Ow

[moonwise]

Somehow I got sunburned on the backs of my upper arms today, and it hurts like a mofo.

We agreed on a house price today. Yay. House needs a good bit of work, and we are not going to pay for French wells. Guess who will pay to have that remediated (hint: not us.)

Looked at lots of furniture. Shit, Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel are expensive.

Today was the second annual Rescue the Pansies Day. The johnny-jump-ups I bought two years ago have reseeded themselves all over the lawn for the second time, so to avoid the cruel blades of Mr. Lawn Mower, I spent the afternoon digging them up and replanting them.

Fannish news: I HAS A TOURNESOL. w00t.

Congratulations on the house!!! :))

I hope you get it!

It looks great! The front reminds me of your parents' house and I like that the living room and kitchen is separated by some steps. Just don't forget the stairs when you're carrying plates and food into the living room. :)

Do you have some aloe vera cream? It works wonders on sunburns.

And the pansies will probably thank you by creating some nice looking flowers. ^__^

Thank you! I hope we can manage it too, we are a long way from the end with the sellers!

You're very perceptive - the layout of the house is very similar to my parents' former residence. It feels very familiar inside because of that. We will have to be careful of the stairs for sure, though!

Sadly, we do not have any aloe vera cream, but we do have some after-sun lotion from the company store. It feels good and smells nice too. :)

How was your weekend?

I hope the after sun lotion helped at least a little bit for the sun burn.

The house isn't located in the same area as your parents' house? I noticed that several houses looked from the outside to be similar to your parents' house.

Is there a garden too? That can't be as large as your parents' garden. :)

My weekend was good and quiet. I worked on Sunday morning to have the afternoon free. It's always a relief to get the work done early.

I hope you had a good weekend too. Sounds like it was busy with scoping out the house and starting on the sale.
