C.U.CT.

It's over, it's done. It's super over and super done.
We are not townsmen anymore! We have been packing things in a truck from 9 am yesterday to 11 pm and from 6 am to 8:45 pm today.

Thanks God, our good friend, the Grizzly bear was there. (I still can come to the point I'll name people here) Without him and the help of my father nothing of this would have been possible.

This morning, I kicked myself out of bed to be able to join them and help them. With my disease, sleep is a very important issue. I have to have enough sleep.

Well the house is full of things everywhere. But as everyone's says : Step by step.

Wish me luck guys!

crying is not an option ...

Geez!
Mamma mia!
Dios Mio!
- Insert anything like that here -

I don't have the possibility of posting a pic, but if I could, I would.
The house is now submerged by boxes. Everywhere. It looks like a maze!

Level of depression : High !

I'll get by, I'll get by.
Furniture arrives in 3 days.

Better work it girl !

Tic Tic Tic Tic Goes the Clock

9 days. That's the time remaining before we totally move here. To be honest, we already live here but let say, half of the stuff we have ain't the half of the stuff we own in this house. I am trying my best to put everything in order but this isn't easy according to the fact that everything has to be done.

As for the outside emergency renovation, that has been partly done. I'll say we have done 90%.
Winter is coming by and we will have to do something so we won't freeze during the season.

Husband took 4 days off from Oct 8 to Oct 12 and also from Oct 14 to Oct 17 that will help I am sure.

But I just wanted to tell you guys that I am fine, busy, tired, but fine.

Breath in, Breath out

Losing your temper in every moving is easy. Losing your temper in a very "adventurous" moving where everything has to be done and where no confort zone is kept is totally easy.
Right now, I am in a panic mode. I see the date of the eminent arrival of all that left in our house and I am freaking out. Where would I put all this.

Being a DYI maniac, we have tons of "material" from food to craft, we have everything. Where should I put all these?

I have to keep my cool, but it's not easy.

House in mirror is closer that it appears ...

Ok, so the date is almost set. We might be in the new house on October 10th. Which is funny 'cause that will be exactly 5 years after we bought that one. I mean the one we are living in now.

3 weeks ago, or so, a couple phoned us telling us that they were looking for a house for rent 'cause they have that daycare center and they needed more space. Husband and I talked this over and we finally came to the decision that we can have both house at the same time especially if we have money from a rent.
So they came, they visited, fell in love and we signed two days ago.

Thing is ... they need the house soon ... pretty soon like Octoberish soon ... So am I freaking out? A bit.

But you guys knew already about this. I told you about.

Last Saturday husband cleaned up part of the crawlspace and put new beams in it. That makes the floors on the first floor a bit "harder" you know, no bumpy feeling.

Yesterday I did the sadness tasks ever, I decided which clothes I would keep for the year. I am clothes addicted and I can't have all those clothes now in the actual future house. We will be living in just one room of the house plus bathroom and some part kitchen. So I had to pack. Saying good bye to my lovely clothes was heartbreaking (yeah you can laugh at me now, no problem) LOL

Yesterday too I cooked some meals in advance that I froze, with all the things going on in the house that will be good not having to cook.

For the news, that's about it.

My oh My ...

Oh boy!
People, my house is rented. When should I move? October 15th! :-O
What does it mean? It means that I have to speed things, cause like you know, the house had no toilet until last Monday ... so just imagine the rest (and it also mean that I might be crying all night out of fear/joy/anguish/confusion/stress/relief) So for the next days, I will have to pack stuf, to get rid of stuff, to sell stuff and to find stuff ...

On the bright side though, things are getting clearer for some part of the house.

We bought a cast iron sink for the kitchen that cost us 40$, then we found a cupboard for 25$, a great one. I just bought two ceiling lamps for 2$ (I am the queen!) those will go in the bathroom, most likely. I found a ceiling lamp for the dining room for 20$. I found some ceramic tiles for the kitchen. But today was the best. We found an oven ... that one:

Ok I know, the image is tiny winy but the stove is huge, and old and authentic and it works!!

So that will be a blast in my "old-new kitchen" More over, husband, the lovable one, bought me a cast iron sink for the bathroom that is ......... PINK ! Like that ! And a very nice antique vanity cupboard.

So it's going well, fast, but well ... I guess ... We start the work tomorrow officially.

Wish us luck !

The stair ... case

The guy for the stairs finally came tonight. Ummmm praise all those little steps 'cause costy they are!!
Well, not pricey pricey but you know ... it can cost you.

You know that scene fron the Money Pit ? Well the staircase part might happen to us if we don't do something about it.

The totally idiotic and moronic previous owner (well not the person who sold us the house, another owner before) took away the support part of the house to put her washing machine there! Bravo ! A Nobel prize winner! So the staircase has to be redone. Well, we planned that already but you know ... Just the fact that we could have the option not to ... Anyways.

I've been packing all day. It's amazing the tons of stuff I have. I might be getting rid of many many things. But being a "DIY" addict, I need a lot of supplies and supplies are a total pain to pack !

That's about it.
Stay tuned!
