Progress and Set Backs

   Holy shit another week almost gone and here I sit at my computer trying to put some thought into what I am writing and it seems like someday I could write a novel and then there are times like this where just one sentence is like pulling teeth, but here I go anyways.  As much as I like remodeling I never really had to live in the spot that I was working in, such is the way when it's your house and you are doing most of the work.  Kinda disappointed that I can't finish the drywall since we don't have our electrical problem solved but I am hoping that come Monday Roy has a solution and we can throw another problem at him, to move the light switch from outside the bathroom and move it inside I can't remember why he didn't move it inside and quite honestly I didn't even care I thought it was kinda cool and quirky and gave it something unique.  Lets see if he can get it moved since it is not yet finished up then I can finish the drywall and start to do the stuff I am not very good at, not that I am good at hanging drywall just worse at doing corner bead and joint taping.  Thursday night after work I got home and had a go at doing some outside corners and let me say that I definitely lost any ability to sling the mud, not that I had that much to lose.  Overall thou I am happy how things are turning out, I am getting excited to get the plumbing started and get some tile laid.
   Not sure how the weekend will play out but I am hoping that on Saturday I can get Claudio to come with me and have a guys day out of the house, with the nice weather I would like to be outside if he isn't sick.  Now that would be cool since Serena will be home and not working another craft show thingy where she can have some time to do what ever she wants to do, although if I know Claudio he won't leave mamas side, which is getting tough to deal with and really sucks because I don't always want to be the third wheel when out and about, I love going out as a family but sometimes I would like to have the little guy all to myself and get to enjoy him and get to know him a little better. To be able to spend a few hours just the two of us is something that I really enjoy and I know that coming up in the next two weeks I won't be home a lot and so things are going to regress some as it always does when I have to travel for work, it makes coming home kinda like going to the dentist, the anxiety of what is to come, then it takes a couple days for the pain to subside or in this case a couple days for anything other than wanting to be next to mom.  Oh well at least while I am out of town working I can go and get a new tattoo, not real sure what I am going to get but I have few ideas and I am trying to narrow it down to a couple of them.  Thinking about it now I have it figured out what and where I may even post a pic of it on either Instagram or here since nobody reads this it is safe to say nobody will see it.
   An update on what I am reading Reckless My Life as a Pretender is a really good read and super interesting how things sometimes just come together and happen whether you are ready or not, I am really enjoying reading about how a band comes together and how stressful it is to be in a band, definitely not a normal way to live and to travel. I am envious of the way they get to travel and see the country whether it is Europe or America, I travel but it is different in so many ways since my free time is in the evening and my travel companion is like a bump on a log that has no interest in what is outside of the hotel room.  I am working on getting myself out there and exploring the cities I travel to even if it make me feel guilty about it when Serena is at home dealing with our little wild creature that we made.  I think the thing that I dislike most about traveling for work is the change in my diet I end up eating out for dinner every night and I know that it isn't the most healthy thing to be doing for myself considering that when I am at home I try not to drink during the week and I eat pretty healthy most of the time, I do have days where I eat like shit at home but its once in a while not almost every night, I am trying to lose my belly not get a bigger one oh well that is just one thing else to work on but like everything else in life one thing at a time.  I am hoping to get out and explore Durango while I am there since I have never been there for any length of time, lets hope for some good weather and none of this cold that seems to follow me whenever I go somewhere and want to see the town.
  Some things I would like to like to improve is pushing myself into uncomfortable situations, not anything stupid like a bank robbery, but things that make uncomfortable, not even sure what this means but maybe getting older I feel that I need to push past what I know and maybe learn something new?  Maybe finally start using Rosetta Stone and learn Italian? That would make Serena happy, but its hard to study something that is really hard for me, it  might be something I work on when I am alone because if the family is around there is too much of a distraction and I am not sure I will even learn it since I am a stone head but hey by the end of the year I might know more than how to order a coffee and a beer!!! Only time will tell.  I think I am gonna end this one here, I guess I had more to say than I thought
