Week 2726

Had a diagnostic visit to the hospital on Tuesday, which makes me feel like a grown-up. Look at me, taking care of myself.

We’ve picked back up planning with a contractor to rebuild the achterhuis. That brings a mix of hope and dread. Meanwhile, the fancy new bathroom caused a giant leak because the contractors had failed to notice that tile grout and kit (caulk) didn’t meet. 🤦

Work is frustrating, but for no particular reason. I’m just feeling a bit stuck and having trouble applying my energy productively. Probably this is just the emotional drain of losing two key people before this month is over.

Today, I spent entirely too much time trimming back a very robust vine from the back of the house and attempting to route it. This led to nice conversations with a neighbor and makes me really feel like a “homeowner” like I haven’t since Seattle.
