A Timeline

I was emailing Karen yesterday and she mentioned that she was trying to do a chapter a day on her novel editing.
I realized that I’d been doing roughly that (though, more like, 2 chapters every two days), and decided that I’d set myself the same kind of timeline. It was amazing to think that within [...]

Making a house a home

I think this is the stage I am at with our place, it’s definitely a house, but even though we purchased it we’ve done nothing to make it a home.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the place and I’m looking forward to spending many years here, but I still have some boxes packed, a couple [...]

Our house

It’s official! We’re home owners, as of yesterday.
I am so relieved that all the house related stuff is pretty much done now. Within the week all the payments etc should be set up and we won’t have to think about it again!
Now we just need to start saving for the renovations and sort the kitchen [...]

Getting things done

I feel like I’m making progress on several fronts at the moment, and it’s a great feeling.
The mortgage process is finally underway. The gardens are slowly getting done. I’ve finally started working out again! TCM is coming along slowly but surely. And more than anything else, I’m finding myself for the most part blissed-out.
I’m still [...]

where does the time go?

Slipping away, so quickly…. I didn’t manage to do a lot of fresh writing yesterday, but I did go back and fill in some things I felt were missing out. Chibi highlighted for me what the issue might have been and I think she’s right. I still have to finish that before I move on [...]

I did pretty well with my February goals – the only thing that didn’t happen was the rewrite of [...]

So tired.

We had a BBQ here last night. Oh man. 7 kids, 2 teenagers, 10 adults. It was as busy as Ivy’s birthday party! But it all went smoothly which is the main thing, and the rain stopped long enough for us to cook and eat outside which was awesome – our house is not really [...]

Furniture Tetris

All night. Every single time I woke (as well as in my dreams) I was playing furniture tetris.
I know the size of our trailer. I know which items of furniture I’d like to move today – so it’s just down to deciding on the most efficient load configuration I can get. And I think I [...]

We have a date!

Or rather, a weekend. This one to be precise.
After much umming and ahhing, some talk and some mild disagreement about whether this weekend is too soon or not, we’re going for it. Yes I potentially pushed to get things done my way, but I know he wants to move as much as I do, it’s [...]

Wednesday

So today is a new day right? And I am going to approach it as such. It’s lovely outside, I had a half decent sleep, and a friend is coming to visit me today. Time to just chill out for a bit and set the stress to one side as much as I can.
Which will [...]
