It’s after 11 on a summer Tuesday. Or wait, I think it’s Wednesday actually, yes. Thursday probably by the time I post this. I remember now because I had a dentist appointment on Wednesday this week and I have a date with friends on Thursday and that’s how I’m keeping tabs on the days. With things to do and people to see. Oh, summer. Even though this one feels quite different than most with our move, I still love the fact that I lose track of time. Such a luxury and I’m grateful for that.
We’re surviving over here. I’m writing this post from my phone (so 2014 of me!) because we don’t have internet yet but really THAT is the least of our worries.
But worries! When I write that I think, wait, are they worries, really? No, not really. We have rooms that are unfinished and more rooms that haven’t even been started yet but we’ll get there and when we do it will be so good. I’m just impatient, that’s all. I am that person that is usually moved in and unpacked and totally completely decorated the first night NO QUESTION. This time? Not so much. But gosh, we are healthy and able enough to move on our own and lucky enough to have somewhere gorgeous to live and so I’ve decided I need to stop stressing about the undone-ness of it all and just let it BE.
And so I’m going to do just that and I’ll be happy about it. This weekend I’m leaving the undone-ness/MESS (!) to visit home and my lake and then I’m off to NYC for a few days with my mom and my sister. TAKE THAT, MOVING! TAKE THAT, CONTROL FREAK! I’m leaving it be and we are all going to live just as well as ever!
Grabbing summer by the horns and holding on for dear life. We’re halfway through so I’ve got to start getting serious about it. August is going to be my month, I just know it.
Losing track of time is one of my absolute favorite things about summer. It’s harder to do now than it was when I was a kid, but I still love it when it happens!
ahhh.the joys of moving. we moved almost 10 months ago and there are still boxes laying around that are in need of unpacking. there are things that need to be redone and built, organizing and more organizing of stuff that I could attend to… but it’s summer and I too, would rather wait until the days are shorter to really worry about all of the above. :-)
take your time. creating a new home, really does take a long time.
We moved in November and I’m still not totally settled. For the first time, I decided I wanted to do it right and go slow, being thorough. Hard to feel crazy sometimes but today I’m feeling close. Real close. You’ll get there!
I’m sure your home will be gorgeous in due time. I have similar tendencies (especially when it comes to moving). This is a good reminder that it’s okay to take time and BE.
And I have a weird question that hopefully doesn’t come across as too stalkerish… :) I think you might be in the general area my husband and I may soon or eventually end up in. Did you rent or buy your new place, and do you have tips for either? (We might look into renting closer to our office in the short term, to save more money to hopefully buy a place in the not so distance future, which would definitely be closer to our office.) The market freaks me out right now when I think about it – one of the many reasons your reminder to BE is so good for me… anyway, happy summer!
Oh my gosh–I need to catch up! I haven’t been keeping up with my blogs ALL SUMMER. Where did y’all move to???
