Chaos

It's been one of those weeks. I was given permission (i.e. they have money in the budget) to work on a long term project on Monday that I planned on finishing up sometime in January or February. In fact, I was told before we started that we were going to do some testing on it in mid-January, so I needed to have a fair chunk chewed off by that time. Little did I know that ten minutes after getting approval to start working on it that they'd also fill me in that they'd moved the mid-Jan test up to this weekend! So, rather than having six weeks, I had six days. Needless to say, I'm been working my tail off this week. The good news is that I think I'll get it done and it'll be a little Xmas bonus in the paycheck. The bad news is that I have been miserable all week and didn't get to enjoy my birthday at all. We are heading out to a steakhouse downtown on Saturday to celebrate, so hopefully I'll be able to put this crappy week behind me and enjoy it. That's my sob story I guess!

In other news, we only have one room left to paint! Once we're done with our bedroom (this weekend if it's up to me), there will be no more painting around here for a long, long, looooong time. But, it's finally becoming our home and we're both really happy with it. I wish we could afford to do everything with it that we wanted to.
