♪♫ I Was Never There - The Weeknd
I finally moved into my house! The actual moving day went smoothly. Weather was decent, people showed to help, we got it done faster than expected, and nothing bad happened. However, since then, its been really rough. We spent a week without appliances (fridge, stove, washer, dryer, & dishwasher), because they couldn't deliver them immediately. We had men coming and going to do final touches on the inside of the house. We found out that we can't get internet, cable, or a landline phone here because its too new. We also didn't have our address officially recognized by Canada Post, so getting mail was difficult. Plus we kept having to buy things we didn't think of. We also have not finished unpacking!
Things have gotten much better though. We have all our appliances now. Everything is done on the inside of the house. We ended up getting Starlink (Elon Musk's satellite internet) since we could get any local internet. Canada Post just recently recognized our address, so we can get our mail. I am still not done unpacking. Its been very difficult between school and work to find the time. I still have to paint my bedroom walls and put up my posters/wall decor too. The last and final things to do will be to buy a desk and chair from Ikea for my room, and shelves for my DVDs/Blu-rays/VHS tapes for the living room. Hopefully that will be done before August. Its so close to be completed!
I ended up coming into some extra money that I didn't anticipate, so I purchased more stuff for my room. I got another Bob Masse poster (The Doors), a gorgeous '60s inspired poster that says "listen to vinyl", a picture of a crying '20s flapper girl (reason is that its one of my favorite art images), a remote/phone wall mount, a picture of Laura Palmer, three psychedelic art postcards, a fall sweater with a pumpkin design, a sunset lamp, two flower shaped coasters, and an orange flower pillow. Just waiting for it all to show up now! I also got a beautiful new plant; a pink African Violet, and I found a vintage kleenex box at the thrift store for $3 that matches my bedroom!
Some more exciting updates; my mom made me curtains! She has been sewing all her life, so I gave her two vintage sheets that I really love (same pattern) and she agreed to make them into curtains!
There are a few small things I still need to buy, like paint & paint supplies, a power bar to plug my electronics into, a frame for a painting, a couple more fitted sheets for my bed, tape for my posters, and a hand towel holder. For myself, I would also like to buy Cyberpunk 2077 for my PS4. Once those things are purchased, I will not be buying anything else. The money I had set aside for house-related things is almost depleted now. I am no no means broke though. I had planned to still keep some money in my savings and use some for my trip next month when I made the budget several months ago. I just don't want to go over my house-specific budget. So far though, I think I can still purchase the rest of what I need without going over the limit. Yay!
I will also be posting lots of videos and pictures once my bedroom is complete. Hopefully in a couple weeks. Maybe a bit longer depending on how long it takes for my posters/postcards/pictures to arrive. I plan on making TikToks to showcase my bedroom and collection. I by no means am interested in becoming a TikTok star, haha. I just want to share my love of retro aesthetics and maybe meet some cool folks who are into the same stuff. Once that starts up, I will post the link to my TikTok profile if anyone wants to follow! With that being said, I'm gonna go finish up some cleaning. I hope everyone is doing well!
