Have I mentioned I'm going to the Grand Canyon next week? It was a gift from my Dad for graduating college, however, he died 3 weeks before we were supposed to go. My sisters and I decided to go this spring instead. I'm actually not really looking forward to it. I need some time off, but not the time off where I'm doing stuff. I want a week, a month, maybe a year, where all I have to do is decide if I'm going to get out of bed or not.
Anyway, I've mentioned that we are house hunting. We've put offers in for 2 houses, and have lost both. Problem is, we want a bigger house, but our price limit does not give us many options, and even if we put in an offer for our highest amount, someone else can go higher. I've been kicking around the idea of moving Damian and Asher into the garage. It requires some cleaning and moving things around. It will also require buying a few things (like a mat and some rugs for the floor and nice heaters and fans/coolers), but it is looking more and more like that is what we will have to do.
I don't have anything to say. I wanted to write something so that I'm not only writing the accountability posts, but I've got nothing to say today.
I was at my dad's house last weekend. On Saturday we decided who gets what in the house. It was a mentally draining day. One that I'm not eager to repeat, but know that it will continue to happen, and likely it's only going to get worse.

Hopefully the act of getting mementos from your father's house was full of good memories, even if it was exhausting!
ReplyDeleteI hear you about the house hunting. We are in the same boat. On a budget...not seeing good things...being out bid in our offers. BUT we are also bursting at the seams here in this apartment and there isn't anyway to expand. SO not sure what we are going to do if we don't find a house!
House hunting is very draining. I had no idea when we were in the process years ago just how much time it takes. It took us almost a year to find a house, much longer than I expected.
ReplyDeleteBeen feeling mentally drained myself. As for accountability I had a 0.8 gain. Not happy about it and am working harder this week to see a significant loss. It is hard dealing with your fathers death. Mine will be gone 11 years this month. I still am bothered by it.
