Every drop of water, crack, ant, royally freaks me out at this point. I can’t afford to rent. I own a shitty house that is a fixer upper. So frustrating.

    Bought cheap and underestimated the effort needed to make it your ideal. At least that’s my experience. It can get overwhelming at times but I find a certain peace I’m taking it as the demon you know. I get a lot of bugs in the spring when the weather starts to warm and it’s damn annoying, but know that when the weather gets more stable they’ll leave and I can get back to normal. It’s sort of a zen thing to recognize that it’s almost 100 years old, so yeah, there are going to be some annoyances, can’t call it unexpected.

    Basically just make it your own, and do what you can when you can. Unless you’re rich and have all the resources/time in the world there’s no point in getting in a panic that it can’t all be done at once.
