It's the procrastination station
Good news -- we got the contract on the latest property we offered. We're still holding onto the contract at Property 1 for a little while, though, because who knows what could happen...but we've both basically already started planning how life will be in Property 2, so I'm hoping we can move swiftly and get in there in the next couple of months.
In the meantime, I have a lot of company coming through here before I move. Gail arrives on Saturday, and Tony will be here shortly after that, then perhaps Nate. So maybe I should try to tidy the place up a bit, huh? You guys, I am SO BAD at cleaning. Or keeping things clean. It's just...I suck. I don't know. It's not that I'm lazy...I mean, I certainly am when it comes to housework, but it's more like there's just a complete mental block. Doesn't help that Z is kind of the same way. Or maybe it does. He'd probably want to divorce me if he were a neat freak. But anyway, Shanon is coming over tomorrow to help me get the place more acceptable for guests, which is nice. I always move faster when I'm working with someone on chores, and plus I just love having her around so it's win-win. For me, anyway. Poor Shanon doesn't know what she's in for.
Jack started crawling a little bit, but mostly he just scoots himself in circles. Shanon was trying to make him show off when I went over there yesterday, and she was baiting him with toys and snacks, but he wouldn't budge. Finally when she started wiggling a power cord a few feet from him, he made his move. Ha! A sign of things to come? We'll have to keep a close eye on this one :)
I think we'll also hit up the Goodwill while they're here. Not that I need more stuff right before I move...but I do need more stuff! My jewelry boxes are overflowing (first world problems, right?), so I need some more accessory storage. This is part of the reason my bathroom gets so cluttered, so having more places to put that shit away will be helpful. I know Goodwill has tons of stuff like that, too, so that'll be perfect. The bathrooms in the new place have very little counter space, so I'm thinking of getting a vanity maybe for one of the spare bedrooms and just having all my accessories and whatnot in there. It's a three bedroom condo, so we have an extra room to play with in addition to master + guest, but I feel like I've already committed it to 15 other purposes. It'll be my music room! The seahorse room! The game room! My closet! Sigh...
I guess I should get back to cleaning. I want to try and deal with as much of this nonsense as I can before Shanon gets here. I really appreciate that she's going to come help, but at the same time, the guilt of asking for such an unfun favor is quite the motivation to get more done on my own so that it's not her problem.
