Despite a morning of restless sleep after saying goodbye-for-now to New Guy Tuesday night, it's been a good week.

First off, in response to a question Kahless left in comments -- YES, my friend! As of today the new tenants are a done deal!! YAY! They spent the day moving in, payment has been made and all parties are happy with the deal! Woo hoo!!!

And... I've been going to bed a little bit earlier than usual for several days now. Yeah, still not until morning, but earlier in the morning. The best part? There have been no serious repercussions and it feels like this is mine to keep. It feels like the new normal. It's an improvement.

Today has been the best. I woke up feeling like I have things to look forward to instead of dreading having to face what is left of the day. Then I ran errands and went out with the hub and the littlest for tacos and then a nice drive. Then I went for a walk after we came home and I took the littlest with me. My brain threatened to short out on me for a bit there. Ever gone for a walk with a life-sized Chatty Cathy doll? Heh heh. She's a cutie, though.

Now I will do a bit of laundry and dishes and then sit down and pay the bills.
