I Hate My House (Long)

The electrician is scheduled to come tomorrow. I am getting anxious knowing DS will be anxious. I found this article that does a good job of describing his mindset:

This is interesting and valuable in order to "get inside the mind" of someone with OCD. It's always easier to adapt to behavior when you can understand it better. It's probably not easy for you, Jeppy, but being "with" him in mind and spirit I'm sure makes it easier.

Today I came home and all sorts of furniture was out of place and I was concerned. Through an intermediary I learned that DS was testing all the electric outlets and labelling them on the circuit breaker box. This was something he told me back when he still spoke to me he felt was necessary before an electrician came out. So I am cautiously optimistic that in the near future he will be ready for an electrician to come in and restore power to his room. That is the lowest hanging fruit if I ever sell the house. Other things that would make it more saleable such as a kitchen remodel or new furnace would be pricey.

That’s good news!

Sounds like progress, hopefully.
