Hmmm.... yeah....so for over a year now, I've been having this thing with my hand/s where I wake in the night in excruciating pain. I'm talking 8-9 on a scale of 1-10. Sometimes it's my left hand, usually my right, sometimes both. Sometimes the whole hand, sometimes just a couple fingers. Sometimes it's just the hand, sometimes it includes my elbow or even up through the shoulder. It used to just happen a few times per month. Then got slightly more frequent. Now it's almost nightly and frankly, it pretty much sucks.

At first I just thought they were falling asleep, but when the pain stops, it's real quick with no "pins and needles" sensation. It only happens while I'm sleeping and it doesn't matter in what position I'm lying.

Last night was the worst yet and it was also the last straw. I see an orthopedist on the 25th. It's probably a pinched nerve in my neck. Hopefully it's also easy to fix. grrrrr

Progress was made in leaps and bounds today. The paint touch-ups are all done. Shelving is in place. Light fixtures are back where they belong. Poohbare has most of the caulking completed and has hung the towel rods, etc. on the walls. All that's left is the shower curtain rods to put in place and a tweak here and there. I'm very pleased with the results.

The tub is a 6 foot long whirlpool with 10 jets. I told the girlspawn that with great shower comes great responsibility.

**blank stare**

Uh, are you familiar with the phrase "with great power comes great responsibility"?

Yeah, that's from Spiderman.

Yes. I'm pretty sure that's where the quote originated.

Mom insists that the patio must be cleared of snow so the dogs don't have to walk through it .... ON THEIR WAY TO THE YARD! ffs I shoveled a small path to the garage and managed to strain my back badly enough that I had to call of work. But I digress.

I noticed the old shriveled caulk and decided I wasn't digging it. So it had to go. It's time to bring some new, more pliable caulk into our lives. Poohbare said just grab the caulk with pliers and pull till it breaks off. (I think he has a sadistic streak.) I chose to pry the caulk out instead of following his advice. There are some tight crevices that need caulk and I'm curious to see how Poohbare will manage that. He's a pro at manipulating caulk so I'm not worried that he'll damage anything.

Ok. Enough. I'll stop. Your turn. Carry on.

"So how much of this white shit did you get up that way HP? We got a couple of inches that, due to high winds, drifted like crazy. Glad you survived the terrifying weather. :P"- dirtycopper

OMG! Stock up on provisions! Gather your loved ones near! There's a Severe Storm Advisory!!! We're all gonna die!!!!!!!!!!!

4-8 inches of snow is predicted between this morning and Friday. Really? This warrants news alerts and a storm advisory? 4-8 inches of snow ain't nothin. I laugh at it. Har Har Har!

Bring it on, Winter. Show me whatcha got!

The girlspawn and I got started painting last night right after dinner and got the first coat done and dusted. She broke out the turntable and a bunch of my old albums (are these antiques, mom? shup, kid). We were painting while jamming to Lionel Richie, Aerosmith, Santana, and Cinderella. We made fun of glamrock bands from the 80s. We talked about a random collection of nonsensense. We got paint on the floor and ourselves and even some on the walls. There's gonna be one hell of a clean-up job to do, but I refuse to worry about that til later -- it simply wasn't worth breaking the spell.

It was a good night.

Note to self: Never bully two surly teenage boys into painting a room. You'll regret it years down the road when you repaint it yourself.

That said, between the contractors Mom hired to do the remodel back in '07 -- she paid them in full before the work was "done" and so it was never really "done" GAH! -- and the sloppy work the boys did with paint, I have lots of work cut out for me. I sent Poohbare a text asking him to look at the exhaust fan housing. Something tells me it shouldn't be put together with duct tape. I think we should probably reframe the windows since some of the framing isn't flush with the wall by about ... oh ... a half inch or more.

Yes, I confess I should have been wise to these and many other problems over the last few years, but frankly, once I saw the crap job the boys did, I threw my hands up in defeat and turned my back. Be careful what you turn your back on... it'll bite ya in the ass later.

I took great care while lifting boxes and carrying them up the stairs to not overuse my back. After two surgeries, I gotta be careful. The good news is my back feels GREAT! The bad news is pretty much every other muscle group in my body is screaming in agony. This getting old stuff sucks. Being completely out of shape doesn't seem to help either. Ack!

Every shred of the boy's stuff is out of the house -- including the gekko and the tarantula and the 125 gallon fish tank. The girlspawn is now the proud owner of a bunny named Potato. Why "Potato"? Damned if I know. We have a history of not-right names for our pets. Hence, Fluffy the Tarantula. I dunno the gekko's name... if it has one.

Anyway, now the cleaning/painting/repairing can begin at full speed. Well, maybe half- or quarter-speed... I ain't moving too quick right now.

Poohbare left early this morning to run back to his old stomping grounds and clear up some "financial matters." Suuuuuuuure he was. I think he was just avoiding the kids' move. lol

I got the truck this afternoon and my son had several burly friends come over and help load it. After finishing here, it was off to the g/f's parents' house to get her stuff, the on to the apartment to unload it all. Good God I'm feeling my age!

I'd thought to tackle the early stages of cleaning in there but no, not tonight. I'm too tired and sore. I think I've earned a beer and a break....and a fistful of ibuprofen.
