Hugs
Our house is rapidly transforming itself into a home customized for us.
Thanks to wonderful friends and close family we have a ramp extending past the front door and winding its way to the street. There's some furniture from Craigslist, and a splurge on two extremely comfy kitchen chairs from World Market make the perfect places to relax. A weekend excursion to the local Salvation Army yielded a ton of useful (or just plain cute) goodies, including a wire basket for the mail that comes through a door slot and two beautiful lamps.
The house is warm, our friends staying there to renovate and help us move have an irresistibly cuddly dog, and now there's even a beautiful new high efficiency washer and dryer set from Sears in the basement! I'm uncommonly proud of this particular addition; it was my choice after much deliberation, and it's a larger size to accept the copious amounts of laundry we always seem to have piling up around us.
Of course Mikel and I are a little chagrined that we are still wallowing in apartment hell whilst our perfect home stands like an empty oasis, waiting--but we know we've got to be out of here by the 6th. And the wait will all have been supremely worth it, when everything wraps around us comfortably at last--the warm embrace of home.
