I said to Ted last night, in a kind of exhausted despair, that we were doing so much around this place, and it costs money, but that I just wanted it done right, and done right at the start, so that we could live in comfort and not have half-assed projects or whatever hanging over our heads. Fortunately, he agreed, and we both have no desire to move again for many years, so hopefully getting all the things set up well at the start will give us a long and worthy investment of happiness and comfort.
And then on top of that I’m just wearily grateful that we can actually afford to do these things and make it nice and *be* comfortable. Not everyone is so lucky.
