I’m not fainting yet, I’m still painting

When the window replacement crew showed up, I cringed to myself.  Embarrassed about the state of the house in disarray.  Not like I did when the home inspector came and said to me, "Have you done any updates since building in 1990?"

My blog's hosting site, as well as my purchased theme, all require renewing within a week-long span of time.  Navigating that is always stressful for me.
