NEW house soon! I'm exhausted!
8 years ago
So...yes, sorry for really going poof. I haven't sat down in ages, it seems. I've been clearing out my current house a lot.
My new job...is...well, awesome, but also like way more hours than I thought I was going to get because of call. I'm working 6 days a week and cleaning the house on the 7th day so that we can show it to sell. And squeezing in my online classes after hours because they started not long ago (thankfully only 20 hours a week instead of the 38 hours I had originally planned). Getting home repairs done here, hunting down old records for our mortgage on the new house which should go to underwriting tomorrow. We move in two weekends from now, but I've cleared half the stuff out of this house before hand.
Long story short, Zodiak (my mate, for those who don't know), is a bit of a hoarder. I gave away a truckload of stuff and threw away almost as much. Our loan for the new house went kinda rocky because appraisers are asshats. The appraisal went well, from what I heard (haven't seen the real thing yet) but they took every day the law allowed to ignore the job. Pushed our closing ten days.
I plan to get back on track here soon (if I can get caught up on my school work *sigh*). The nice thing is that we get both houses for a couple weeks so I can keep internet once place while the other gets set up. If you are on my worklist and maybe you've changed your mind due to the change in timeline, just let me know by note, even if I already got you a sketch. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes me a couple months, to be honest.
I am looking forward to:
-Five minute commute to work
-1 minute commute to kids' school.
-7 minutes to the pool/gym/after school program
-much safer neighborhood
-climate control in every room, not just the main living space.
-no more repair projects (for a while, at least)
-my own office (currently camping in the corner of my daughter's bedroom/kids' playroom, so as you can imagine...I can't draw any adult stuff while they are awake).
-weather that is not freakin' 100+ degrees!
-getting to draw for fun, not because I have to eat :3 (not that I don't enjoy it, there is just something about that which really drains the fun out of it, y'know)
