Why I Have a Lot to Look Forward To - A Non-Comprehenisve List of Gratitude

Sunday, May 24, 2015
Yesterday's blog post was depressing. Like the weather, only with more swear words.

So today I shall try to "look on the bright side," since it appears to be missing outside my window.

1. The Big Yellow House is closing on Friday. Our resolution list had only three items on it, all of which were reasonable and manageable (Radon mitigation, tree trimming, and lawn maintenance prior to close). We went from listing to contract in 30 hours, and closing is happening less than a month after we accepted an offer. There's a lot to be grateful for in those turn of events.

2. For the most part, our experiences with the people who have done work both here and at the Big Yellow House has been exemplary. No "Adventures in Customer Service" - just people showing up on time, doing what they promised, and charging what they quoted. Word.

3. The Mechanicky Gal is coming for a weekend visit on Friday. THE MECHANICKY GAL. There's only a few other things in this world that make me happier than a visit with my Sister-from-another-Mister.

4. The Big Brown House is coming together. We still have quite a bit of furniture to buy, and there's a lot of blank walls, but we're making progress.

Go, us.

I was sorry to not be able to spend time with you this weekend. Now, knowing that I can see you guys AND MG, maybe I can come down next weekend?
