The next day~

I woke up to my mom shaking me awake. "Get ready, were gonna go out to eat breakfast and I'm not waiting on you" she said as she walked out of my room. I sighed and went to my bathroom to brush my teeth and hair and do all my necessities. I did my hair and went back to my room to change. I put some shorts on and a fitted t-shirt. i put some mascara and lip gloss and quickly grabbed my wallet when my mom called me from downstairs. "Come on y/n we have alot to do today!" She yelled. "I'm coming!" I said as i was coming down the stairs. We were heading outside and saw mr Darko mowing the lawn, "good morning" he yelled out to us. "Good morning Eddie" my mom yelled back. "Good morning Mr. Darko!" I yelled as we got in the car. We drove to a diner and decided to quickly eat so we can get as much done in the house as we can. It didn't even take us an hour to eat as we drove back home shortly. When we got home we saw we had a note on our door. My mom grabbed it and smiled. "How nice, the neighbors left us their house number" my mom said as she opened the door. We walked inside and she stuck the note next to our phone. "Ok, let's get started then" my mom said as she put her stuff on the kitchen counter and we started to decide on what to do. We decided my mom was gonna do the kitchen while i did the living room and we were gonna work on the dinner table together. It took us about two hours to finish the kitchen an living room, which would have taken longer if we did one after the other. We then went to the dining room and unpacked the table. It was a big dark brown table with beautiful chairs to go with it, in California we didn't have visitors or anything so we had a small table for just the two of us, but we promised to be more social here so we decided to get a bigger table for diner parties and stuff.

          We got to working and i built the chairs while she did the table. We were able to finish within an hour and we're deciding on what to do next, "I'll do the backyard while you fix your art room Yea?" My mom asked me. "Sounds good" i said smiling and went upstairs. I had a bunch of paintings and canvass that i needed to make room for and different stuff. I decided to get rid of the closet doors and took them down so that the shelves would be exposed. I stuffed the doors in the very back of the closet so they wouldn't show and got to putting my things away. I put all clay and molding stuff in the shelves of my closet and other random knick knacks and stuff. I folded my apreons and put them in there as well. I got to my paints and put them in some cabinets i had in the room. I put them against the wall and organized them by medium. When i was done with organizing those i decided to put up some pretty drapes where the window was and pin them so that they are always open. The room has a big window facing the side of my house so i can see the rest of the neighborhood and trees and so that the sun can hit my window at all times and have there be natural light in the room all the time. After putting all my things away it was time to organize my books and paintings. I decided on putting away my books first because it would be easier and just organized them by whatever type of book they were and what they were about. I had a big book shelf in the room that i filled completely with books. Last that was needed to be unpacked were my paintings. I had about three or four boxes full that i needed to unpack. I took them all out and decided on putting my favorite on my easil while i didn't use it and to hang the rest on the walls and put the blank canvass in my cabinets. i had a lot of painting and i didn't want to overfull my walls with them so I decided to stack some against the wall on the floor and put some that i didn't like away in my closet.

        I was almost done when i forgot the plastic that i needed to put on the floor. I went looking for my mom to ask her if i could go to the store to pick some up. "Sure honey take the car, there's a market a couple of blocks away be sure to drive carefully please" she said as she continued whatever she was doing. "Ok mom" i said as i went back inside to grab the keys and my wallet and walked out to the car. We had a simple yet classic Ford car. On my way to the market i was nervous that i was going to get lost but i was able to make it to the store. I got down and quickly was looking for the plastic, i couldn't find it so i nervously looked for a worker to ask. "Excuse me, could you help me find the large sheets of plastic? Like for painting?" I asked, "of course, right this way ma'am" the guy said, i followed behind him until we got to the aisle. i thanked him and grabbed four packs of the plastic.
