It's almost the new year. God what a trip it's been! I could not have imagined before now how hard everything would have been. We've had our house for 10 months and I just now put the slip cover back on the sofa. We still have boxes everywhere, and despite the train wreck appearance of the house, we've done a lot to it. I just can't get over how little i've been able to do. Even though I've had a few opportunities to do small jobs here and there, it's been hard to overcome inertia in small bits and drabs. It's like even when i have time, it takes me a week or two of sleeping and not thinking about anything to shift gears and not be "doing classes".

It's really hard! And then add SO and his demands - its gets really rough someitmes. SO really has to buckle in, may be behind schedule but is trying to make and effort to get done. But until then, this is going to continue to be rough.
