Spent the first entire weekend in the house. Do you have any idea how much is left to be done? This weekend I attempted to do the kitchen. Didn’t make it. I also battled with the lawn. Some progress. Our neighbour is an elderly woman. I think she’s significantly elderly. While I was working out in the lawn today her daughter came by to say hello. Her daughter looked into her 60s which means the mother’s atleast in her 70s if not 80s. I haven’t seen my new neighbour. I think I should offer to take care of her lawn though. I’d really like to. What’s the etiquette in meeting neighbours? Do I need to bake something and walk over? I don’t have time to bake. Flowers. I like flowers. Who doesn’t like flowers? I’ll buy some flowers and do the rounds. When? Grief.
I missed two community events this weekend. One was a dinner celebrating Muslim businesses. The other was a camp fundraiser. It’s been a really long time since I’ve missed stuff but I think that it’s just a symptom of home ownership. There is simply less time. I hope and pray I will learn how to become more efficient. I’m sort of slow with domestic tasks. I hope to learn how to grit my teeth and just get through them. I now have to write a report for school. Fun.
update: someone came and did the neighbour’s lawn. i guess our services are not required.
