Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

It's still very hard to walk in there. I had to bring myself to it today. Nothing is going to get done by just sitting around and being sad. Though I was shocked again when I saw that all the scrubbing we had done to the hall floor to get the grout up caused the polyurethane and the stain to come up too. We're just going to keep finding stuff. Throw another thing on the pile. It's starting to feel like we're never going to be able to move in.

Went through the bedroom and circus room today. Touched up the moldings, door trims and ceiling paint. The moldings are still pretty messed up. I think I can get the bedroom ones a little better. Despite that, my attitude has been 'do what you can and try not to dwell on it.' If we can figure out a better fix we'll do so after we're moved in and had some time to breath. I felt a little better having left and gotten some work done.

Going to go room to room and continue doing that: clean up floors, touch up door frames, touch up moldings, re-paint any messed up ceiling spots and do a general clean. I plan on doing the hall and living room Saturday and kitchen Sunday. I really want to take care of the floors. It's the biggest blow to me. I put so much effort into those floors. I still haven't fully assessed the bathroom yet. I think I need to get some victories under my belt first.
