November remains undefeated.

A month of celebration, friends, family, and the leaves turning a perfect shade of red and gold.

It’s cliche, sure, but I’m reminded of how much in my life I have to be thankful for.

Blog: My Archive

Archive

One of the awesome parts of running your own blog is that it is an archive of everything you’ve written over the years that you have complete control over. However, as the years go on, I realized that I don’t have a place where I can keep a nice tidy archive of my favorite things (or pieces I think are noteworthy) I’ve written. A place to document the various series or long-form pieces I’m proud of and the reviews that I think stand out above the others.

This is now that place.

That month sure went quick. 🎃

October was spent continuing to move into our new home, finalizing unpacking, ordering and putting in new furniture, and making the place feel more like “ours.” The little touches of absurd nerdery helped. We took some time to visit pumpkin patches, attend my sister’s annual Halloween party, and I (shocking, I know) even found time to spin a few records. We’re one dining room table delivery and a window covering install away from being pretty much done with the move. And I’m really looking forward to things settling down and finding a routine again; especially as we move into my favorite time of the year.

October 2024

A lot can happen in a month.

We officially packed up and moved out of the city at the start of the month and have spent the last three weeks unpacking and trying to find a new semblance of routine. Moving was stressful and bittersweet. Saying goodbye to the condo and where the last 12 years of my life have been spent was hard. But, just the same, falling in love with the new home and all the space we now have has been well worth it. And waking up to the view? Pretty special. Getting used to the quiet and not having the ever present hum of the city has been interesting. And slowly getting things setup again so they feel like home has taken just about every spare second. But we’re getting closer and my office space got completed this weekend. More to do, lots more to do, but we’re well on our way now.
