What now?

Well, we have had two people in to look at our bathroom project.  The work and the cost has gone UP.  Also the scope and the plans have changed.  What to do now--we are, for the moment, at a stand still.  We have a toilet sitting in the middle of an open space but that probably is not the answer!  The last time I looked at the checking account that was not the answer either.  Once again it is tempting to lock the place up and put a "FOR SALE" sign on the front door.  NOT REALLY.  Terry and I just have to pray and figure out what, when and how to do things so that we pay what we can afford and get an end product that we can be happy with.  Now that was easy to write but not so easy to come up with.
I had breakfast yesterday with a friend from long ago.  It was a great time of catching up.  It seems like the older a person gets the more "catching up" there is to do with friends.
We received a very welcome 1.7" of rain over the last couple of days.  The lawns were beginning to look a bit desperate.
We have now picked about 10 quarts of raspberries.  We have given a lot away but the ice cream in the freezer tells the story of many being eaten at home as well.  I even see where the squirrels like them which is somewhat of a problem.
Am I feeling any better?  Up to yesterday I had gotten into a negative pattern as I saw it.  I would work for most of the morning, take a shower and then a nap in the afternoon and go to bed by 9 or so.  Well the problem with that is going to bed at 9 meant I was awake by 4:30 or 5:00 AM.  Not what I want.  Yesterday I worked in the AM and into the PM.  Took short nap and stayed up until 10:00.  Well you could guess, I was awake at 4:30 again BUT was able to go back to sleep, I actually got several merit badges during my sleep, and finally got up at 6:10.  Now that is better.  I am thinking that this darn Lyme Disease will be a thing of the past shortly.
They are shooting a short movie on our street today.  I think it is for some fund raiser event.  Maybe I can be in the movies!  
I have one more cup of FP and that will last me through my prayer time.
