I miss my home. It’s been about three weeks since I’ve slept back in my own home. As gracious as my parents have been letting us stay at their tiny condo, I feel like I’m living on the edge of an argument about to happen at any time. My back is killing me sleeping on the floor too.
Our condo is so close to being finished but yet has some key elements preventing us from going back. So far no countertops on our kitchen and bathrooms means no running water beyond our showers. And new carpets are supposed to go in our bedrooms in two weeks. New shelving, drapes, and washer dryer to come up this week.
I’ve been inwardly proud how some of the design choices my wife and I have made in our home are coming together. I honestly felt we were both risking a lot trying to change what was already a decent condo before we moved in. I mean, the place already underwent a recent remodeling right before we bought it. Just some areas didn’t hold up to wear and tear. With our big plans to remodel the place again meant possibly making the place more ugly and killing what equity we has invested in the place. I honestly had my doubts. Luckily…it seems so far we’re not doing half bad.
In the end I don’t really care much about those things so long as my wife is happy. I just want a comfy couch and some “me” time playing video games.
