Making progress

Well. I think both of our apts. are rented. The downstairs woman took over on 1/15 though her soon-to-be ex-husband is giving her a lot of trouble and I guess she has not been able to get her
furniture out. Poor thing. Her parents came up to help her from outside Philly area and they
are sleeping on an air mattress in the apt. waiting to be able to help her get her things. What a
nice family they are. I have high hopes that this will be a good experience despite the rough way it is beginning for her. I now have a couple who will be renting the upstairs(lease not signed yet but they're looking it over now). They're in their late 40's and a very nice couple. They work with my neighbor. I am glad to have more mature tenants living there now. I've had about all the drama I can manage these last few years from that place. There's a lot of risk involved with renting to young folks. I've had noise issues, relationships break up leading to broken leases, and then these last 2 hooking up and then having that "crash and burn" which caused its share of problems. They weren't that young either. I know she is 41. I don't know how old he was but in that general area, I'm sure. Just foolish, I guess. I keep thinking of Olympia Dukakis in the movie "Moonstruck" when she says
to John Mahoney(the professor who has affairs with his students) "Don't shit where you eat."
What a great line! So, on the homefront, Tim had his blood draw yesterday. We had more snow, which meant more driveway cleaning and he got all behind at work. Didn't help that his current customer did not plow their driveway when he got there(they're not living in the house yet) and his van slid off the driveway into a ditch and that took forever to get out. We got to his doctors' with no patients there and the guy who draws blood waiting for us. I swear if he said one word in complaint(he is the only one there with a bad attitude) I was gonna give him a little "what for."
Tim was exhausted and stressed out and I wasn't far behind. We were in no mood for his complaints yesterday. Tim's doc appt is next Friday so, fingers crossed.
As for me, I have finally had it with trying to run a business, our rental, and our personal business out of a drawer in an antique secretary and the kitchen counter. I went out and bought some new filing supplies and am heck-bent on trying to get my life organized because I am just making things so much worse on myself everytime I have to find paperwork and have to search forever. I have got to get a fire lit under my butt and get a handle on all this. I've been so down and find it so hard to even care about any of this while dealing with Tim's MM, but I have to get myself together. My house is so cluttered and I feel like I'm drowning in paperwork all the time. It's causing too much more stress at this point. I have to make another attempt at cleaning out my spare room and setting up an office. Wish I had a place on the main floor but I just don't. Well, I do. It's been the kitchen counter, diningroom table etc. but that is clearly NOT working out. So with all this said, time to get to today's to-do list. Tim is working both days this weekend and I want to make some progress here at home too. They're saying another big storm is to hit in a few days. GREAT. Lots of parents tired of having the kids home for snow days. I don't mind having Liv around but I feel bad if we don't do something to make her day off worth it for her and that again leaves me not accomplishing much around here. I realized after my post about polygamy that Tim is not the one that needs a wife, I DO!!!!!!!
