Move In Ready {MY ASS}

Well I'm not quite certain what makes a unit "move in ready," but in my mind, it's always meant that things were nice, maintained, and you could literally just move in.  It's March 6th.  Our lease isn't until up until 12am on April 1.  So I'm a little offended that people want our unit to be "move in ready" in the sense that they want to see basically just the bones of the place.  Listen up, that's not the way we do things around here.  Alright?  We halfheartedly pack and leave the boxes in the guest bedroom because we rarely use the space.  I'll be honest, there is a bunch of crap on top of the kitchen cabinets that I should probably be packing right now to make the place more "show-able," but I've had a long day of reading and drinking coffee and napping.  Plus, Porch is the one who volunteered to do that task.  And if we're being perfectly honest?  I can't reach that high on my own.

So yeah, I'm a little annoyed that we're expected to have already packed up our shit and be ready to show the place at the drop of a dime, but I understand.  I mean, I do watch a lot of House Hunters; I know what people are looking for.  Can't they just be thankful that I dusted?  That I made my bed?!?!

Ugh.

There are little things I'm going to miss about this place, including my quote in the entry way.  Now that I think about it, I should probably take it down because it shows my personality.  I'll have to bust out the Cricut when we get into the new place and make another one or something.  Sad.  We've had this quote since we moved in together in 2009.  That's love.  Like how this caption is a paragraph and not really a 'caption' at all?  Me too.

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool.  Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks...

I suppose this kid's gonna need somewhere to sleep...

As an avid blog stalker reader, I have been following several stories of other families who have struggled with infertility and am actually just days separated from Liz & her hubby at Wishing on a Snowflak e who adopted embryos and actually had her transfer the same week I did and we both got positive results. I read her blog today and saw the amazing nursery they're putting together for their daughter and I realized something kind of important... Holy shit. This kid is going to need somewhere to sleep.   And we're already almost 14 weeks deep. I suspect it's much like the wedding.  I was never really the girl who dreamed about her wedding day in great detail.  I was too busy hoping to find the right person, the details didn't matter.  I feel like I've been so busy wishing, hoping, praying, stabbing myself with needles, etc to give this some real deep thought.  Remember when we moved in to our apartment and Porch was all like " We could raise some...
