Let the painting begin!
Today G and I will be cleaning walls and getting ready for the painter to work this weekend. The neighbor was over cleaning the living room walls yesterday and told me I won’t believe the difference with just that done.
When we leave, we’ll load the 1950’s dinette into the car and take it to Goodwill. All that leaves in the house is my dresser, armoire, the cedar chest, and the damned organ. I can’t even give that organ away! No one wants it. Now I’ll have to pay someone to come and take it away.
I’ve talked to my next-door neighbor’s son about coming over to the house and using his scaffolding and ladder to get into the attic for us. I hope we can quickly clear the attic of stuff. I really have no idea what is up there. I hope not much.
Calgon, take me away!
With the MIL’s house almost ready for painting, I had hoped my stress levels would drop knowing we might be able to put it on the market soon.
Then we got the county tax, city tax, and school real estate tax bills for the house. EEEEEKS!!!! I can’t believe how high they are when compared to ours. Double taxes, double utilities, double maintenance, this completely sucks. Moreover, we haven’t received the estimate for the roof repairs yet and we still have to pay for the funeral.
Excessive stress doesn’t help when it comes to writing. I find myself getting easily distracted all the time. Even reading, which for me is a passion, is difficult. All I can do is wait it out and hope for the best.
