2020 is here. I personally feel that any day can be a time to commit yourself to change or improvement, it's natural at this time of year to think about what you want to happen in the year ahead. I think I would settle for a calm mind that is not so obsessively worried about money, debt and property.
Today we continue to chip away at the millions of chores around this house. I'm painting some planter boxes for the deck that we got for free off a friend. We figure it will help modernise the back area while we save to fix the deck, the balustrade and gazebo.
The house is really a five year plus project at this point, we need that amount of time to get money and the physical time to do all the work. At this point it's still an adventure and I hope to keep it that way for Chad as long as I can, otherwise it's so easy to get completely overwhelmed but all there is to get it to a point when we could sell for $2m, which is what we need to clear debt and still have enough to get another nice house.
It will be fine. I love it here when I'm chilling, and entertaining and remembering growing up here. I hang onto those feelings on the days when I look at the mess and rotting wood and repairs and want to cry.
Gotta stay positive as this year will be hard with work and I need to cope better than I did in 2019.
Right, off to do phase one on Grace's cake and then a second coat of paint on my planters. They are looking awesome!!!
