It’s starting to feel a lot more like home. There are still a lot of boxes strewn around, but it’s getting better.

Much like parking in the garage was a big milestone, there have been two more.

Last night I got some fishies, who are now happily swimming about and being cute. Fishies are much better than watching TV. Much more soothing, and less predictable.

Then, this morning, I sat out on the deck and drank my morning coffee. A small thing, really, but I’ve been missing this lo these many years. When Sarah was just a teensy thing, she and I used to sit out on the porch and drink hot chocolate together. Well, I would drink, and she would dip her fingers in it and taste.

I really really like my deck. You should come sip coffee with me out there some day.
