I don't know why I go to extremes

So remember not so long ago I kept whining about how I can't sleep and I am on meds to counteract other meds blah blah blah? Well, In July of last year I decided I was done with the meds. I was taking them to fix a physical problem that I decided I could just deal with rather than continuing to take pills to counteract other pills.

After a few months I was feeling better (mentally and physically) than I had in a really really long time. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. Yes, I still deal with the physical issue (which I am planning on taking care of this year with surgery) and while its a real PITA and life altering I can deal with it for a while. It is so worth it not to feel like crap.

With that, my sleep has returned, with a vengeance. I don't have to take something every night to sleep and never knowing if it was going to work. Case in point - last night. I am sitting on the sofa with Mr. Cheeky watching TV. I was feeling really tired. I went to bed and was out like a light. That is such a good feeling. To fall asleep AND stay asleep AND sleep deep. I was sleeping so good I didn't want to get up to see Mr. Cheeky out this morning. He let me stay in bed. Now it could be the extra exercise I have been putting in but all I know is - Sleep...its a good thing!

Update on the ice dam - I could have one or not I don't know cause the company I called (TWICE) never called me back. I called at 8am and spoke with the owner. He said he would tell his rep to get a guy out here this morning and that they would call me before they came out. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Finally at 1pm I decided to call back because I had errands to run and wanted to make sure I was going to be here. I talked to the front desk and was given to voicemail. In the message I told them I had been waiting for 5 hours for someone to call me and I needed to go out - please call and let me know what is going on. NOTHING. Finally at 2 I called another company and have an appt for someone to come out this morning at 9:30.

Now see, when I called the first company I told the owner that I called them because they had a good reputation and he was so pleased to hear that. I want to call them back and let him know that just as good service gets good reputations, bad service can ruin that in a heartbeat. Part of me wants to call and rip him a new one, the other part says screw it, just let it go.

***UPDATED*** The repair guy is in my ceiling NOW - was here on time and I really really like him. Very nice. So I guess the other company blowing me off was a good thing cause I got the better end of the deal.

***UPDATED AGAIN*** This guy was all over my attic, roof, etc. and while we can't pinpoint the problem (unfortunately) so its a wait and see, the best part is - he didn't charge me one single penny! So if you are in the area and need a roof company - let me know - I got just the one for ya!

Cheeky - who is singing a little Billy Joel for ya.....

Call me a joker, call me a fool
Right at this moment I'm totally cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast
I don't know how long this feeling will last
Maybe it's only tonight

Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got
Maybe I'm headed over the hill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how much do you think you can take
Until the heart in you is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will

Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right every time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
Coming apart at the seams
Eager to please, ready to fight
Why do I go to extremes?

And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

No I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low
There ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

I don't know why...I don't know why...
I don't know why...I don't know why...
Out in the dark...into the light...
