I tend to lean to the positive on my blog posts and always on Facebook. From time to time, I share things on the blog that I'm excited about that are happening in my life. As it turns out they don't always come to pass, and sometimes other things get in the way. Today's blog post lays out one such situation and another that has come to pass.
Let's just say that the Ami is NOT going to happen any time soon.
No use going into detail.
In addition to waiting to hear back from the Ami people, I discovered that the roof on the addition had caved in with all the rain. I have known for a long time that it had problems, but only used it for minimal storage and never really even opened the door. The evening that I was out looking for Lola I looked up and knew something had to be done.
I immediately got in touch with Didier by email that night and he was here the following day.
We are in process of getting it together and I'm having to decide what I want to do with this room.
I've never felt like I needed another bedroom, but a bedroom on the first floor of the house could be a really good idea these days.
Some of it for me as I get older, and also as friends and family talk about coming for more long term stays.
I'm still "reflechi-ing" so we shall see.
In the meantime, I have so much that needs to be removed and gone through.
It's had it's ups and downs.
I've made progress, but even though I could store a lot of this stuff in the utility cave, getting it all there could be a challenge.
Could there be another dumpster in my future?
I've teased that after Katrina, when I couldn't sleep, I'd get up in the middle of the night and start throwing stuff into the dumpster that was in front of the house on Columbus Street!
We shall see. I'll keep you posted.
I'm actually kind of excited that these steps are also part of the new and different of here that comes as we look at our life during these times! There is a lot of it!
Happy Thursday!
