I’d been outside an unusual amount of the weekend, trimming hedges and whacking weeds (and the ivy overtaking the universe back yard).

Prepared for the cicada scourge
Since my Sis and BIL gave me all kinds of good ideas and then my Dad (who is fully vaccinated, yay) came by with the drill to help with the hardware installation… I now have a semi-private and semi- enclosed section of my deck:

My back yard would be a pleasant oasis (jungle next door notwithstanding), if not for the fact that:

Flush mounted globe lights are fine enough I suppose, on a low ceiling.
Not so much over a staircase though. Continue reading “Poorly planned”
Tending to the unseen (outside and in)
Beyond my fence, is a little strip of land that’s technically public property – there’s a sidewalk and guardrail and whatnot out there.

So I’ve gone a little nuts
As I’ve been making all these changes (and they’re not being related to you in order, necessarily), the furniture in my living room has started to bother me more and more.
When I moved into my apartment, I was in the process of filing for divorce, and in need of a place to live and new furnishings in a hurry (mostly because while my parents were very generous about being willing to let me stay with them until I got settled, the 2-hours-each-way commute from their place to my office just wasn’t going to be feasible long term).
So I was simultaneously shopping for furniture and shopping for an apartment to put it in.
