Slowly.

I keep waiting for some big moment of closure to descend. Or, an “aha” moment that transcends all others.

So, I keep on reminding myself that moving on is a slow and gradual process. Just like renovating.

It’s the end of March, and we’re finally going to get to paint this week! The walls are closed, and Trevor, the drywaller, has patched the walls and done an amazing job scraping and finishing the ceilings.

The condo is a mess of white drywall dust. It’s even seeping out of the crack under the front door into the hallway. I wonder when someone will complain. But, it’ll be over soon. The ceiling is getting painted tomorrow, and I’ll be attacking the big job of painting the condo, with a little help from my friends, on Tuesday. From there, the floors can go in and the bathroom can get finished. Once that’s done, I can technically move in. I sincerely can’t wait.

Photos of the drywall mess are below. Enjoy.
