Rebuilding
Hello, poppets! Sincerest apologies for the delay in weekly updates! As some of you know, we were jaunting about Europe for most of April. We’ve returned and mostly readjusted to regular life stateside. (The trip was completely and utterly amazeballs and we are still processing it all…) So then! Back to our wee house and […]

The Gutting, pt.2
Hello, friends! Welcome back to tales of destruction! Last week saw the utter demolishment of our walls! And ceiling! Thanks to the previously discussed abestos in our drywall, they all had to come out. In my mind, I thought I would be prepared for the aftermath of that, but the reality was, well, surreal. Now […]

The Gutting, pt. 1
Welcome back, poppets! Things happened last week! Things that proved this is real and happening. Floors were covered or ripped out where they’ll be replaced. Cabinets and appliances disappeared. But then things got REALLY REAL. We got to have our first weekly status Teams call (and the first, and hopefully LAST, big change order, thanks […]

The Great Move Out
Well, friends, the last month or so has been a whirlwind of purge, donate, box, rinse, repeat. We knew we had a hard date for the house to be empty by March 7. But when you’ve lived in one place for 15 years, and have as many hobbies as we do mixed with horrible hoarder […]

Price Place 2.0
Well, hello there! Welcome back to this space! Big news here, people! I debated starting this series for a while. Who’s gonna care about some random remodel. What finally won me over was regretting not doing it in a year or 5 when the details become foggy. So here we are. Last Friday was a […]

limbo
To be honest, when I logged on to write this today, I was surprised to find I’d done a post in March 2020. It feels like so much longer. Like everything these days. If there is one thing in this life I am good at, it’s denial. Denial of reality, denial of emotions, of feelings, […]

distillation
Hello, friends. It’s been a minute. To be honest, I didn’t know if I could write this. I still don’t. But it seems necessary. I don’t know where to start. It seems like I should start at the end, since that is what today marks. The Geek’s dad died a year ago today. In the […]

time
I have written many words in this space. Most come easy. The ones that follow are both the hardest and the most important. It is hard to believe I am even writing them. My heart is pounding. As many of you know, 2019 has been a year of loss and heartache for us. It’s not […]

lost
Hello, friends. It’s been a minute since I had words to leave here. I’m not entirely sure I have them now, but I’ll leave some anyway. Spoiler alert: I’m pretty sure this story doesn’t have a happy ending. It’s also not unique. But it has been our story for nearly a month now. On March […]

refresh
The Geek recently reminded me that it’s been, as the kids say, a hot minute since I laid down any words here. My bad. No particular reason, aside from lack of motivation and/or inspiration. I find 2017 – and by that I mean Trump et al – sucked every last bit of positive energy from […]
