it takes so little to make me happy
Jan. 11th, 2015 08:04 pmIt's been a pretty good weekend. Yesterday we made good progress on house stuff - chose all our kitchen and bathroom fixtures and the kitchen sink, so the only decisions we have left to make about the house are counters, bathroom vanities/cabinets, toilets, tiles, ceiling fans, siding, and paint colors. ... Okay, so that seems like kind of a lot now that I put it that way. But still: progress!
They came and disconnected the air conditioner (the condenser unit) and moved it to the back of the yard, so now the foundation guy can come dig in the back yard and start putting down the new foundation. IT HAS BEGUN AT LAST.
Today I sang one Mass with the Catholics and then we went to dim sum brunch with our usual dim sum crowd, which was awesome. Grabbed our last couple of groceries on the way home and then we popped down the street to look at the open house in the place that's been built in the few months we've been living here. (When we moved in it was a hole in the ground and now it's a great big house for sale. It had a couple of nice features but was basically meh. I'm sure it'll be fine when someone is living in there.
Called my mother, changed into my jammies, started the laundry, vacuumed the rug in the entryway, saw that the person who's been parked in front of our house for two days was leaving! (I think it was the grandparents belonging to the young family across the street. They've got a young kid and even younger twins, so it wouldn't shock me if the grandparents came to visit as many weekends as possible.) I asked Himself to move my car into the spot, since I'd already changed, and he did, so now the curb in front of our house is filled with both of our cars and his motorcycle, which is as it should be. (Someday we will have a driveway. And we'll even park in it, unlike the people next door to us. Sigh.) I ♥ him.
And then while the laundry was running and we were watching the Packers-Cowboys game, I got two hours of work done that will make my upcoming week more pleasant. I am so pleased with both this and with Himself's moving of my car, and so pleased that I am so pleased by these things and likely to remain so. Yay for things that are so relatively easy and improve my day so comprehensively!
