I first thought I would wait for another 5 days before I blog to give me sometime to relax after the moving process. I had back pain, my hips and feet hurt. Incredible pain that accompanied the lifting of boxes and house cleaning. I'm done cleaning the house we left so that we can get the security deposit and have to clean the new house we have to move in. The list goes on and on the cleaning list from appliances, cupboards, floors, blinds, windows,doors, bathrooms, light fixtures and replacements of bulbs. I first thought could just move in our furniture and household wares and appliances but really have to do the general cleaning. I'm glad my husband helped clean the light fixtures and replaced the bulbs. Places I can't reach such as the top surface of the kitchen cupboards he helped me with that clean it spotlessly clean. Go away greasy, oily surface. lol. Go away dead bugs inside the light fixture receptacles. Now the kitchen is brighter and cleaner after the clean up. I also cleaned the walls and the walls looked fair color and you can touch the wall as if its newly painted, smooth to touch. Thank goodness, the past tenant had the carpet professionally cleaned. Three bedrooms and stairs with carpet and they were shampooed! Wow! Ok that's good! In the previous house, we had one bedroom carpet cleaned, professionally including the stairs and we are shocked of how much the carpet cleaner billed us, incredible price tag of $187.00 (just for one bedroom upstairs and carpeted stairs). Only one room with carpet. The rest of the floors have laminated wood floors and ceramic tiles.
I'm not done yet with organizing my stuff in my new closet which is bigger than the previous closet space. The one closet (rectangular) space I had before is measured 96 inches (l) x 63 inches (w). I shared it with my daughter so it feels kind of small for our clothes to fit in. Some of those clothes have to be stored in the boxes and 3 pcs. of luggage. I should not keep old clothes then. Old but they are clean clothes. Had to do my laundry next. the first two days we have to order take-out food. The 3rd day have to cook homemade meals which made my family happier. Oh, they missed my cooking eh?
We moved in to a new house (up and down or two storey house) yeah again with that dreaded stairs that I don't like because I would rather live in a rancher, country-style house. Anyway, no other option. This is better than other houses in the classified ads. I know of somebody who was in search of a house for more than 2 months until he found the right one. Others who are "complicated" probably will take a year to find the perfect place for them. I'm no different from these fuzzy, choosy people.
Quality over quantity? It's only the 4th of November 2016. Think I will have to live in a frugal way. This new home is a home because we are already here and we must love the HOME that keep us together as a family.
Note: No photo yet at this point of time. Sorry.
