Something I didn't mention yesterday because of the more emotional issue.
Pay with bonus went in the bank. Of course, I got ripped badly on taxes. That was expected. Still, I'm at over $12k in the bank. For the moment. Before all the bills get taken out.
Not too bad, since I spent a lot yesterday and in the last few weeks for renovation supplies. Still trying to keep a base of at least $10k in the bank. Of course I would prefer more but rather banking on making a profit from the sale of the house.
Had to come to terms with something. That one reason I have been so slow at getting things done is because I am anxious about this move. No matter what I do/have done so far, this is the least planned move I have ever made. No license in AL. No place lined up to live. Most expensive move I have ever made.
Of course, I am anxious about spending money on the house. There's no guarantee I will make a profit. Meaning all the money would be basically wasted.
That's now on top of problems with my relationship with my daughter. That really, really hurts.
The normal issues with such a move. Cost, safety, crime, health.
Just have to keep going with what I can control. Work a few shifts. Keep costs down. Keep working on the house. (Like I should be doing right now instead of writing.)
Any way. Going to work on clearing more stuff out. Get the shed in better shape. It rained a lot yesterday and I need to check the shed to see how well the roof is holding up versus leaking like a sieve. Please let it be better!!! Even if it's still leaking, I have to use the shed for storage. I am placing everything in plastic storage boxes with lids, so contents will be safe.
Get the last layer of plaster on the ceiling curve. Can start painting tomorrow. Maybe today on the wall opposite the new plaster. Clear the office and start ripping out the carpet in there.
Big project is the floors. Though I decided that should wait until I am done painting walls.
Gotta get moving soon. I just have to limit my activity a bit because I run out of energy and lose weight too easily.
