Normally this time of year would find me posting every few days about how I'm preparing for the holidays. This year I have a major distraction. We bought a new home and moved! We got the keys on 10/25 and have been focused since then on getting out of our rental and into the house. Plus working on appraisals seven days a week.
The house was built in 1998 and while that wasn't THAT long ago, it has been neglected. Big time neglected. We are pulling up over 1000 sq ft of carpet and laying wood floor. Every single room needs to be painted. Many of the lights are out. Big deal, you say. Well it is a big deal when you're dealing with 10 ft tall ceilings. The stove had to be replaced. (done) The pool fence needs to be put up. The plumbing in the laundry room was jacked up, causing a major flood in the laundry room and the garage. Thank goodness my youngest son is a plumber!!
Anyway, I'm not complaining. I'm explaining why I'm not writing pithy Christmas posts.
My goal is to be able to start posting regularly by 11/23. I hope.
In the meantime, I'm enjoying reading your Christmas posts!
See you in a couple of weeks...
