Painting my own house sucks. It's much easier to do someone else's. I'm sure there's lots of psychology theory behind that. But anyway after 2.5 days of intermittent work, we're done with the two small bedrooms. That leaves the hallway and the master bedroom to do, which I really don't wanna. The master has vaulted ceilings and is HUGE, so I know ( Read more... )

I went to the doctor this morning because my ankle has been bothering me for no clear reason for 3 weeks now. She says no more running until it is healed, and referred me to PT, which is thankfully covered by my insurance now. Bleh. Getting old sucks ( Read more... )

It was great to have Emily here, but the visit, as always, was too short! I picked her up on Friday afternoon at the train station (after spending the morning at the DMV with Toby so he could finally get his learner's permit!) and presented her with the baby shower book I'd put together over the previous few weeks. Rather than throw her an actual ( Read more... )

Most days this week, I've been in my pj's well into the afternoon. But even though I still have bedhead at 1:30pm, I am being productive today. I've gotten a lot more cleaning and organizing done in the house, but it's such an ongoing task...I'm proud of the progress I'm making, still overwhelmed by what's left, though ( Read more... )

I'm making some serious progress cleaning my house and clearing shit out. I decided to get rid of almost all my makeup. For some reason, I have drawers full of the shit, and I wear makeup...never? I wear eyeliner occasionally but really that's it. I did keep some funky glitter eyeshadows for crazy party purposes, and I kept the eyeliner I actually ( Read more... )

I am 32 years old (and a half, as of tomorrow), and for the first time in my life, I live alone. It'll be very brief as I have an airbnb person checking in today to stay for a month, but whatever, I'm the only permanent resident of my home. It's weird. It's liberating. It's sad. It's overdue ( Read more... )

I'm missing two of my favorite board games. Because they were my favorites, they were usually on the kitchen table or near it, rather than in the stack of games I keep at the other end of the room. After searching high and low for them last night, I came to the conclusion that they must have gone out with the recycling sometime. I also keep my ( Read more... )

I am busy. I think it's good for me to be busy. It can be overwhelming and I still have lots of sadness lingering, but I am doing things that are good for me ( Read more... )

Youguysyouguysyouguys! I finished my real estate coursework! I still have a few steps before I'm licensed -- there are end-of-course exams I have to pass, and I should study a bit before I try to take those, because some of that reading is not very fresh in my mind, but I did take one of them today and passed it (for the most recent subject ( Read more... )

I think one of the main motivations for me to become a successful realtor is to have enough money to pay someone else to clean my house regularly. Because, omg ( Read more... )
