Lately my companion and I’ve been in spring cleansing and residential upkeep mode. We’ve had some nicer climate the previous few weeks and the black flies haven’t come out but, so we’ve been doing a number of yard upkeep.
We lastly managed to mulch the flower backyard in entrance of our home, which we deliberate to do final yr however by no means acquired round to. We had the mulch and the time, however we simply couldn’t get our butts in gear! Motivation was an issue for us, particularly when it got here to accommodate tasks. So I’m fairly proud we’ve managed to get the home in such fine condition though we’ve been actually busy with life and work.
What We’ve Completed So Far
Along with mulching the backyard, we’ve used our weekends to recaulk one of many showers, exchange a damaged bathe head, reorganize the basement and attic, repaint the entrance steps, powerwash, and repair the lattice skirting across the backside of the porch. I’m drained simply writing all that out! All we had to purchase was a $50 bathe head and a few caulk—the remainder was simply sweat fairness and elbow grease.
Plus, we had an enormous hole in our kitchen counters the place they met the wall, so that they by no means sat flush. The hole was on account of a bizarre aux twine that the outdated homeowners put in. I believe they’d some type of TV there and thought hiding the twine was price ruining the counter tops. It took a complete lot of caulk, however now they appear so significantly better… you may hardly inform there was ever a problem!
We’re nonetheless hoping to repaint the first lavatory with some fairly gentle blue paint that we already must spruce it up. However I believe that’s about all that’s left on our spring tasks listing. The home has by no means been so clear with out some type of firm coming!
Studying to Drive
I don’t know if I’ve ever talked about it on right here earlier than, however I really don’t know the best way to drive. I’ve held off on studying due to my well being issues. I acquired sick as a youngster and used to battle with dizziness way more usually, to the purpose the place I’d get near fainting. My physician was superb with the thought of me driving as a result of I primarily have points whereas standing. Folks with dysautonomia aren’t normally forbidden from driving. I simply didn’t really feel comfy with it but and wished to get my signs underneath management earlier than getting behind the wheel.
I’ve made a lot progress on my well being and located so many therapies to enhance my signs that I believe I’m lastly prepared! I’ve been studying the motive force’s guide and am hoping to take the written take a look at inside a month or two. I’ll preserve you up to date on the way it goes!
Simply to be clear, we’re nonetheless planning to solely have one automotive. I don’t have to drive for my job since I do business from home, so there’s no cause to be a two-car family. I simply suppose it’s vital to drive for my very own independence and in case of emergencies. My companion is comfortable to chauffeur me round, however I’m excited to have the ability to run errands solo if I wish to.
