Building Bhangoo

This renovation has been fine and complaining seems selfish in a lot of ways but this blog is for me and it’s for me to look back at this adventure and see how we got here. So complain I will it’s my outlet. I never believed it would be pretty or easy. I’m a realist. I try to see the good in most everything (and complain through it all but see the good nonetheless). There’s progress. The house looks awesome from the outside. It’s far exceed my expectations. It fits in, doesn’t look “new” and feels beautiful. I love it. 
The inside well that’s a different story right now. My kitchen is still a challenge. I can’t cook in it. I’ve been using my crockpot and microwave which I basically lit on fire and it ended up outside for a couple days (true story) to air out. I don’t use a microwave to cook who does?? 

The bathroom. This situation is the most difficult. We have to be showered by 7am every day but Sunday. There’s one functioning shower and showering by 7 doesn’t seem strange but it’s freezing. There’s no heat in the part of the house where the shower exists and it’s basically an igloo but with wooden boards. It’s scary and dark and not fun. I will openly admit it’s wearing on me. I don’t like it. 

My current bedroom is a closet. Literally. Rajs clothes are hanging up in this bedroom and my former shelves from my previous closet are on top of our bureau. It’s a closet and it’s hard. It’s hard to find clothes it’s hard to put clothes away. It’s hard. 

Enter the container store. I am containing myself. That’s getting me through this. I go to the container store and buy everything from blackboard tape to chalk pens to turn tables to containers. It’s my safe place right now. I love it in there. Something about the organization that can occur as a result of just walking into the store has me calm. It’s filling the “cooking” void in the cook and run philosophy I have to get me through life. It #containsme. No joke. 

This post doesn’t make much sense in that it has no real purpose other than to jot down my current thoughts and thoughts they are. That’s the update!
