Will they ever end?

As another day passes and my eyes and nose drive me crazy, I wonder about these allergies. Will they ever end? I would need to go back and read the past messages to see when they started, but I know it was not as long as it seems. It feels like they have been an issue for two going on three months. It has probably only been a few weeks to a month though. I am going to have to spend more time outdoors this summer in the heat to make up for lost outdor time. 🙂 I look forward to having things to do outside this year.
It does looking like I will need to force myself out this weekend to start on the fence. It is not going to get done on it's own. I should at least drill and concrete in the 16 posts. Then it will be ready for welding. I can also put in some of the t-posts on the one side. We will see what I get done. I sure hope something!

Hope and Proud

I have been thinking about the house over the last few days. It just occurred to me that these are still my plans. I had a feeling of hope. I hope this all turns out as planned. Once the house is completed and if everything goes correctly, I will be proud of myself again. It has been a long time since that has been the case, but I think I should be after this accomplishment.
If the house is complete by September 4th, our anniversary and house fire date. I will have accomplished the followkng in less than 1 year.
1 I made it through the mental part of the fire.
2 I designed and drew up my own house plans
3 I created an energy efficient and comfortable home
4 I had a builder and associated entities use these plans to build a house
5 I was a subcontractor for part of the house build
6 We moved into this energy efficient home that I designed and had built.

It occurred to me most people look for houses, pick plans for houses or have someone design and draw the plans up.
I also know that some people do what i have, but actually not that many. I think it is so dramatic for me because I have been dreaming of doing this most of my life. Only now has it been possible.

Again, I look forward to moving into the house I designed and subcontracted the building of.
