Brave or just plain stupid

Well to be honest probably a bit of both, so I signed up for another 1/2 marathon and I will be documenting my trials and tribulations on a separate blog, open to read but will still keep this one for non running stuff

I have linked it in the side margin, but incase you cant see it

I will try to document on that how my training is going, the support I am getting and how i am doing!

So far just completed day 2 and I am doing great, too soon to be a disaster!!

thanks for following (if you click follow it will email you when i update it)

still nothing

So our refurbishment continues and I have not felt well since they started, constant headaches and sore throats, it must be all from the works. It is very draining day in and day out listening to the hammering, banging, soldering and all the other types of noises,  I tried to keep Nathaniel out side but that ended up just making him exhausted and really was no good, so instead we stay home at least some of the time and are tortured while we try to do laundry, cooking  or just some down time etc etc

This I must admit has been the longest and hardest month of my life.

Even nathaniel sigh's as they turn up on the weekends.  Unable to open our windows the house smells and is stuffy and I just wish I could escape to a hotel for a week to "feel better"

Every day I wait for our notice to leave coming through the door, but as of today, I have heard nothing yet, I search through craigslists for rentals and usually they end up being a dead end.

I can do nothing but accept this miserable situation and get my mind and body dragged down and down.  The summer is approaching and I feel like a prisoner in my own home watched and looked at constantly by workmen, knowing my coming and goings, nathaniel misses going out to play and I miss the fresh air  - such a basic thing.

Lets pray for 6.30 when they finally pack up and leave, for about 1 hour I can open the blinds see sunshine and open the windows, just till dark and listen to  - mostly peace

Ouch

well, we are now 19 days into the refurbishment of my apartment and all I can say is that it is affecting nathaniel and I considerably,

Initially, I tried to keep out the house while the work is on but that is impossible it is continuous from 7.45 till 6.30pm, and nathaniel and I are exhausted from trying to fit in all the play dates, not only that but the house is covered in dust often getting in my eyes, the house smells and I am beginning to feel very unwell, I just want to book into a hotel till it is done, headaches, nausea, sore throat and painful eyes are some of the symptoms I am exhibiting and I can say through most of this I have been off the alcohol - all but the day i came back to the windows out and dust literally everywhere, I did pour myself 2 glasses.

Meanwhile I am sick of looking for rentals and I am sick of being patient and not angry, i am very angry so angry i could cry but then that would stop me cleaning up this pit that is no longer a place i want to call home, I opened the windows today to try and get some air circulating but it caused more dust into the place and was a total waste of time, I really just want to cut my headoff, then the misery would stop - this is not healthy
