two weeks from today

Aug 3, 2022

The Seymour house closing is exactly two weeks from today. The new house closing is also exactly two weeks from today. Not gonna lie… I’m a nervous wreck! I’m the only one that’s feeling anxious. What would it be like to be oblivious to real life day-to-day pressure?

Dharma don't care

I’m going to do things differently this time around.

Upon moving into this house I ripped out walls, did all new floors, added gas logs, and about a billion other things. This time, I’m moving into a MUCH more primitive setting and home with all that same stuff I could do. Heck, there’s not even trim work completed in the upstairs. But you know what? I’m done with that.

I’m not an entertainer. I don’t host parties or have one single person I need to impress. This time, I’m going to do things slowly and not think I need the most expensive brands or the best products on the market. I’m done with that.

Something else I’m done with…

The yard here really needs to be mowed. I should be out there doing it right now. But you know what? I don’t care because I’m done with that. It’s supposed to be a scorcher here today with “feels like” temps around 105. I’ve spent 9 summers keeping a yard that’s fitting with my neighborhood. I’ll mow before my two-weeks is up, for sure, but not today. 🙂
