We are almost done with the painting: just touch ups on both bathroom ceilings, touch-ups in the kitchen, and all of the laundry room. I have scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed all the rooms; tomorrow I can scrub and scrub the kitchen and laundry.
Then all that's left with the inside of the house is carting our shit over! By the end of this week, we'll be fully in our new home!
I made our first mortgage payment today. That was a chunk of change. LOL It's going to be surreal paying a bill that large every month. I didn't realize you could do this, but for my birthday, a friend went to our bank and paid like ten bucks on our mortgage; the card said she'd paid for a kitchen tile. It was a really sweet gesture.
Still on the hunt for a living room rug. What is up with all the washed out persian rugs? Like left out to bleach in the radiation-soaked apocalypse. So ugly. Thinking about Wayfair as a possibility. Anybody bought anything from there?
Fi turned five yesterday. She got a bike with training wheels. It was epic (even if it was just the four of us). LOL She has been so good this summer; she hasn't been whiny or bitchy at all about me and Josh being non-stop gone working on the house. Emma has been a saint. Not only has she kept her sister all day every day with no complaints; she looks for ways to help while we're gone. We'll get home, and she's washed and folded three loads of clothes or emptied the dishwasher or boxed up some books. I am so grateful for her.
I'm a lucky, lucky person, y'all. So much gratitude.
