We bought a house.
I am learning that this is a thing that you get congratulated on. I mean I am sure that I have told people congrats for buying a house but now that I’ve done it I’m just like
I think it’s because it’s not a thing I worked at. I mean we just paid a whole bunch of money, and it wasn’t a thing we planned on doing, we just got thrown into it and I generally prefer avoiding responsibility. But I also have to think like probably just 40 years ago a Black family probably couldn’t easily get a house let alone on this side of town let alone in a neighborhood that has a surprisingly high number of democratic signs in the yard. And I could say “oh we could leave it to Addy” but she hates obligations even more than me. Basically I haven’t sorted out my feelings.

“ugh, I suck at everything”

“this doesn’t count because it’s easy for me”
It’s a cute little house, I mean there’s just 3 of us and the dog. We’re a whopping 5 minutes from where we’ve been living so Addy doesn’t have to switch schools and we don’t have to learn a new grocery store or anything like that. It wasn’t as…frustrating as I thought it would be, but it’s also a different time than when people were having to go way over asking or whatever the absolute mess the market was in at the top of the panny. The previous owner must have binged watched every episode of Chip and Joanna’s show and then chased it with The Home Edit because it is beyond move-in ready. The closets have those tricked-out baskets that roll out. She even did that thing where you have the vinyl labels in the pantry.
