so pretty much these first few entries will be a summary of what has gone on in my life since December 2020 to now. back to the icing on the cake that is misery.

Electrical on half the house didn’t work, paint jobs were worse than a four year old, water ran brown, the backyard wasn’t sloped, the garage was still full of junk, the heater came off the wall, doors didn’t align so they didn’t close, and so so so much more. my boyfriend, having a bit of construction background, offered to try and tie those loose ends; essentially finishing the work. well on the first or second day he was working i was helping and received a call from our realtor who was also our cousin. she starts the call off with, “so your mom was nervous to tell you so ill be the messenger.” uhoh...
