-This is where I publicly spill my heart because no one is ever watching.
Weird things about living in my first house.
I’ll wake up every morning and make my way down the stairs, finding myself doing so as quietly as humanly imaginable; as to not disturb my non-existent room occupants.
I keep thinking at any moment someone is going to storm through my front door and say: “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? GTFO!”
It’s difficult to comprehend that all three stories are ours, and it isn’t rude to poop in the downstairs half-bath when I’m alone before work.
I finally get to purchase a fucking dinning table.
The in-law suite feels almost too large to actually be MY studio space, as it’s the same square footage yas our last apartment.
Why the fuck is my driveway the bus stop @6am?
How do apple trees work?
Why are you so desperate for my attention? Why do you assume that I am obligated to acknowledge you every. single. time. we’re both in our driveways? You live MUCH further away from me than my last neighbor.
If I make your rental house as pretty as I would like to, it’s going to make it eventually sell faster, and then I’ll be fucked.
Where tf are the fucking street lights before this neighborhood happens?
Thought: “are my upstairs neighbors dead? Wtf? I haven’t heard them all day.”
Is this dishwasher broken? I can’t even hear it running, but everything is clean.
Why tf does this house have a working sauna in the garage? I’ll probably never use this.
Wtf do you mean our power bill is only $40 I been running shit like this is my last day on earth? Oh SHIT, solar panels are FUCKING INCREDIBLE.
3,000 sqft is going to make me a CRAIGSLIST ANTIQUE GOD
EVERYONE IS OLDER AND THEY ALL LOVE HALLOWEEN.
Ya girl finally got a “real”* job!
*real according to my mother/past professors
I’M A DESIGN DIRECTOR!
I’ll be telling people how to make things look pretty, while also drawing all day! I’m fucking ecstatic!
Also I make more $ than my Software Engineer boyfriend (until he gets a raise in Feb. BUT IT’S FUN TO BE ABLE TO SAY FOR NOW). DO YOU HEAR THIS, INTERNAL SELF DOUBT? YOU CAN’T BOTHER ME RN, OKAY.
In four short months Daniel and I are going to be moving from our 850 sqft apartment to a house! I haven’t lived in an actual house that didn’t belong to someone elses family since I was 10. Even though we’re only looking for a rental until we can figure out where we really want to be long term, it’s still going to be ours for a short time. I’m so excited I may burst! This means the absolute world to me.
