Have you noticed my countdown on the sidebar to the right? I’m counting down to our Closing Day and then I’ll probably count down until our Start of Construction Day and then I’ll probably set unrealistic deadlines for Kitchen Completed Day or Yay We Have Walls Day.
Sometimes when Jared and I are planning each project it seems like we’re so organized that it will take no time at all! But other times I worry that we’ll be in this basement forever!
I don’t mind it that much. It’s just- we’re so out of our routine. We’re not eating the same or exercising the same. I can’t cook the way I used to being in someone else’s kitchen. And I definitely am not getting my cleaning release. I barely make the bed everyday. Wow, did I just admit that? Well what’s the point? We’re in a basement! As much as my parents have done to make it feel like home, and as weird as it is to say because it was in fact my home for 25 years- it’s not our home.
We had such a rhythm in Richmond. It was almost too easy. Jared is not only a fantastic husband but he’s one of the best roommates I have ever had. He doesn’t stay up all night or sleep in too late, he puts the toilet seat down, he makes me coffee in the morning. We just… work.
And that’s not to say we don’t work here but I just feel off. Like we’ve been visiting for Christmas for the last two months.
So as the countdown drags on, I’ll try to be patient. In the meantime, I’m here… blogging. So click on the Follow button on the right sidebar or leave me a comment. And thanks to those family, friends, and strangers who already have!
