I have been exceedingly remiss in posting.
First there was the impending news that I didn't want to talk about because I was scared of jinxing it. (And no, of course I am not superstitious!) Everytime I wanted to blog, I just kept thinking of the excitement, anticipation, and the dread that it would all fall through.
Then it actually happened, and even though I could talk about it, my spare time has been absolutely consumed by it.
I know, I know: Enough beating around the bush already! We bought a house. The sale closed on Tuesday, and until the last moment I was afraid that something would happen and we wouldn't actually get the place.
Now in the morning I get up, reach work just after 7 a.m, leave work around 5.30 p.m., go straight to the new house, and start working on cleaning up, tearing down wallpaper, filling in nail holes and dents, scrubbing ovens and floors and showers and loos and preparing walls for painting. I don't get back to the apartment until around 10 p.m. at which time I grab a shower and tumble into bed.
We have a big To-Do list before we can move in. And we plan on doing most of it ourselves. It seems that I'm going to be frantically busy for a while. But I promise I'll try to steal a few moments to post now and again :-)
Really, I'll try.
