You Guys.
The world is insane right now. I cannot even believe all of the crazy awful things that have happened in the past week or so that are the topics of every media outlet everywhere. All of it makes me so sad. And also really emphasizes the needs we have as a country- the need for better access to mental health care is the one thing that I keep thinking should be our first priority. My heart aches for all of the families who have lost a love one or who have in any way been affected by the tragedies that have occurred.
To switch to a few more trivial things, I have an 11 day break from work coming up and it cannot come fast enough. I LOVE my job, but things have been moving at the speed of light for the past 2 months and I am in desperate need of some R & R. It'll be nice because Mr. has the next 2.5 weeks off of school for Winter Break! Oh, the things we could do! I need to start my list so we don't forget anything.
Other than needing a work break, things have been going pretty well. Mr. and I are slowly working on interior house projects including, but not limited to replacing the toilet pumps (as we have a couple that just randomly run because the seals don't seal properly), adding curtain rods and curtains to the sliding glass door in the kitchen, taking old broken desk and home items to the dump, taking old clothing and housewares to Goodwill, picking out paint for the upstairs portion of the house, getting rid of the clutter in our garage, bringing the rest of the items from our storage garage to our actual house (so we don't have to pay for storage any longer) and figuring out how to make the attic a better space for storing seasonal items.
I cannot believe next week is Christmas. It has come SO FAST this year. We've gotten most of our holiday shopping done, just a few folks left but Mr is on the hunt today to get them wrapped up. And hopefully I'll find the time to post fun pictures before the new year.
Hope all is well and that everyone is safe!
