so much for like a rock

it seems the stability that I was clinging to has once again been thrown to the wind.

This summer I bought a house

not just any house, a fixer upper and now I am "enjoying" the benefits of the character that age brings to a building

honestly I love it
its little and it will be very cute
it needs a lot of work
I have lived in much worse, sad but true, and at least this one is mine.

so prepare for design and reno blogs ( lucky)

I think I am writting this mostly to be a journal of the adventure

so far this summer I have been working too much to do a lot of work on it, but its a catch 22, no work no money to fix up my house.

so far I have:
fixed a broken bolt on my toilet
replaced all the innards of said toilet
learned how to plumb
planed doors to fit
installed weather stripping
painted
scrubbed
replaced a fan motor
unblocked clogged pipes
reassembled gated


not bad I have to say.

the whole thing about getting everything in place was a nightmare though. One of the worst experiences of my life. ever

Update

I have been....busy

It looks like spring might actually be here. that makes me happier than words can express. Maybe 3 months with out snow will make my little corner of northern Canada a happier place.

actually in the greater realm of my reality not much is new.
thing are new in worlds around me, but mine has stayed euphorically stable for about a year now. A stable year. one whole year with out some kind of huge change seems unreal and unheard of in my life. but here it is. lovely!
