New Bed

I am feeling better today. Still tired, but better. Another week accomplished. Yay! So, Jonathan came down to Waco with me on Wednesday since he was working from home this week. His mission: to find a bed for me with a REAL mattress to sleep on. I have been sleeping on an air mattress for the last 5 weeks in Waco. I already had a bed picked out, but the trouble was finding a vehicle big enough to carry it, plus we had to find a mattress. All for a reasonable price. The bed I found was at Wal-Mart, and it is a cute little affair with 3 built-in drawers and a bookcase headboard. Assembly required. But "assembly required" means it is in a box small enough to fit in our Jeep, and my wise husband had enough foresight to think to bring the toolkit along with him. So, we bought the bed.


So, today, Jonathan - my hero - built me the bed and bought me a mattress which he had delivered to the apartment. I built the bookcase when I got home from teaching class. Here is the final product:





My room feels like a real room now instead of a temporary camping site! Thank you, Jonathan!

Tired

I'm exhausted. It's not the driving. It might be the 8:00 am class I have to teach. It's definitely worrying about moving. It's definitely worrying about getting all my work done. I am on a pretty tight tether right now, and I feel kind of close to snapping. Little things seem like insurmountable obstacles that I just can't deal with right now. I feel like I am just trying to keep my head above water and survive. Getting things done early is like a big joke to me, and I have no idea how I'm going to fit moving into this whole picture. Jonathan is packing up all the art right now, and I'm sitting here blogging because I just wrote a paper proposal, and I am too exhausted to get up and help. So then I feel guilty, too. My birthday is next week, and I am thinking of anything I have to commit to in order to celebrate it as a chore. I don't have time to celebrate my birthday! Ugh, I'm in a miserable mood.
