Well, we've rented a house. It's tiny and nothing to look at but we couldn't care less! It's ours and because of that we love it. And it's even closer to Lloyd's school than we were before! He thinks he's already nearly ready to go off by himself (I don't believe him!).
Moving in came with dramas -- of course! When Greg went to get our furniture he was met with quite a surprise. Lots of water on the floor and mold and fuzz growing on everything! Awful.
Thankfully, our books are in plastic bins so they're okay. Most of the furniture is going to be okay, I think. My grandfather's bureau drawers still won't open but I'm hopeful. The couches are drying out thanks to a dehumidifier and heater running nonstop. We got everything out of there so are living quite cramped but it's okay; it's so nice to see our stuff again and to spare it any further damage.
Yesterday evening, I had the nicest surprise I've had in a long time... someone knocked on the door and I opened it to find five friends I've made through Lloyd and school standing there with smiles on their faces!! Lemons off her tree from Kirsty, cashews (which I love) from Miranda, wine from Natalie and Yvette and Alex just so happy to share in the occasion. Fantastic.
Lloyd has a friend coming over after school today and another one tomorrow. He's in heaven seeing his toy box again and is sleeping soundly through the night on his bunk bed. He's set up his stars that glow in the dark and is so at home.
Still on the look-out for a house but the pressure is off and that's a very good thing!
