The Work In Progress...

For reasons I will never really understand, there has been constant traffic from people checking this blog. Really, my life is not exciting but here is an update...
I am and have been back in Nebraska since finishing my class hours of massage school. I am staying in this area as it is what is best for my kids.
Being gone for 5 weeks took it's toll. I returned home to an apparent mouse infestation, gross. Being back with my babies has been amazing! I so missed those hugs and the running to and fro.
Our little rental is just too small for us and comes with some issues. I feel it's best we move. I searched for weeks,and finally this past week was told about an empty farmhouse. The outside is great and it's more room. The inside however needs some elbow grease.
I have also taken an internship at Avani, a spa in Hastings. When I am not at the spa or watching a sporting event etc., I am at the new house which I have taken to referring to as, "The Work In Progress."  I go straight from work to the house because I know if I come home and sit down, I won't go work on it.
It is exhausting and I am doing most of the work on my own. There are two rooms with about 5 layers of wallpaper. Some of which has been on those walls close to 100 years. I'm pretty sure it's petrified!  Feel free to donate to my cause. 😂 Better yet, if you love the challenge of stripping old wallpaper off walls who am I to tell you no!
Just kidding, I may be somewhat delirious from all the work. Except for the wallpaper thing, who am I kidding it's not fun!
At the end of the day I come home get in the shower and wash off the multiply layers of wallpaper dust off my skin. Then I stand under the stream of hot water until it runs cold. I can't take a bath as I fear I won't be able to get back out. It's not a house renovation without blood, sweat and tears (all of which where shed by day two. I pulled a muscle in my back which has me moving like a 90 year old woman and my hands looks like I've been in a fist fight. 😂  I know it will be worth it in the end. I will try to post some pictures and videos of the house. Enjoy!
