Hello there my friends! It's been a little over a month since I posted last. This has been such a hard move. I still have stuff in storage units but I am determined to empty everything out and have my house completely unpacked and organized by the end of July, including the garage. I couldn't stand the death condo and never really unpacked there. I'm glad that it's gone and over with.
I am extremely happy in my new house and my friends have noticed a tremendous difference in me in that I look and act so much happier. Bella has adjusted very well. I also LOVE having my cousin around the corner from me. It's just the best.
The moving company that I used has been the worst ever and I've moved across the country a few times with a lot more stuff and have never had the tremendous amount of damage and disrespect for my belongings. I even had to purchase more space on my phone for all of the pictures. It's insane and I'm extremely disappointed, to put it mildly.
There's also construction going on around me that starts at 6:30 am, 7 days a week. I am incredibly sleep deprived. I unpack from sun up to sun down and then some. My phone is in one back pocket to take pics and a box cutter is in the other.
My local scrapbook store has enabled me to get inky every now and then, which has been a nice relief and break. I started this very cool Graphic 45 album that is pretty intense and mentally draining, so I'm slowly but surely finishing that up and will show you some pictures of that when it's done. I have a guest designer spot coming up in September that I'm pretty excited about and a few other great opportunities in the works. Getting the craft room organized is proving to be quite the chore and I'm actually going to turn that into a video class for you. My sellers are friends of mine who were gracious enough to let me get the craft room painted before escrow closed and before I moved in so I could utilize my vertical space immediately rather than have everything sit on the floor. I think I need to order some items from IKEA. Right now I have the overflow in my guest bedroom (until I'm organized and get the boxes opened and put away) and my guest bedroom furniture is still in storage. My dad had some beautiful antiques that I was happy to move in and my guest bedroom will be his old bedroom furniture. I'm having second thoughts about his Lincoln bed, since he did pass away there and his mattress and box spring will be donated to ARC. I'm having them come to the storage unit to pick them up because it's not even going in the truck to come over here.
So, with all of that being said, of course, my back got tweaked; however, that happened in Ferndale. I'm getting back on that OR table ASAP. My SI joints blew and it's been pretty painful. I really need radio-frequency ablation rather than blocks, but insurance…..RFA lasts so much longer and the blocks are 6 weeks, if I'm lucky. After living in a hotel for 3 weeks between closings, I never want to set foot in one again, but I'm actually looking forward to it just to get some sleep!
It's time for me to get unpacking again. I have absolutely no motivation being so tired, but it must be done. I hope to see you back soon for a few cards I'm looking forward to making hopefully this weekend.
Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me today. I also appreciate your emails of support too! God bless and make it a great day.
