New Mattress?

Thanks for all the great comments on the move. It's very tricky indeed. We will have separate office spaces and one thing I am very excited about is that my office will be bigger. I'm happy to take the basement space as my office which will be much larger and Mike will take the other room upstairs as his office. This is good too because it allows some more separation during the day.

I feel that we don't use all the space in our house because Mike is hogging the dining room. The most important space to me is really my office because I spend most of my hours there. Seems like that solves that! I'm so selfish.

Next big dilemma is the new mattress. I find that the internet has created such a wealth of information that it makes decision making more difficult for me. I have way too many choices which I feel needs plenty of investigation. So, the hunt for the mattress continues. Like any product, there are mixed reviews about the tempurpedic online. The alternative is the sleep number bed but that too is getting mixed reviews. I mean, shoot, if you are going to spend $2K on a stupid mattress one would think there would be good information out there. I know we can spend less and get a mattress from $800 - $1500 that would work well but how well? GRRRR. Sleep has become such a big focus now because we don't sleep well due to 1) bad mattress 2) outside noise (which moving will help). I think our street has become busier and busier with all the development 10 blocks down.

This is a dangerously slow week for me. I'm not happy about this at all. On Saturday we went to a wedding reception of a client of mine and the only people we know there were some past clients of mine. The husband has since become a Realtor. It was good to see them but it's hard to ignore the competitive nature of our business. Talking shop with him is like walking on eggs hells. The thing that really disturbed me was the fact that he is so much more hungrier than I. The fact is that my light is beginning to fade as the year comes to a close because there is just so much energy one person has. I guess once you reach a sense of comfort the urgency lessens. Unfortunately, it is short sighted because it just creates panic again come December. I'm doing everything I know to keep motivated and keep at it but for the moment the motivation eludes me. I'm going through the motions but I'm just not there 110%. This is bad, bad, bad.
