Looking back and looking forward

I have to do this every now and then. This is one of those times. As I read back over my posts, I can see why I'm exhausted. The events of the last few months have drained me of every ounce of physical and emotional strength that I have (well, ALMOST every ounce). Now the tides are starting to turn. It's like the feeling of riding a wave and knowing that it's almost crested, and when it does you'll start to move forward faster.

My wave is cresting - my house is nearing completion, meaning that we've crossed off almost everything on our to-do list. It will always be a work in progress, as every home is and should be, but we needed to do lots of things to bring it up to our standards and make it home, and those things are almost done. The other thing is that we've actually started sleeping there - I can't say we're moved in yet, because we still have a ton of stuff at the old house - but we're in, and it's starting to feel like home.

NOW, I need to focus on getting back on track, with food and exercise, getting my head on straight, and getting organized. I feel like a marshmallow peep in a microwave - time to cut the power and regain some control.

The temps are rising this week, and sun and warm weather always make me feel better. So as of today my wave is cresting. :)
