Well, I feel better today. Had an invigorating talk last night, then remembered that we bought this place because we thought it could make it what we want it to be and planned to redo the kitchen and bathrooms at the least. That we have to start further back and fix things we didn’t expect doesn’t make a big difference in the greater scheme of things, even though I hate it right now.
Also, I woke up with no sciatica or other back pain, which helps.
