We have now been hit with the winter weather. Its been raining for about a week, and today has been the worst day yet. With the house rattling by the amount of rain there has been bucketing out of the sky. At one point i couldn't even hear the music i had in my headphones because the sound of the rain drowned it out.
The power has tripped once, and tomorrow we will try to crawl in to the loft to see if we have any leaks. The house is coming up to its 6 month checkup since it was almost 6 months since the builders stopped building. And i want to make sure that we do not miss any details or faults in any part of the house for them to sort out. Hopefully there will be no faults or leaks because i do want to think that they do their job and know what they are doing.
Since moving in i have not been volunteering, and i keep thinking i might not keep going. As far as my feelings goes i feel so bad i have not been making an effort, but at the same time my logic tells me that what i'm trying to accomplish with the house, the studies, and work at the same time would be enough to justify my postponing of my volunteering. For how long i do not know, maybe ill try to find something closer to home.
At the moment we are getting in to a new weekend where we are going to try to finish the painting of the master bedroom. That is the only room left to paint that we are going to put carpet in. After that's done, we will be able to order our carpets. I have already had a look at some window coverings that i feel quite happy about. All i have to do is to order them.
When all that is done, and we finally might even have the fridge in the kitchen, it will be all systems go to unpack boxes and decorate and make this house a real home. I have quite a few ideas that i think will look amazing if i just manage to pull them off.
Lately i have also started working on a note book about goals, and i will try to work with that a whole year. It is a hard back note book that you write in a list of priorities and based on them work out what your dream life will look like. Then it gives you a tool to improve on 5 different goals each month to break it up in to small chunks and victory steps. until ultimately you are living the dream life you imagined. Its not going to be easy, and i have set my goal for three years from now to give myself plenty of time to achieve it. I know my dream life might have changed on the way there, but its the journey there and not the goal that really counts. All we can do is to try our best and hope for the best outcome. At least there will be some direction and value to follow when i make my decisions. I will try it out to see where i can get to in a year. If its a success i will keep on track and buy me another notebook for the second year.
