I'm trying not to look lol. I really should get to sleep...

Well.. after we sold the house my now ex and I separated and I ended up moving in with my parents for a bit. Or at least I thought it was a bit. Then the pandemic hit lol. Their house is nice though and we get along. So do our cats lol. Honestly I'm kind of glad because I don't think I'd enjoy living alone this year.

I no longer live in that house thankfully but yes, we had to do a lot of it ourselves because we couldn't afford to have someone do it... or so we thought. In the end it would have saved more time and probably more money to just hire someone that knew what they were doing. That being said I did learn a lot about sheet rock and tiling (things I'd rather not have to do again, but still... good to know)

Nearly everything in that house had to be replaced... the roof, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the floors, there was a lot of electrical weirdness going on too that we couldn't quite figure out. Basically I get a small anxiety attack any time I walk into a hardware store anymore.

Yes, make sure you do some research before you pick an inspector. It can make all the difference in the world. Don't assume the realtor has your best interest in mind either.

The house we bought had a sun room... that the previous owners never pulled a permit to build and didn't make it to code. Guess who got to fix it.

I got burned on a bad house purchase as a first time homeowner. We ended up spending so much and putting so much work into that house.

The broken image thing is supposed to clear up when you clear your cache and reload the site.

The thing about daylight savings time, cats do not care.

People still do take time off during that time, we just try not to if we can help it. Basically being gone means someone else has to pick up for you, so even if you take "time off" you're probably going to be logging in and doing a little work anyway, if only answering emails.

We do get holidays off, 2 for thanksgiving and 2 for christmas, so it's not so bad. Plus my company is really nice to it's employees. You can tell they actually care.

We have an unspoken rule that no one can take vacay during Q4. It's not real, you just get the side eyes if you do ha ha. And some people just live that way. Always stressed out all the time.

Could you crochet a pot of violets? lol

That's really cute!!!!

It's 4th quarter which is our busy season. It's not too bad this year though surprisingly. I haven't run into too many snags yet. I think this week and last week are my busiest weeks this year so if I can just survive the week I'll be in good shape lol.

Personally I find games like Harvest Moon and other similar farming sim games to be my go to when I'm feeling stressed out though. It's such a nice escape. So wholesome.

I usually play videogames, but right now I'm just busy at work so I don't have much time to worry about anything else.
