Backyard Eve

The last two months have flown by. Here's some things that have happened since the last time I opened my text editor to write.

Waiting

The second coat of paint is drying on the wall in our laundry room. Well, half of our laundry room.

Challenges

I am ready for this summer rhythm: a little overscheduled, a lot accomplished.

Called Out

Coaching starts back up next Saturday. I'm not ready.

Placeholder

Someday, hopefully not soon, I'll write the piece that talks about our friendship like a flower in your front bed that (pleasantly) surprises you when it pops up in the spring because it's still there.

Unfinished Projects

This week marks two years since we closed on the house. I try not to dig too far into the mental list of projects still not completed.

To Do List

In which I mark off half of the ideas I even had for this blog.

Everything Flows

This week was hardly the first time I've acutely felt the passage of time, but so many things reminded me.

Renovations

It's the first of the month and I'm already tired when I look at my February calendar.

Opportunity Costs

Two Weekends

What Do You Have to Say for Yourself?

Three and a half years is definitely my personal record for longest stretch of time without writing in a public space.

Just Don't

I want to eradicate the word from my vocabulary.

Why Blog?

It took me less time to install this blogging software — no five-minute install, either — than it did for me to decide what I'd use it for.
