Work/ School Balance

I know my posts have been taken over by my house, and soon, that will probably be over. It’s not very interesting unless you’re, well, me. It has officially been scheduled. My walk-through is tomorrow morning, and I’ll have my key. I am planning on taking over multiple boxes every day and unpacking. Saturday I’m getting my furniture and Sunday I’m hoping to get my fencing put in. It’s a lot of finagling, but I’ll manage. I’m just so excited to finally be able to walk into my house and see it, especially since my second mortgage payment is due in ten days.

Today, I loaded my car with stuff to go over and planted my bulbs for my spring flowers. Since everything green I touch tends to die until recently, I’m hoping I get at least one flower out of the 25 I planted. Fingers crossed! Tomorrow I am up early to get ready for work before doing my walk through. I hope I’m awake enough for all of that.

I decided Friday to get my Covid shot. I had been hesitant regarding it, not because I am anti-vax or anything. I get really sick from them every time I get one. Well, since I’m moving I can’t get it then and I have a friend coming in December when I’m off work so I can’t get it then. Well, I decided to go ahead and get it. I expected to feel like crap. I expected to have a high fever. I expected to be in bed. Well, I had to drive 45 minutes to get the dog’s medication for her stress of the move. With that, I ended up going shopping. With Motrin and Tylenol on board, I managed to feel absolutely fine, just a little run down. I was shocked, and amazed. My last one had me in bed for a day. So, I ended up with a new comforter and storage containers.

The school has been, well, school. I am getting better at painting. My class has been helping me a lot. I find it relaxing, but I get nervous about pulling out my paintbrush and painting. Once I start though, it’s hard to stop. I enjoy it and I find it relaxing. At least one thing in my life is relaxing.

Everything will calm down in a few weeks. I have my open house scheduled and get my key tomorrow. The next few weeks are going to be tough, and I’ll be pulled into so many directions that I won’t have any free time, but it’ll be worth it. I think part of me just wants to be into the next chapter of my life so badly that I am trying to control everything and speed everything up as much as I can. Well, the end is in sight and things will be better. I’m sure in a month when I’m in my house with just my one painting class I’ll be bored out of my mind. But, I’m looking forward to that.
