open house

7/19/25

we’ve been in the middle of showing our house- it’s officially for sale- the past few weeks. Have gotten rid most stuff we don’t use to clear clutter. gotten into a routine of, before showings or open houses, cleaning and putting away the stray things, staying at Granny’s for however long the showing is, and then coming home and it getting a bit messy again, on repeat.  it’s a pain to do over and over, but also nice coming home to and living in a drastically-reduced-clutter house for once.

just kind of noticed this, like four years later: ever since Baby was born, have started texting R while we’re both at home. Just because even though we’re both home, things got so much more hectic that we can’t even be in the same room together a lot. It started with the breast-feeding and even until now, with all the stuff to do with moving and selling our vehicles and buying new ones, and the RV, all we have to do with the house, plus the baby, I’m texting him from like my room when he is just downstairs or outside. and during this, realized texting is actually more efficient than being in the same room with him and trying to talk with the baby there, because the baby likes to interrupt and get between us if we in-person talk for too long.
