Another update

Yes, another post in the same day! haha.

So yesterday Joe replaced both our car batteries. Just now I was driving to donate some stuff to the thrift store and my car died just before a busy intersection! It wouldn't re-start, so I put my hazards on, got out, and told the guy behind me he should go around me. He said "okay" and asked if I needed help pushing my car. I said YES! We backed it up into a space - by the time it was out of the road, there were like six guys helping and more who had run over from their cars to help since the light was red! So helpful! Then I borrowed the guy's cell phone to call Joe. When Joe came, he started my car, no problem. Anyway, I made him give me his car for a thrift store trip because I was too paranoid.

I'm done with school, and we're halfway done cleaning up the downstairs. I did a lot of dusting, and when Joe gets his stuff organized we're going to mop. For some reason I got inspired to organize the stuff in our spare room, which is why I made the trip to St. Vincent's. Also, I gathered all of Joe and my old textbooks to see what we can sell online! Joe already has an ebay account which he's sold lots of stuff on, so I'm going to use his account since he has good ratings and stuff. Anything we can't sell we'll donate!

It feels good to be inspired to start going through stuff - like we're moving already. We're not, but we're hopeful!

Our bathroom looks like a barn, haha. See that yucky mold? Ew! We have our work cut out for us. Apparently in remodeling the bathroom, the previous owners glued a layer of sheet rock over the existing layer. Who knows what's between them! Gross! It sure feels good to root all this stuff out. Whether we end up renting the house or selling it, at least there will be one very redeeming part of it!
