1. Painting is hard. This is a calm, understated sentence, but PAINTING IS HARD! CLEANING IS HARD. I have muscles I didn't even know I had. It is going more slowly than I wanted it to go, but the house is looking so good. I am so proud of us.
2. Previous owner finally came to pick up his shit--after we conveniently piled it up for him in the garage. I am trying not to be pissed; this is a small town, and I'm not going to be an asshole to the hot-shot real estate lawyer, but OMG, y'all. He didn't have the house cleaned (his cleaner's grandson got e-coli the day it was supposed to be cleaned), and he made us wait two weeks after closing instead of us taking possession immediately after closing, and he left all this shit in the house that we had to corral. I am so fucking mad at the amount of time we had to waste cleaning and getting his shit together; fortunately, some friends came and helped us clean and get his stuff together, but AAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH! I hope we'll have all the painting done by this weekend, and then we can move belongings next week.
Accepting any and all appeals to deities, the cosmos, and elemental persons of import. Also Thor. Maybe he'll show us and be all shirtless and have an eye patch and it's not like he'll volunteer to tape off the ceiling or anything but damn those abs could be motivating.
3. I finished the Earth's Children series. (Josh and I have started referring to ourselves as Ayla and Jonadalar; it's a problem)
( SPOILERS )
I'm not even reading dw/lj. We are at the house before 8 and working through dinner, and I just don't have time. But I love y'all, and I'm grateful for y'all, and if anything momentous is happening, let me know.
*hugs hugs*
