Where Am I?
I usually log onto this website every day as a handy aggregator for my favorite links, but I haven’t made a new post in months. Almost an entire year, in fact. Interesting things have been happening in my life despite the silence on this site. Primary among these: Sara and I sold our condo and moved into a new house last June–our first real house together. Built in 1992 it’s a multilevel with more than twice the space of the old place. A city park with a pond is just a short walk away behind the house.
Since the move the amount of jobs/chores has multiplied exponentially. Especially relevant to me is all the yardwork I had not been missing since I left for college: mowing grass, trimming bushes, raking leaves, shoveling snow, etc. Plus we’ve been doing quite a bit of interior refreshing such as new paint, cabinet door handles and assorted hardware, new light fixtures, and new wall outlets and switches. We’re making the place a bit better one weekend at a time. It’s been a lot of work but I still like it more than the old condo, and I’m thankful for the small conveniences–every day this winter I have been able to park my car in the garage!
