Just as I suspected

Yesterday's lookers are still hung up on the association fee. And they can't seem to talk about it and ask about it enough. It is what it is, people. And yes, you could take that fee, add it to the mortgage payment, and for the same amount - buy a house with a yard. But, see, we did not want a house with a yard...and if you want a house with a yard, well, why are you wasting my time making me clean when I would rather be reading or scrapbooking? I'm done. Completely done with this whole thing. I'm feeling like I am doomed to commute one hour each way to work for the rest of my life. Do you have any idea how many hours of living I am giving up by sitting in the car? Of course, the days I can carpool with PJ aren't completely useless - it's a good time for us to talk and catch up on things and he's an excellent travel partner...but still. I'm over it.

OK, next topic. My face is twitching...has been for two days now. It's on the left side of my face between my cheekbone and my nose. And sometimes it is so strong I can see it in the mirror...pulsating. It's driving me nuts. I googled "face twitch" last night and was a bit overwhelmed at the possibilities. Of course, my favorite explanation went on and on about how common this is in middle aged women. WHAT? How crazy is that? So...let me get this straight...I can't sleep now that I'm over 40, and just in case that's not irritating enough, I have an alien with a ferociously beating heart living just inside my face. Sure. No problem.

Here are my thoughts:
Your face is twitching b/c you're stressed over your house, your long commute to work, and your lack of scrapbooking/reading time.
My solution?
Go to a day spa ... get your entire body massaged, including your face.
The, scrapbook for a half hour a day and read for another half hour a day.
Then, stop worrying.
Sounds simple doesn't it?
Hahahahahahahahah

I totally agree with everything Katie said, but I would add:

See a doctor if all that doesn't help.

No kidding.

Don't google it anymore because that will just scare you. Your doc may run some tests to rule out the scary stuff, but he/she will probably think it's related to your insomnia, and will do something simple to treat that, and you'll be fine.
