Life is on the up-and-up!
As if it wasn’t already…
Yesterday: I hit the halfway point with refinishing my cabinets. I am therefore halfway done with never having to use oil-based primer again.
Last night: I slept in a real bed. In my own house!
Today: Is Friday.
Tonight: I finally get my vegan grilled cheese-and-tomato sandwich from The Grilled Cheeserie (a local food truck that is never local-to-me). It’ll be at a local artist/Farmer’s Market gathering–which I’m also excited about. Fresh local veggies! I just used the word “local” four times. Five if you count that one. Aren’t I trendy?
Tomorrow morning: I get to work. Wait–looking for to working on a weekend? Correction: I get to work overtime. Getting time-and-a-half when you’ve just purchased a house? Beautiful.
Tomorrow afternoon: I get a few more random pieces of furniture and the beginnings of my own garden. And I get to see my parents–when they show up with a truck full of home stuff and a tiller.
Sunday: Game of Thrones, s2e2. I don’t know if my viewing partner has Easter plans, but I’m showing up at his house regardless of whether he’s there or not. And with that last sentence I just referred to my week-ago-rental-residence as being someone else’s house! After 1.5 years, it’s not my home any more…
What does your future hold?


Aww, I’m going to a food truck bazaar tonight and your vegan grilled cheese food truck find has me so excited for what I might get to try myself!!!
sounds like you’ve got some good things happening right now
My future holds a weekend of family and celebrating. Plus I get to watch a few of my jr high kids get baptized this sunday!
What an awesome future!
Such fabulous things happening! Glad to hear you got your bed in your house too
Have a fabulous weekend!
I’m hoping better money management and a larger savings account!
It’s going to be so crazy to go back to your old place and see what’s changed already.
Sounds like an awesome future! I have no idea what my future holds, but for now I’m okay with that
It’s awesome that you’re still friends with your old roommates. I tried rooming with friends several times and ruined all of those relationships. Apparently I am not an easy person to live with.
A grilled cheeserie? Er take me with you, please? Glad to see u have loads to look fwd to this weekend! How was the first night in your NEW bed? Sounds like such an exciting time for you,Allie
This is all so exciting, I am kind of jealous of your new and exciting life! Hooray for your own bed, that’s got to feel good
And the vegan grilled cheese-and-tomato sandwich is sounding pretty good to me too! I love that you’re getting together furniture and even a garden, I want photos of the lot please!
You are just too excited, aren’t you, Allie!?! Excellent!
I’m so glad things are working out!
Glad to hear things are going well. How wonderful and exciting to be in your own home. I hope you have a lovely Easter with your family.
Yay for sleeping in a real bed!
Haha time and a half came at a good time!
I hope you’re enjoying getting settled in the house!
Awesome that life is on the up and up! I am jealous of your time and a half, being currently unemployed haha… but then I don’t have a house to pay for!
I want a vegan grilled cheese truck! Rather, I want to live somewhere where this exists. I think I need to move to Nashville.
I think you do, too! Nashville is pretty fabulous–I mean, it’s no NYC, but then…you get to spend a fraction of the living costs and can regularly see trees and large lawns…
Ha – I know that feeling. On a run Saturday I discovered that I live really close to a big park with an actual mini forest. I was delighted to be able to see nature again!
