+I feel for the people who have to move during the holiday season. We've been lucky in this regard so far. Our moves have been in September, February, April, and May. I was just thinking the other day how glad I am that we got here in May. Because if we'd moved in the winter, I have no idea how this remodel would've gotten off the ground.
+However, with every move, I admit that being without a washer and dryer is the hardest part. I always tracked down a laundry mat. I don't think it's appropriate to say "who wants to let me use their washer and dryer?" on Facebook. Like it's some kind of honor to allow that. I would NEVER ask social media such a question. Perhaps I would text message a friend. But more than likely, I would resign myself to a couple of hours at a laundromat. Suck it up. Egocentricity is the word that comes to mind.
+That's why I deactivate my Facebook every once in awhile. I can't stand looking at that stuff.
+Speaking of the military, enlighten me, civilians*: What kind of healthcare do you have/like? I mean, the military has this system of bars and brick walls (metaphorically and literally) that prevent you from having access to your doctor and/or nurse and/or information. I mean, can you call your doctor's office and talk to someone? I can't. I have to call this outside agency, leave a message with an operator, and hope they call me back. It's kind of barbaric because they almost never call back until I leave several messages. And I don't think 2 messages over the course of a week is too crazy. I called on Wednesday. Then I called again on Monday. Yet, I've heard nothing back.
*I'm technically a civilian because I have not signed up to serve my country. I'm just using the broader definition here.
+Blog friends are the best kind of friends. They're with you no matter where you go. I've met and moved away from more people than I can count in the last few years. While we keep in touch on Facebook (why I try to keep it activated) and the occasional text, the blog friends I've made are the only constant. Isn't that kind of crazy to think about?
Angi sent me this sweet Christmas package from Alaska.
+This is a really weak post. I apologize. Two more days and then Christmas vacation. My quality of life with the cold weather, sickness, and darkness has been low lately. Inspiration is hard to find.
+Yesterday was bookended with two highlights: a latte at 7am and a naan pizza at 7pm. Like I said, inspiration is hiding these days.
+ This weekend I plan on finishing the painting of the kitchen walls and making good dent in the painting of the cupboards. Most of the cupboards are painted already but there's one wall that's not. Here's your before picture.
It's everything a "before picture" should be: cluttered with bad lighting. Can only get better, right?
Stay tuned for progress.
