What I'm Reading This Week #39

Um, how is tomorrow October?  Oh that's right, we reno'd our way through September so we didn't get to enjoy any of it.  Awesome.  😝  

I find it funny that as each project rears it's head that I begin furiously scrolling Zillow looking for a way out.  What I discover each and every time is that no matter where we are, there will be projects.  The downside being that we would have an inflated mortgage for a POS house that we'd have to invest tens of thousands of dollars in on top of what we paid for it.  So it's almost like a way to say "hang in there, you're going to have the house the way YOU want it and for much less than if you bailed and bought some rando house out of just being over it."

No rest for the wicked.  That comes next weekend when we're officially taking a break because we are just very mentally and physically done.  So I will just push forward with what I can knowing that we're going to have some small break in the clouds.  I'm still not where I wanted to be but much further than we were.  I'm still amazed that as this process has progressed that the Mr didn't mentally snap and walk up to me and be like:

"No more 'summer projects' woman!  A man can only take so much!"  source

(Obviously, he wouldn't lay a hand on me but somehow I feel like in today's world I still have to spell it out for the dip wad who isn't fluent in sarcasm that stumbles upon this and clutches their pearls at the thought.)

What's on tap for you fine folks this first weekend of October?
