Long time, no talky but I’m here. Still Queer. And insert something that rhymes with the ‘here’ and ‘Queer’ so that I’ll appear as creative as I want to feel right now.
So we found our dream house. Perfect neighborhood. HUGE space. Beautiful garden and yard area. Amazing kitchen. Just the perfect blend of vintage/unique and modern plush.
We found that house, made an offer, and sat on our hands for 24 hours while we waiting to hear back from our realtor that we had been outbid. Talk about deflation. That was almost 2 months ago and we’ve seen nothing come on the market since then that has remotely interested us. Sure, we want a specific neighborhood and floor plan but fuck, we didn’t think it would take the wind so far out of our sails. But still, we look at the listings every day and keep our fingers crossed (and say a silent “thank you” that we are not moving in the middle of this 30-degree weather).
We took a lengthy trip to the Smoky Mountains and had an amazing time. Lots of decadent food, shows, walking, and lazing in the hot tub for hours. Kinda just want the doctor ordered.
Our time has turned into a flurry of working 10 hours a day and then rushing home to shove some bullshit food into our mouths before we try to force-relax before going to bed. Needless to say, we are both exhausted and I am personally feeling creatively depleted. I mean, just look at this blog – My intention was to update at minimum once a month and yeah…no.
I’ll get back to it. I just keep thinking that if we can just get our home and room to spread out that we can finally settle in and relax and do all the things we keep talking about doing.
First things first. A list. Perhaps to motivate.
- Paint the bathroom – Maybe a nice silvery gray color with white trim.
- Put new doors on the vanity and sand that entire thing within an inch of its life.
- Keep making a wall of boxes.
- Repaint the trim in the kitchen.
- Paint the railing on the front steps.
- Get Jill to come do the yard.
- Grow an extra set of arms.
- Stop eating out so often.
- Stop buying shoes to make myself feel better.
- More sleep.
- Keep hanging on tight with everything we’ve got.
That’s about it.
