It’s almost spring! I have a lot to get done between now and April 1st, which is the date my boyfriend moves out of his current place and his birthday. I can feel the weather warming up already! Time to get moving…
1. Move in with my boyfriend. I don’t know where he’s moving to—there’s a chance we could be moving into our new place, but there’s also a chance that we’ll both be stuck here! I have enough space to take him in, but I do live in a studio apartment with a 4×5 bathroom.
2. Get a loan. The appraisal happened today, so I should be moving forward and potentially done with this one pretty soon.
3. Buy an apartment in New York. We bid on a place we like. They asked for a set of bios and net worth statements for both of us. I put mine together, although I want him to take a look at mine before we send them off.
4. Declutter. Doing well. I’ve been through most of my apartment at least once. I know there’s more here to find, but short expeditions have been going well for me. I do have to go through my papers, correspondence, files and journals, but everything else is under control.
5. Knit for charity/knit through my stash. I’m on hat #12 for Seaman’s Church. I keep thinking that I’ll run out of yarn for this project, but it hasn’t happened yet. Still, I’m getting close. Number 13 may be the last hat I make, or it may end up being half-a-hat…
6. Read some of the books I own. I’ve been reading at least a little each night. I used to be a big reader, but I trailed off somewhere in grad school. It’s nice to get back to it, although I have a big pile going…
7. Rewire a lamp. I bought the parts at the hardware store the other day, but this isn’t something I want to do when there’s anything else going on.
8. Renovate my bathroom. I’ve been looking around at sinks, faucets and tile. I keep hoping I’ll run into my super so we can talk about the leak, but I haven’t seen him yet. He helped me find the contractor and plumber for my kitchen, so I’m hoping he’ll know good guys for this project too…
9. Recycle some of the plastic my city won’t take. I have a bunch of shoes sitting in there that I need to recycle. First, I have to cut out the metal grommets, but they’re all gathered up otherwise. 5 years ago
