She's right. I'm sorry if I've burdened my readers with the sad fact that I'm frustrated, tired, depressed, and anxious over that project, but it's true.
Lynn is very in-tune with my feelings, though she's far away geographically, and she felt that I needed a kick in the pants to get me back on track.
That's what friends are for.
Lord, send a revival!
....or a massage therapist!
I've been tired and frustrated for some time with all the work, the dust, the fact that I've neglected my own house and yard, that I don't have as much time for my friends, that I don't have time for church, that I don't have the energy (and time) for going to flea markets and yard sales, and that I haven't recovered from the throat surgery I had in the early summer.
I'm still quite hoarse, and my throat feels like I've tried to swallow needles. I don't know if rest would help, but I haven't really tried to get enough rest to find out.
I need to.
I'm going to try to re-assess things, think some, pray a lot, rest, and take a new direction with all the work and drive. I really need to see something really big get finished, I think. That always inspired me and gives me strength.
Lynn says she'd love to come and help me for about a week, but she's too much fun to run around with, so we'd just spend more of Steve's money. He'd send her home in a desperate act of self defense. I don't know if his American Express Card could stand Lynn and me shopping for a week.
I'm going to be thinking today about all the things I need to do to get a new start and new feelings about this house project and my health issues. I'll try to blog again tonight and let everyone know what I'm thinking. Faune Gerber is about the only one who writes to me about my blog, and I love her comments. She sure has the energy for projects. She needs to bring Armin up here to help for about 6 months. That would be a great turn-around.
He's put new floors in her house, re-done the kitchen cabinets, done some landscaping, and many other projects. I think I need some of his pills.
Enough for now. I'll try to be more up-beat and get more done. Film at 11:00.
Barbara, here's your mention.
You can call me now to tell me what a bad writer I am.
