Last week was filled with good news. The biggest was news that Wells Fargo is approving us for a workout package under the Home Affordable Modification Program. We have to make 3 payments at a significantly reduced rate than what we previously had and if we can do that we should be approved for a permanent modification. We’ve been trying to get approved for this for a long time, so this was a huge unexpected blessing. I suspected we were coming close to foreclosure and I was really struggling with that. We love our house and didn’t want to have to move!
Because our living siutuation has been so precarious, I haven’t put much time or effort into things around the house lately. I’ve been completely unmotivated to even bother. Now that it does look like we’ll be staying here, we’re expecting company at Christmas and it’s time to get everything back in shape.
This week my focus is Violet’s room, which doubles as the guest room. I need to put up outgrown clothes, finish some decorating now that she’s actually sleeping in there, and get it ready for our Christmas guests. I’m thinking 30 minutes a day should get the job done…I can’t imagine it will take any longer than that!
