Okay, so...the carpet pad is ripped out.

Sections of drywall need replaced.

The living room will have to be repainted.

The baseboards will have to be redone.

And that's just the house.

It has caused me so much stress that I not only got cold sores today, but spent half the day in the bathroom throwing up thanks to a migraine.  They rarely (Read: 3 times a year) hit that stage on me.   I rotated hot bath and cold cloths, trying to nap and taking excedrin, but little was helping.  Now it's clearing up, thank goodness, I don't know that I could have handled another day like that.

I don't think of myself as a weak person.  But when stress gets me down, it really gets me down.
