Today I have accomplished quiet a bit of work around the house. It still looks horrible but not as bad as it was couple of days ago.
I cleaned and re-organized the closet in my bedroom. I still need to sort through clothes to donate. I was hoping to do it as I was cleaning it but since I must wear some of them to see if they fit or not, I just could not do it.
I am hoping to put the guest room in order on Friday since I must attend a meeting tomorrow. I am planning to take down the closet at the entrance and go through my shoes during the weekend. There are boxes of shoes I could not bring so, I know I have more shoes than I need.
I have asked the cleaning lady to come on Monday. Before she comes in everything must be placed in closets or drawers so that she can truly clean. Hopefully next week I will be done.
I just cannot imagine how it is going to be in the spring when I will have the apartment painted. I am also planning to re-model the bathroom and the kitchen in the next 2-3 years if I can set aside the funds.
Here is what I am planning to do:
1. Pay the investment apartment debt. (2013)
2. Have the apartment painted (2013)
3. Have a nice vacation in the US. (I already have enough miles to cover the airline ticket).(2013-2014?)
4. Re-model the bathroom (2015)
5. Re-model the kitchen (2016)
The dates are of course tentative with the exception of number 1 and 2.
Hey, T'Pol! Moving house is always so stressful, regardless of whether it's all meticulously planned out or not. It sounds like you're settling back into Istanbul quite well. Your plans for the next few years are definitely doable, too. Excited to be able to follow you now - have you always had an English blog?
ReplyDeleteHi there! Good to hear from you. I follow your blog too. I guess school is keeping you busy nowadays. I had a Turkish Blog for quiet a while. I took it off-line. I think I will keep on writing in English.
