What did you do this week (and weekend)?
As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their week. Did you accomplish any goals? Suffer a failure? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!
I moved into my first home... It's amazing how much stuff we crammed into our apartment lol.
Congratulations! That's a big milestone. I hope your new home is comfortable and in a neighborhood you like and can see yourselves in for some time to come.
How's your problem with visiting your parents going?
Good question. I've made sure to only drink and cook with bottled water, which seems to be helping some with the liquidation of my bowls, but it's 20 degrees Fahrenheit here, and a whole bunch of family is in town, so my stress levels are super elevated. My stomach isn't great, and my pain levels have been a real issue. Thankfully, I head home tomorrow, so just one more day to endure.
Also, thanks for keeping tabs on me. I really appreciate it.
Do you have one of those homeowners checklists? How has it been so far?
We had multiple meetings with our builder where they went over all the "essentials" to home-ownership, and we hired a third party inspector to find any issues before we closed. No real surprises or anything, apart from the thermostats being wired backwards (lol).
We're still setting up furniture. We got TVs mounted on the walls over the past week, got our couch delivered, and starting to organize the kitchen. I'm also looking into smart home stuff because I'm a techie and it's fun. So far so good!
