I suppose a “glass half full” type would say, well, at least I have all this time to properly move and unpack everything, that at least I have time to fix up much needed yard work. That, by driving to and spending all day at the house, it’s kind of like I was going to and spending all day at a job.

But, when it’s all said and done, it’s now been officially one month since I bought this house and yet, I’m not living in it. I don’t think I can wait any longer, for all of these dry-wallers and contractors that I’ve contacted, to fix my family room, to get back to me.

Just one short month ago I didn’t expect to be unemployed, again, and to own a house I can’t really move into yet.

I didn’t expect any of this at all.
