Status Report

Pragmatic not dramatic. That's my new mantra. That doesn't mean I don't wake up some mornings and want to start screaming. Tears are always a possibility but hysteria is outlawed. Never been my modus operandi.

It doesn't help right now that I am basically living in my small downstairs bedroom having initiated a major renovation of the master bedroom and bath and my study. If ample space to live in is the greatest luxury, I am definitely experiencing a loss of status. I had fantasies of coming home from Jamaica and finding those spaces magically transformed but the reality is I will be living in a construction site for a while. Yet another work in progress.
