around here. loose thoughts
i feel like my head has been filled with loose thoughts all week
so many in fact i don’t even know where to start…
i guess i’ll start with the one thought that is occupying my mind the most which is the owning of a house
Will and i have been dreaming about owning a house for so long, i feel like we need to just check that off the list in order to keep on keepin’ on
there are so many things we want to do and so many ideas we have for “our” home one day that sometimes i feel like i’m going to burst at the seams!!
sure we do little things in this rental home. mostly out in the yard
this house is what it is. a rental
a good enough rental that motivated us to make the big move from our one bedroom apartment and our safe haven on the beach
but because it is a rental we don’t want to waste (that might be the wrong word choice) too much of our time and money in it
everything about renting is temporary
and temporary is wearing me out
with real estate rising in the areas we prefer to be (or near to), i don’t know if our dream of owning a home will ever happen here
and it’s frustrating. oh so frustrating and it just about drains all out of me at times
i also have lots of loose thoughts about my family
mostly my parents and how i relate to them. or not
but those thoughts are so loose i haven’t even quite grasped them well yet
it’s been a challenging week
mostly in my head
happy friday friends. have yourselves a wonderful weekend!

omg, don’t even talk to me about homebuying. It gives me way too much anxiety. If we ever head back to North America, we’ll likely end up in a city with astronomical house costs, and with the hours my husbad works, we’d have to live right down town, which EXPENSIVE. If we live in Switzerland, EVEN WORSE!!! Where we’re going to get the down payment, I”m not too sure. So I just chose to ignore, ignore, ignore. It’s a good strategy. Or something. Anyway, looks like a fun week!
