work slump: have you ever had one of those projects that just drains you. drains you emotionally, physically...you name it and it drains it. well, i've got one of those projects going on and i really am tired of it. people telling me how to fix problems when they don't understand the problem or making changes mid-stream that make it more complex and frustrating. it's all i work on and i can't get to the other stuff that people want me to do. there's just not enough time in the day and at this point, i don't have enough strength to go on. i'm exhausted all the time. but like my momma says "this too shall pass." i just hope that i live to see it actually pass.

sunburn: spent a great day at the racetrack yesterday with nik and bbfe. unfortunately, i was silly and forgot the sunscreen. so now, i'm lobster pink, my skin is hot and it's stinging me constantly. i've tried everything from taking a warm shower to drenching myself in aloe and lotion. only ibuprofen has been taking the edge off. i'm just hoping that i don't peel and if i do that i at least get some sort of color out of it. i'm pretty sure that i'm so bright i glow at night. strangely, as i'm sitting here, my fingers and toes are freezing.

painting: on the plus side, i'm looking forward to painting the master bedroom this weekend. i'm taking it from a dark navy color to a light blue that has just a hint of purple underneath. and i'll decorate in black and white. a white bedspread/duvet cover with a black bedskirt; black and white pillows and i'll probably make my own curtains. the rest of the organizing efforts in the house are going well too. but tonight, i just need a break from it all. no cleaning, no moving furniture....nothing. just vegging out.
