Checking things off
Finished installing the garage door opener on Sunday, hooray! It works. We cut corners a little, attached a bracket to drywall rather than putting in a 2x4, but it's holding so far and if it fails it won't be a disaster. The track could drop, but it would hit a spring above the garage door (which may or may not do anything - it sure looks like it's not attached to anything to me) rather than crashing through the open door or onto my car. It's so nice to be able to just pull into the lit garage and go into the kitchen.
I've picked out paint for most of my house. Many different colors, because that is my vision, dammit. Yellow kitchen, orange living room, green office, purple bedroom. The hallway will be yellow on the kitchen side and orange on the living room side, I think. I need to decide on the dressing room/guest room/sewing room and the bathroom. The bathroom will have a lot of pengion decor, which goes well with blue, but it also has pink tile around the tub. Which I don't think I want to match, anyway, but too much pink and blue could be icky. I'll figure something out.
Then it's just patching cracks and actually painting. After the wallpaper strippage, of course. Followed by pulling up the carpet in the living room and we'll be all set to move in. I should probably do something about scheduling movers, but i keep going back and forth on when I want to move. I can probably be ready by Nov 15, and then I'd be all moved and can clean up the rental before Thanksgiving, but I don't want to get close to the date and have to rush and know that it's an arbitrary deadline - we don't have to be out until Dec. 1.
Yesterday I went to the doctor for the first time in two years. I need to go get some bloodwork done, and a mammogram. I asked for a referral to an ADD specialist and I'm kind of confused as to what's supposed to happen next with that, but it's not urgent. I got a tetanus shot because I couldn't remember when I'd last gotten one and I am all the time poking myself or getting scratched, etc. they said I'd have a sore arm, and I don't, but I am soooooo tired today. Probably unrelated, random days of tiredness are pretty normal for me.
