Four Nights with No Sleep

October 30, 2009 - 7:32am 268 reads 1 comments

I am going on my fourth night in a row with no sleep. I have been finally going to bed around 4am each day. The strange thing is that I don’t feel as tired as I should during the day. Time seems to be flying by! I still can’t believe that it is almost November.

I signed the papers today with JMK construction to have both of the bathrooms remodeled. I have been in negotations with contractors for the past couple of weeks. I am very satisfied with the final number and company that will be completing this job. The whole thing started when the shower door shattered months ago. We found that we would have to order a new custom glass shower peice. I figured I might as well finish the entire bathroom…it’s been something I have been wanting to do since I moved into this condo years ago. We will also be completing the master bathroom as well. Now I just need to pick out hardware, cabinets, etc. It is a little overwhelming since I am not totally sure what kind of look I want to go for. I guess this contractor works with a couple of companies that have showrooms that I can go to locally, which I think will be very helpful in helping me to make decisions.

Hi Melissa - Sorry you're not getting much sleep these days, that's not a lot of fun.
You seem to be really busy, with a lot going on and a lot on your mind. Good luck with the remodeling work, and congratulations on developing the scholarship program! It's so rewarding to be able to help others, and I'm sure the "spirited warriors" of the future are really going to value your support.
Have a Happy Halloween, and take good care.
Pat
