Cheers to you, Melisande, for embracing life with all it's changes, and that includes adding the puppy for sure.? It certainly seems that that kids are thriving!?
We moved into the house last Friday.? Too much stuff and I was kind of grossed out by the volume of it. ? Now that I see all the boxes, it has hit me like a ton of bricks.? Before the move I dumped six truck loads of stuff via a removal company (called Poof Be Gone!) and gave away eight huge bags of my cocktail and work clothes.? Since moving in I've dumped four more boxes with others who can use my stuff.
The wrinkle is that I only have the skeletons of my cabinets and my countertops.? The rest was to be installed Thursday and now it's pushed out until Monday. It's a mess of sheet rock and spray paint dust.? I have a fridge plugged in the living room and a small microwave and my Keurig on the sideboard.? Master bath almost finished, but need sink hardware and the shower hardware installed, we hope tomorrow.? So I'm kind of camping out here.
We were lucky,? Our son and his wife decided to buy our old house, so we haven't had to contend with dealing with showings and negotiations.? They have a cute 8 month old daughter, my first grandchild.? I have really loved the grandmother experience.? it has been a ball watching her personality unfold.
Tonight is the first night that I've felt that this new place may be home.? I miss our old house, but I'll be seeing it often. ? We had completely gutted and updated the interior, so I had it exactly as I wanted it..? Our new house is just getting a new kitchen and a spruce up here and there.? I cook all the time, so I really pushed hard for a complete re-do there.
That's about it for me.? Back to keeping up with subs and unpacking all of those boxes.? I've discovered that even though I work out, I just can't tote the heavier boxes as I used to do after the last move.
Mary.
