How Bizarre
So we have some back neighbors who live in addition to this house we're renting. Two family situation, but not really a duplex, but still we share a narrow back wall. It's a good situation, we never get any noise from that side except maybe the sound of a washing machine or the water pipes. They're an older couple, grandparents, nice to the kids ( Read more... ) -

I really wish I had some charged batteries in my camera. The storm windows here in the office get a lot of condensation (which is bad). And today it's freezing so they've all iced up, which means I cna't see much of anything. But one upper pane in one window froze in the most amazing way. The others are mostly just frost with bits and pieces of ( Read more... ) -
Hunting and Gathering
Yea verily, today I did go out and provide for my family like men of old. Forging out into the rain, wind and cold I did procure sustenance for our feast of Thanksgiving, and return it to the homestead.

Begin vent

Since then I've been focusing totally on them plus all the regular day things (which means watching the kids half of hte time, household stuff, moving stuff that ( Read more... ) -
Progress
I have a real bed, to my own (at least for the start of the night) and I'm surprised at how much I'm digging this. Ever since Crew was born, basically, we gave up on having a bed on a frame and just had our mattress and boxspring on the floor. Less far to fall ( Read more... ) -
My update
Thanks for the nudge...
OKay, this is probably old news by now, but hilarious. Politics as D&DSo, I don't even know that I posted that we've moved. We're now in Maine, in Bath. I don't have time to write a real summary, which is why I haven't written anything ( Read more... ) -
