I got up early today and worked late! Actually, if you consider blogging to be work in any form, I’m still working. Let’s see–so far, it’s been a 14 hour workday. That’s not my record by any means. But, it’s still a long day.

Finally, Michael has realized that I could use his help on our houses! We had a long overdue goals meeting this past Wednesday night, where I complained to him about my anxiety level being pretty high with all the projects I have going on right now.

Just like I was dreading going to see House 4 after the evicted tenants vacated the place, I have been dreading telling anybody about what I found there. Why?!? Well, it’s probably the worst house I’ve ever walked through in my life. I could NOT BELIEVE it was the same house I renovated just a [...]
