Small Project Week continues.
Yet another spice drawer organized (no before picture this time)…
Bridging the Gap – by Pamela Schmid – Unpacking the Words
What started as a desperate plea could so easily have gone sideways if we’d dismissed the neighbor’s concerns. But it turned out she simply needed to be heard, and isn’t that what we all all want and need, especially now?
What we believe in.
A few more items completed this morning for Small Project Week:
- Replaced a latch on one of the garage windows.
- Moved several boxes if Beatrix’s old clothes from our 3rd floor to storage in the garage.
I also made a batch of Life-Changing 30 Minute Masala Paste in prep for dinner tonight.
More Small Project Week progress:
- Cutting, conditioning, and replacing the built-in cutting board (before on the right, after on the left).
- Hanging this “non fumeur” sign that has been kicking around loosely placed in the kitchen for years.
Starting off Small Project Week by beginning a reorganization of our spice drawers…
Before: a mess where you couldn’t see what you have and had to dig around to find anything you needed.
After: Much better. Easy to see what you have.
Bethany and I are officially declaring this week Small Project Week.
On the drive home from dropping off Beatrix we came up with a nice list of tiny small projects around the house and yard, any number of which would make life a little bit better. Small improvements, big impacts.
Lets go!
It all happened…
Despite the weather (it was pouring rain on move-in day). Despite the chaos (due to many factors). Despite not really getting the goodbye we wanted (everything was rushed). Beatrix moved into college and so far is settling in very well.
I’m trying to settle into my new life too.
Sorry for the radio silence here. I’ve been pretty consumed with dropping Beatrix off for her first year of college. The Now Page has a little more detail. Needless to say this is a momentous and emotion-filled time of life for us all right now. It deserves our presence.
Dolly Parton – I Will Always Love You
Surprised how absolutely crushed I am by the passing of Dolly Parton. A true legend and beautiful soul. What a gift she gave us all, not just in music but how to handle fame with grace, humor, and humility.
The IndieWeb Is Punk Manifesto
You don’t need a deal with a label. You don’t need a platform’s blessing. All you need is an out of tune guitar you can barely play, or a free text editor and a hosting bill. That’s it. That’s the whole scene.
What we believe in.
