5 Days and Counting!
Fast Speed of Everything Can Become Truely Exhausting
There is a saying ... "Be careful what you wish for. You might actually get it." In our particular case, we definitely did! Don't get me wrong now, I am not complaining in any way, shape or form. We went from a Seller who was dragging everything out like pulling teeth, to the exact opposite....greased lightening. I just wasn't prepared for the marathon dash so soon. I needed some down time and I just couldn't get it.
I have moved alot the last few years (like every year for several yrs). I am so sick and tired of it, and there isn't much else I can think of that I hate more. The whole episode not only exhaust me, but it actually causes alot of physical pain which just makes everything that much worse. By the time we get to the fun part of playing with putting together the new place, I am usually miserable and only able to tolerate very short periods of time doing much of anything. Everything has to stop, the boxes have to wait, and I have to take several days off to recouperate. The cycle continues like this, stop and go, until hopefully things get done. I never seem to finish because it just seems to be a never ending task. That is one reason for wanting to buy our own home. We will have more control over what we can do to the environment than you do when you only rent where you live. I am very hopefully that because we own the property, we will be able to come up with ideas to modify things the way that they need to be, for them to be better for both of us. After all, isn't that what everyone does? You set your home up to accommodate you and your life style. For example I have already discussed some ideas with my husband, that I've had, about how to set up the laundry room. The point is to reduce the bending while I do the laundry which causes pain. Placing a table at waist height next to the washing machine where I can sort the clothes, and perhaps getting a rolling laundry cart might be huge improvements. Anyway, that will be one of the exciting things to look forward to later. For now...we have to struggle through the move! Ick!
Boxes are being packed. Phone company, Water company, and Electric company have been notified to cut on services on Monday the 18th. Our closing is scheduled for 2pm. I know my husband and he will have the Aerobed out and we will be sleeping on the floor till our bed gets there. Course I am looking forward to that part too. We have been talking about this for alot of years. I still can't believe we are doing it.
