No one is sick at the moment. We are living in a relaxed environment. Brady has time off this week. Our family can truly breathe. Yet, I’ve come to the realization that I am still struggling to calm down. My subconscious knows how much we have coming up and going on in our life, and while I feel like I can rest, to a degree at least, my mind is constantly whirring with ideas and lists and events.
I finally bit the bullet and made a big ugly list just the other day, and we are starting to comb through it and get as much of it done as we can. I often make these big, scary lists, and we accomplish a solid 70% of it before we just peter out and it never ever gets done. This list is different. This list HAS to get finished off, and it HAS to get done very very soon. I greatly anticipate crossing each and every thing off of it!
Brady made a bunch of calls this morning and got lots of house things organized. We set up a meeting with the landlords of our rental, arranged for SaskTel to come install hookups, transfer renters insurance, etc. We spent a ton of time planning out all of the shelving in our new build as well. Brady is the master of shelving and custom closets, so we went big in our designs and will be ordering almost twice the shelving material that our floorplan usually orders. Whoops! Its ok though. I’m really excited for our new closets!!!
In the late afternoon, Kim texted me and asked me out on a date for dessert. She picked me up right after supper, and first, headed over to go look at the new house! The entire house is wrapped in vapour barrier now, minus a few little spots under the peaks and such. Siding has officially begun on the north side of the house!!!!! That particular part doesn’t seem to be going especially quickly, but I suppose if the vapour barrier is up, interior stuff can keep moving. That being said, I saw packages upon packages of insulation through the front window!! I can’t believe its all happening so fast! We’re sure thrilled.
I had a lovely date with Kim. We bought ended up with hot chocolate, and a piece of cake the size of our head, and packed up the majority of it to bring home. We made a couple of quick little stops before she drove me home, but it was really nice to just duck out for an hour or two with a friend! I can’t wait for that to happen more when we actually live in town 🙂 When I arrived home, I basically high fived Brady and he headed out to hang out with some guys from church. He really enjoyed his outing as well, but I think its nice to be together too. Funny how I miss him when we haven’t seen each other even just for the evening. I’m fairly attached to my husband, if you haven’t picked up on that. Big fan.
Time for some Brooklyn Nine-Nine and then bedtime. I’m SO tired today, but anticipating more home stuff getting done tomorrow! Eek! Life sure doesn’t slow down!
