Husband has been out to Ridgewood every day since we closed Tuesday, buying stuff, taking measurements, bringing things to the house. Today’s trip was to check on the paint, which looks great. The bedrooms are all done. We also met with the floor guy and picked a finish for the floors which, though in good shape generally, we’re redoing because when else can we? We opted for just a sealant, so it will lighter than the honey color that is there now. We also got a trash can and other house items from Home Depot, including some stuff to fix up the apartment to go on the market.
Didi slept on the go during short-short car trips to and from Ridgewood and the city; both husband and son are napping now; Tashi is at her last day of daycare (she has been on a nap strike ALL WEEK), for which I made goodbye blueberry muffins (she had two); and we will be madly, madly packing after our final Friday playgroup this afternoon and through the weekend. Aunt Jenny came yesterday to watch him while I tried to pack in the heat. Just 2.5 days till the movers come!
