blahhh. today is another dreary rainy day. at least snow is accumulating on mt. hood for good skiing. i didn't sleep well last night for the first time in awhile. i was awake, lying in bed, from 4-6:30. i was worrying about the rental. the countertop people called yesterday and said, after i had been forced to pay home depot, that they were all booked up until after christmas. we wanted to have a tenant in there by then, and if someone is there while we're replacing the countertops, it means they'll be without a sink for 2 weeks and we'd have to give them $$ off the rent. who knows if we'll even have someone in there by january. this is a really bad time of year to be looking for tenants. we were glad when our present tenants wanted to stay in the house in july, when we were occupied with wedding stuff, but now having it available is a bit maddening. the landlording business is normally a quiet one, except for when the tenants leave. aarrrrggghhhhh. if i had gotten a decent night's sleep, i'd probably be in a better mood to handle all of this.
i'll turn 33 next tuesday. that might be getting me down a little, too. i honestly think one is still young when in the 30's & 40's.... it's not my actual age, but just the general thought that one gets older every year that saddens me. time passes. happy moments can't last forever. i miss all the people that are no longer here on earth.
