I took possession of my new place on March 6. 2019. I have been trying to get it set up since. I have keys, I have parking access. Utilities and internet are hooked up. I also have an empty unit except for appliances.
I have no furniture. I lived on the frugal side for the last five years renting a room until the divorce was settled. That was done and I am officially single as of November 19, 2019. I have it in writing. Anyway furniture is being delivered shortly.
Furniture is easy enough to buy. It is the little things you need that you forget you need. Like a can opener. I bought one of those. I bought a set of dishes and put them away and discovered that there were no cups in the set. I needed a shower curtain and the rod for it and thankfully I remembered that I also needed to buy shower curtain rings. I do not have to be psychic to foresee there will be lots of quick trips to buy stuff that I missed on prior trips.
You are keeping your life interesting....
ReplyDeleteGo get a couple of your favorite pictures printed & get frames. A brb with a tree & a barn will do wonders for you every time you notice it!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun furnishing a new place! Everything new and shiny!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the local thrift stores - you might find things there on the cheap that will help get you started - and the prices are usually great!
ReplyDeleteStarting over isn't fun, but it's doable. Been there, done that. Some guys go to the devil after the trauma. I was blessed and went to the Lord and He kept me on track.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel at home soon in your new place, once you get some of your photos up it will make a difference. We have been in the same house for 50 years so I can't imagine moving, sometimes I think I would like a change,but it would be a lot of work. Thanks for your blog and all the best.
ReplyDeleteThe next chapter of your life awaits.
ReplyDeleteWhere will it take you, BW? :)
