What you said makes so much sense to me: "We don't have to start every good idea we don't have the time to complete." I just hope I can one day help teach my H this! He is impulsive when it comes to things like that. Then throw in a little depression, which makes it hard to get motivated. It's quite the combination.
Now that my construction is done, I have the overwhelming urge to have more done to the house. The good part of that is that my H could have a part in that if he wants. The even better part is that now I have a trustworthy, talented contractor/handyman who also happens to be a family friend. He can head the jobs, and H and I can assist as necessary.
Boxer dog and I had a great weekend. I was just too short! The house is coming back together, but Boxer dog is slightly traumatized by the new dust mop purchased to keep the new hardwood floors tidy. In all fairness, though, he has a lot of fears that extend beyond dust mops.
I've had some good, friendly text contacts with H today. I'll keep going down this path for as long as it works!
