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.

  1. I actually really DO like your paragraph of a caption!

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...

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

That time we sold our house.

Porch, Charlotte, and I are excited to share that we are moving!  If you follow us on Facebook, you know that we put our house up for sale on Thursday.  By Saturday afternoon, we had 3 offers on the table and we accepted!  I can't even begin to express our shock, our joy, our excitement, and our nervousness about the months ahead. We put an offer on a house closer to my new job as Charlie attends the center and being closer means that Porch can drop her off on my early shift (6am-3pm) and pick her up on my late shift (9:30-6:30pm) so Charlie isn't spending all of her waking hours in child care.  We're ridiculously excited, yet cautious. The new house has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is begging for a series of updates.  There are a number of projects that await us but we're so excited to call this new place home and to make it into something that's truly ours.  A home we can grow into.  A home we can share with our family over the years and create ...
