Life is moving fast!
It’s October! I can’t believe I have been a home owner for a month now. It’s exciting, a bit overwhelming and fun! The new house is beautiful, comfortable and just so right. It’s also a lot of work and I go to bed tired almost every night. Last night, I laid on the bed and look up at the stars over the Verrazano Bridge. What an amazing view to have before falling asleep.
Closing up and moving out of the place I used to live was bittersweet. Having an absentee landlord has it’s benefits, but mostly it’s downfalls because doing work on a home you don’t own seems fruitless. I painted the place before we left because I wanted it to look fresh and hopes she finds a new tenant soon. My parents rented property and I remember many years of painting and cleaning up after tenants who left. I didn’t want to leave my elderly land lady with an apartment that needed a lot of work.
Hugs,
