@lullaby: It's alright. He passed mainly due to old age. (He was sick but he was really old) He was a kind old man that fall in love with a younger woman. *^*; Yeah, it's sucky. I can hope so! I've had the plans drawn out/doodled for a while now so I'm hoping it happens sooner rather than later... I don't really care for the layout on this house. It's rather weird since it's so old so many people have added on to it. XD
Oh, he'll know it's the family home! It's permanent in our family due to the will so it's kinda a must. But he'll get to decide if he wants to live here or find someplace else when he's older. Cause I'm no way going to force him. lol If he chooses not to live here, I'm thinking rent house if I can get hubs to agree when the time comes. It'll be a few years off though.

@lullaby: Oh dear. That sounds awful. Sorry, it was so stressful! I'm glad you managed though.
It really is and my hubs has done most of the work himself since I'm so allergic to dust and such. I really don't need to end up sick cause of it. He hired a friend of his, since he doesn't have a job atm; so it helps him and gets us closer to the finish line.
We haven't bought a house at all actually. It was his dad's place before he passed away and it's split willed so it's stuck with us forever. (can't sale) It's a super old victorian, one of the first houses that was built in this area. We're just updating what's needed so not a dream home. At least for me! XD I was a cuter cottage type home. We hope to buy a small amount of land and build our dream home as a retirement thing and he agrees with my idea on style! <3 (At least for the inside, I dunno what he'll do on the outside. :/ )
The storage room will probably still be storage, mixed with a crafts room. It's really not very big so if we clean it out, it might just end up a sitting room with a tv in there.

@Gatorlec: Yeah, I heard most places are low on them! Here they just tell you to stay home of you have signs of it unless your life seems to be in danger. Hopefully, y'all avoid getting it!!

@lullaby: Ah, okay. So you get to do school at home then? That must be nicer than being in class. *^*

Yeah, it really is! XD I can't wait for it to be done. We have to be!! Or chaos ensues ~ Lol
Pretty good! We have someone coming in and mudding a texture on the walls so I'll be able to paint soon-ish.
Yep, pretty much. We're working on upgrading the whole upstairs. So new electrical, insulation, walls... The whole nine yards in most of it. So was already taken care of but we've been slow... XD It's been halfway done for a while now so this is a huge step.
We'll still have to do the bathroom and a really small room we're using as storage but the rest will be done in a few days.
Maybe a week or two at most, since we're waiting on a new attic door to get here and it's late.

@lullaby: Oh, that's good! Just managed to get it done early?? May I ask what you do?
We've been busy with a remodel and I have my kiddo home since the school closed down so super busy most days.
I miss the few hours he was at school so I could clean and Keep it caught up, with him home 24/7 I'm struggling to do it all.
And it doesn't help my hubs is a messy person too + the remodel clean up. X'D I'm tired and there's not enough coffee in the world... *^*


@Gatorlec: Oh no! I hope the rest of you don't get it... *^*;; That's super concerning.

@Gatorlec: Lol That's awesome! XD
I'm alright! Been busy and tired. *^*
I'm hoping things wind down asap after the remodel work is done.
How about you??



@lullaby: Thank you! How are you?

@Keo: I'm not sure? Everything has been slow on delivery thanks to everything going on.
That's a good idea. You can always do a cute quote on the frame to personalize it. A small one I'm sure they'd find room for?

@Keo: There are some cute surrogate gift ideas on etsy. Like a necklace that says, "Not the mommy, just the stork." And you can pick the stone color and add engravings. Or maybe to a plaque with an engraving? I'm honestly not sure what they'd like since I don't know them. XD
I don't think it's weird at all. I think it's sweet.

@Keo: Jumping in... I also have Animal Crossing and it's a super relaxing game. It's been what I play to chill with. It's very cute.

