Day 110: Moving day!
It feels like the house has been under construction forever. Probably because it sort of has. We had a leak last fall. And then they found asbestos in the stuff that held the drywall sheets together. And then they found mold. And then the repair caused another leak which ruined the floors in another room. So that took well over six months to sort out. And then we figured that, since we were used to chaos, and the dog had gotten so used to the guys coming and going she hardly even barked anymore, that it was time to pull up the (frankly disgusting) carpets in our back two rooms and replace the flooring. We've only been in the house 17 years - I guess it was time.
So, this morning found me here:
Sitting in my car grading while the movers packed up our stuff from the storage place, so that they could put it back in here:
That's our room. I wish I had pictures of both rooms, which have not only been refloored but (because, if everything is out and empty, you may as well get it done) repainted. We've been out of our bedroom for two months at this point, and I am dying to sleep in my bed, and (even more excitingly) to have access to my clothes again!! Unpacking looms, but it'll be good to be done with this project.

It's going to feel wonderful getting everything back where it belongs!
Is there a word for always reading things wrong? Like if you were the sort of person who read that last sentence and wondered, Is Knitting Linguist a weaver? since you're unpacking looms. Or keeps puzzling over the headline PG&E Shares Crater -- how exactly are they sharing this crater, and where is it located?
Asking for a friend.
Also, your room looks swell -- congrats! :)
What a wonderful feeling to step back into a familiar place with familiar things and feel it all fresh again.
That sounds disruptive, but also exciting. It's nice to have a deep refresh, but so exhausting to be in the middle of it. Sounds like you're on your way to the enjoyment part, though! Nothing like a massive construction project to help you reframe your space. =)
