1118 miles later, we are at home in Massachusetts. Our new house is beginning to look like an actual house instead of just a storage center for boxes, and the cats have begun to settle in. I love the town, I love not being hot, I love how pretty things are around here. There's a lot to get used to, and a lot still to do, but I'm happy to be ( Read more... )

My lappy continues to be somewhere where I am not, which is saddening. But it's marked as "parts ordered" now, so it is being fixed! I am hopeful that it will be returned to me next week, and then I will tell it how much I loved it and missed it. Which will be true, but also probably somewhat creepy to watch ( Read more... )
