thanks for all your responses. today is the first day that at least for right now they are ONLY outside. yeah. omg. it helps. makes me feel less under siege. plus some are getting to know wel enough to greet me by name so tha feels beter to, less like strangers everywhere. i did what i have always been doing. wake up early in plenty of time. then fall back aslep as it is just TOO early. then sudenly wake up when they're here. yep. but i stil give myself a few minutes to get up and get dressed before i let them in. they are used to this by now andjust hang in the yard or their cars til i open the door. cause GEEZ they get here so early. seven. and i mean, like six fourty five. but if i had an outside job, i would be the same way. get the worst over before the heat of the day. and hey since a lot of the rest will be outside i htink they can start at four a.m. for all i care. . a little or a lot of banging won't bother me as much as having to be awake and smile and try not to talk to myself as much as i walk around the house and getting my routine interputed and feeling flustered. this morning, i got the house back to the way i wanted it in about five minutes. there is still stuff to do, like the one side of sink of dishes, but i got some of the most troublesome things. so that tells me that i am really recovered again (though obviously will still be mainting lifelong) as it took just a few this's and thats to get things back in acceptable order. some of the books and boxes that are stacked may come back to haunt me later but will give myself a deadline of when it must all be dealt with appropriately. knowing tha i could come here and tell yall the stuff i did after i did it made it POSSIBLE to run and do the stuff quicly this a.m. so, thanks.

i kept up most of my routines today including checking the mail. one of the guys asked if i wanted anything when he went for lunch. (he knows i am without transportation right now). so that was nice. someone looking out for me. in a new place.......well.........mightiy appreciated. somethings have changed that are difficult, but MANY things have been made EASIER so that is good. one of the guys is really cool and perhaps someone i could hire on the side sometime too once the main stuff is over with. so, could be good for both sides. i would be paying far less than for a company but he would be getting probably more than his regular pay. i will bring it up to him and see if he's interested when it seems appropriate. i have managed to keep one side of sink clean and wiped out despite two meals today so that is good. i have put things back. and i'm even dressed decently. . i still need to buy a vacuum though. there is only one carpet here but its in my main living area. the guys have been good, most of htem, about picking up after there stuff. and they've brought a trailer now to take the worst away. so that is GOOD. my yard will stop looking so horrible now. which will also make me feel better. again, no one likes that, but perhaps pushes my buttons more than most. i am starting to feel proud of my house. i've never before had construction done on anyplace i've lived ever. with it starting to look and function beter, it makes me feel better. script once said to me if the bones of a hosue are good, then it's worth fixing up. that was when i had a differnet house, . this house, imho, does NOT have good bones, but the land does. it's gorgeous. so, for now, it's lipstick on a pig, but what a pretty, pretty swine she is. and what a pretty property she has to roll around in the mud all she wants.
