Reducing our weatherization effort due to stress

Well, we decided to reduce the amount of work we are going to do this coming week.  It was giving Leila too much stress and causing her to be very ill.  That is a side effect of chronic fatigue.  I don't yet understand how this happens but stress causes dramatic changes in Leila and Emily causing them to essentially be bedridden for a few hours to a day or more. There seems to be a physiological cascade that triggers intense fatigue, strong depression, nausea, and other symptoms.  We try to keep stress down in our home for Leila and Emily. 

So, we are going to just work on the living room and kitchen as both need weatherization, Emily's bedroom, and the garage.  That leaves Kevin's bedroom and the master bedroom for later.  We have a standing offer for the use of a few spare bedrooms at a friends house and we may take them up for a few nights.  Kevin and I can do all the work on this project and probably have most of the work done over the weekend in the house.  Putting Emily's room and the garage back together will take longer.  Maybe we can finally get this mold thing licked!
