We moved to our new house last weekend.
As stressful as things are, with all the headache of moving and talking to so many people, being in the house was still rewarding. It's our home. OURS.
We moved in without electricity and have people working. There's the bathroom and kitchen that needed an overhaul, the steps to be changed, and the electricity post that Meralco wants to meet specifications, even if it already has a meter base used a year ago. The signal from my postpaid phone is intermittent and my Internet connection sucks. So I hardly go online. But it's okay. Just being there is great.
It's really disappointing how money just disappears. I mean, last weekend we had lots of money. I am talking about the biggest amount I ever had my entire working life. Now it's almost all gone. Meow's taking care of all the other expenses. She's happy though, despite some nuisances from all the moving-in problems. She's happy and that makes me feel really good.
I always thought that moving out, I would be homesick. I am not. I like my family and I enjoy being with them, but being on your own home makes you really feel a sense of accomplishment. It's not like the feeling you see in sitcoms where people are jumping around and stuff, nor is it like us going through hell, it's different. I am not sure how it's like for other people. I guess after all the hard work, all that came into fruition. I am still concerned about finding a different job, but I think this is another step in reaching my dreams that till now remains hazy. At least now, I am not totally clueless what that is. And of course, I am with good company. She's great.
Waking up to the sound of chirping birds and seeing the sunset through the window is enough to compensate for all the hardship. I wish I could take some leave from work and just stay at home. That'll be great.
