We are moving in two days. Hopefully the stress of moving is the reason I can't sleep and am posting to my blog before the sun is even up. I thought it would go away after we closed on the house... but not so much. We are only moving two blocks away from where we currently rent, same development and all, and we are paid on our current house through August. This will give us some time to clean the old house once we are out without having to do everything in one day. Our landlord is great so I want to leave the house in good condition.
Since closing on Monday we've done a lot of work. Things that seem like they should be quick to do take twice as long when you're trying to do them at night. Drew, keeping me sane, has been working at his job late afternoon into the night so that he could get some painting done during the daylight. Really the only things we wanted to do before we moved in were paint the living room and Kae's bedroom. Monday night we started on both. We took down the horrible border, and then it was too dark to do anything else since there's really no lighting in the living room. Tuesday we got the trim taped off and started painting it. Wednesday the second coat was put on the trim and we painted the edges of the walls. Yesterday the second coat went up on the walls and the tape finally came down. All in all not too shabby when you're starting after work and lose all decent light after 8pm.
Behind the short wall is a spiral staircase that leads to the basement. At some point I'm sure I'll change the color of something on that side of the room so we have a little contrast, but for right now it's so much better than it was.
