News from a new Homeowner

So, closing happened, and now I'm a homeowner. It was great, I showed up at the lawyer's like I was told at 11am, and they turned me away saying it was scheduled for noon. I drove all the way back home, when I got a call from my agent telling me to come back. After getting back, I waited around for another 15 minutes, making it almost noon . . . Then I signed a bunch of paperwork, and went about my day.
Over the weekend I spent over $1,000 on a couple pieces of furniture and blinds for ALL the windows. I bought a new refrigerator for about $1,500 and a new bed for around $2,000. All of this is on credit . . . Gonna keep my expenses as low as I can so I can pay off that debt as quickly as possible. The bed is to be delivered today, the fridge tomorrow. Luckily, most of that was financed with zero interest if paid in by the deadline. I think I might start putting in some extra overtime once I'm done moving to get that debt paid down faster.
I'm going to be moving slowly over the next couple weeks, a carload at a time. We'll be spending a lot of time there over the weekends doing some general work on the place (installed a mailbox yesterday, need to clean the roof and gutters, install the blinds, etc).
