Centime

And now for something completely different.

I suppose it should come as no surprise, that after few months of high stress at work, my period decided to stop. This happened about the same time last year when I was also in a high stress situation at work. Both times I have hoped that this indeed would be the end of this cycle thing I have gone through since reaching puberty. Both times I have been wrong. The stressful situation has eased and my period has once again appeared. I should have known it was back when I had the desired to eat everything in sight this last week.

In other news, I had a dream that Hugh Hefner was seriously considering making me one his girlfriends. Rather amusing when you consider I am about 20 to 25 years too old for the position (no pun intended). Not to mention my physique lacks the proportions he is so fond of. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure ole Hef and I could have a nice conversation. He is very bright intelligent man, after all. I just doubt he would ever ask me to be a girlfriend. I doubt if I would even be invited for a roll in the hay. In addition, I am not at all interested in sharing my main squeeze. In actuality, I am a rather jealous girl. But anyway, this was a dream and not reality. So, if I were to do an analysis of what this dream, I would hazard a guess that I am feeling pretty good about my looks. Although I do not consider Play Boy bunnies to be the only definition of beauty, I would still consider Hef to be an arbiter of beauty.  I am still attending the health club three times a week and I am finding that this old body is looking better. I haven't lost much weight but that is probably because I have not changed my eating habits. I need to eat less. Always a hard thing for me to do. Have I mentioned the sauna is doing great tings for my sinuses?

Damn Damn Damn

Just when I thought my two little bedrooms were shaping up nicely and that I would soon have myself a nice office and a nice guest room I find more water damage in the future guest room. I had the fans installed last week and spend most of Saturday painting the rooms. Today the wood flooring goes in and I have the area rugs already. Yesterday, I went to install the match book blinds in both rooms and was initially very pleased at how good they looked in the future office. Then I attempted to hang them in the future guest room. I discovered that wall board was too weak to hold an ancor. The cup hook screw pulled right out.

So, I guess I will talk to the contractor I have doing the front hall and car port conversion to a garage. The garage will get wall boarded and I hope that they can do the guest room repairs at the same time. The Murphy bed is being delivered on March 30th so hopefully that can all happen before then.

I am still hopeful that pulling out the carpet in the front hallway has taken care of the musty smell I have had since moving in. I had the carpet steam cleaned but the smell persisted. I am hoping the smell isn't from previously soaked and now molded wall board. Things are very dry around here so I know any mold is currently growing but It's not a good thing to have dried mold hanging around.

This process of turning my little shack here into my dream home is becoming not only long but rather expensive...
