Stress relief

These last few weeks I've been feeling pretty stressed and haven't really been able to sleep.  Work has been a little stressful, but short weeks are always a little extra hectic.  Don't know why that it is, it just is.  On top of everything else that has to do with the house and getting it ready for renting.  Friday when I left work my anxiety had kicked in and there was no sign of it going away.  Normally I take a hot bath and do my best to forget about.  But since we are in a severe drought, my hot bath nights are limited.   So I have find other ways to get rid of it.  Went to the movies with Roxie, Mike and Tamara to go see The Lego Movie and it did me good to laugh and spend time with the family. 

Craig came up this weekend to help me out with some of the cause of my stress.  Mike and Roxane are so awesome to help out as well.  Mike took down one of the ceiling fans that has been giving me issues and is going to see if he can get it to work properly.  Craig brought his truck up and we took out the old dishwasher and loaded it in his truck.  He also took the old BBQ and the rest of a pool liner that was sitting in my side yard.  So now I am on the hunt for a new dishwasher and am also going to be replacing the shower/tub in the master bath.  That project will be blogged when it is started.  I'm a little nervous as to what will be found once we pull it out.

The tree that Mike had cut down last year is now in stump removal stage.  Doug brought over a pick ax and a sawsall to help cut the thick roots.  I had started digging it out..well kind of.  Then Craig got a hold of the pick ax and the sawsall and now it's game on.  I figure I will work on little bits of it when I get home from work. It will be great stress relief.  And it will be less work for Mike when he comes up to remove the rest of it.  Now I just need to be able to sleep through the night.


No plumbers crack.  So proud of him.

Just need to clean it up and get it ready for the new appliance

Working on it.  This will be fun!