Oh. I hope you get it soon! My hubs still has his job, they had just cut hours so it basically just gave us a push where we needed it. XD

Yeah, I had told them it had broken do to him tripping so they had gotten us an appointment as soon as they could so we could talk about the options but it took them a few months to even get an appointment to fix it then the cancel made it even more difficult. (I honestly think the only reason they did this appointment so soon was that I explained he's eating way less and it was detrimental to his health.)
Oh yeah! They have a lot of rules they have to follow to even stay open. So I'm just thankful they got him in as soon as they could; like they normally don't do weekends so it's great they are. He's losing a bit of weight, he was already a picky eater so this is super worrisome for me. *^*;;

It's been okay! I got up early and cleaned the whole house and now just trying to catch up on laundry since kiddo feels like he has to change every few minutes. XD How about you?? *^*

@cashew: Okay! I'll start on clean up and transfer soon-ish. *^*

@Keo: Lmao I'll probably send you some stuff. *^*; I have a few older event items you may like that I'd never use. XD

Yeah, I'm really hopeful! My folks were laughing at me though. My hubs doesn't get serious about stuff like this until he starts throwing money at it so they didn't believe we were getting close to done until I mentioned he's paying someone to help and buying everything we need to finish. Lmao That stimulus went straight to helping someone else basically. Though we did pay our bills and stuff first... *^*; We're caught up for a while.

They did have spots open for emergencies so kiddo should have been able to keep his appointment since it was a sudden break. Poor kid has waited months now. :/ I do too... He's eating so much less since it broke and it's only getting worse since then. A baby tooth, thankfully; but if he loses it so early it can damage how his teeth grow in later. ;;>>

Yeah, I'm sure! That tends to be the worst.
They have then on amazon if you can order them. It saved kiddo a lot of pain.
Yeah, it's calming and helps numb the pain for most. So I hope it helps if you try it. *^*


@Gatorlec: That's great! :)
Lmao Love the name!! And the outfit is cool. XD

@Keo: Pff, I realized after posting it was the new di... ;;>> I derped. XD
Aww... Are you sure?? Is there anything I can give as a thank you?? *^*; I'd feel bad for just taking them!
Yeah, they've been working hard on it. I've avoided getting in the way since my allergies have been bad. So I'll basically do clean up and painting. For the room? We've just got to mud and paint it. Then everything else is minor so maybe a few days on those?
Yeah, I can hope! I've been super worried about it. With the corona stuff, they had canceled and rescheduled once already so we've been waiting months at this point... I'm terrified he'll lose the tooth. :/
I just try not to rant. I know many are dealing with a lot so I don't like unloading... ;;>>
Aw, poor yall!! Teething is tough... (For both of you) If you have some vanilla, you can try rubbing a bit on his gums. It works wonders. Or frozen teethers and the vibrator teethers work great too if you can get them.
Oh no! I understand the feeling. I hope you get a break from everything soon.


@Gatorlec: Understandable! Just take care of you~ We'll be here when you feel like chatting. :)
Oh cool! Are you going to frame it? *^*

@Keo: I don't blame you. I think many are feeling overstressed so it's good you're taking time away to help relax.
Lol Thank you! I figured I'd try anyway. XD
Welcome! *^* It turned out awesome~ I didn't realize there was unicorn items. (Or pretty sparkles) *^*;; I don't look since no monies to donate. XD
It's been okay... Stressful. ;;>> My hubs has had peps over to get the last bit of the room, we're working on now, done. He's been staying up late to do it so we haven't been sleeping well. We just have minor remodel stuff to do after though so easier soonish. On the plus side, we managed to replace our fridge so our food won't keep going bad from the temp error anymore. And kiddo will be gettin his tooth fixed this next weekend. Since as far as I've heard, his insurance will cover it. (Fingers crossed there cause poor kid hasn't been eating much since he broke it.) =^=; ((Sorry bout the rant))
What about you??

@cashew: Okay, great!! I normally start out traditional and switch it over so here's what I have sketched so far... I felt like the pose really suited the character. So if you like it, I'll start on transferring it and get the lines done up while fixing any errors so I can color asap. And that's not a problem! I tend to be rather slow so it's no worries for me. lol
