Knock on wood I’m not jinxing anything but calling this an ideal week, but as it looks on paper, its going to be a gooder!
I’ve learned my “perfect” level of busyness is lower than many other people’s, and thats fine. I’m happy to have a commitment each day, but one feels like enough. I can do more, but as I’m sure you can imagine, our regular day to day is pretty busy on its own. Extras often feel like too much. But I’m learning that, if I can keep them to one a day, it leaves me anticipating something! They also often break up the day, which we can all appreciate, I think.
So this week, we have something up each day! Tonight, I’m out for a chunk of the evening, wearing a pretty dress for a couple of hours. Meanwhile, Brady and our electrician friend are going to put their heads down and get some work done in the basement! I’m SO happy about that! I had previously talked about wanting to set some goals and timelines for the basement, but considering that we’re counting on some connections and friends to help us with these next steps, we can’t exactly force them to come work for pizza! However, even without the push to be finished by a specific time, our people continue to come through, and we’ll likely soon be done electrical and plumbing rough-ins! We already have the insulation, so as soon as plumbing is in, we can put that in place, and I believe the next step is drywall! I admit I’m a bit nervous to stall out when it comes to that part, because drywall is going to be more expensive :/ That, and the fact that we WILL be hiring out mudding and taping, which will also be expensive. It seems like most of the next steps are going to be more costly, so they’ll happen a bit slower, and I’m nervous we’re going to lose momentum. But! We can only do what we can do! And right now, thats electrical and plumbing rough-ins! And BOTH of those are getting some time spent on them this week! YES!
The rest of the week consists of a couple of day time appointments for me, seeing some friends, and more basement work. Something good every day!
Currently, the whole house is napping. Aren’t her jammies SO cute?!?!
This girly has the right idea. I’m off to put my feet up.
