Six Months
I’ve reached the six-month point. Life feels like it’s established a normal rhythm, but then it doesn’t. Sometimes things go smoothly for a while, then something will remind me that it isn’t.

February 2019 Property Update
San Antonio House: In January, we took the Spitfire down to the San Antonio house and pushed it into the garage. We removed everything we plan to remove except the stove. The new owner made an appearance, got her walk-though, and picked up keys. Mr. L has some things he’s … Continue reading →
