Some Alone Time & Then Sorting the Garage
Nearly everything is functional within the Windy Firs domicile, so after Gerick went off to work and Tad & Darcy left to run errands (including new I.D. for Tad after losing his wallet to the sea and Darcy's replacing his phone) I was pleased to have a day to just get things in even more order.
I contented myself with just sweeping, picking up, doing laundry and dishes, and other sundry types of chores that were harder to do when things were scattered and disorganized. It was quick and easy, and I worked on writing projects in-between to make sure I paced myself carefully.
This place is starting to really feel like its mine!
Later, I made dinner and Gerick, who has lost too much weight in the last 2 months in the chaos and over-abundance of exercise, scarfed it down hastily. Yet less than an hour later, in the dying light, he and the guys were out working yet again. Rain is coming, so Tad made it a project to mow the entire yard before it was too late. He finished up when dusk had reached its dark blue stage, but he made it! Meanwhile, Gerick and Darcy and I busied ourselves going through and unpacking and organizing the garage. I made trip after trip taking things into the house where they now belonged, and the gents put things away within the garage itself and put like with like and so forth.
Now we have room to park a car and then some in that garage! Feels great to have that done. I think the crowded and chaotic conditions were haunting my dreams or something. I dreaded going in there to sort recycling or fetch something. But now our garage is functional too- so the whole house is pretty much working at this point.
All we have left is some painting and decorating and we're set to welcome visitors without hanging our heads. Speaking of which-! Darcy's parents are flying in from New York to visit at the end of this month, and Darcy is eager to show off to them. They thought he was crazy to move to the Pacific Northwest and try to buy, build, and live in a Tiny House. In just over a year, Tad got a great job with benefits and they've got their Tiny House and a place to park it in a shared homestead type of place– yeah, he's feeling pretty satisfied with things and happy to show that following his dream was the right thing for him!
I think we'll be doing our big bash housewarming party either the second or last weekend of June. I'd rather do the last weekend so we have more time to get the outer areas prettified a bit AND to give a little more notice to everyone for it. I'm hoping to have my friends from work all get together here at least once so we can have a bit of a reunion at the same time. My old boss, Captain Nate, and the rest, have told me they'd love a chance to see each other again. And I'd love to see everyone myself. Gerick is also going to have his friends from work come to our house. As it is, I think only 2 of his co-workers saw our last place. But he works corporate and maybe it was a pride thing-? I don't know. If its that, he'll never admit it.
In any event, things are moving along at a brisk clip, and it seems we'll be hosting visitors semi-regularly all through the summer. Its going to be so busy!!
