Life's a Stitch

Let me start with the fact that bad habits die hard. A 15+ year history of blogging hasn't instilled in me the good habit of hitting the save button sooner rather than later. And when that's not done, the auto save doesn't kick in and you risk losing everything. Hence, my absence last week. I just didn't have the energy for a do-over.

Deep breath, here we are again. I must add I love having a computer again as almost two years of phone and iPad blogging leans toward the onerous. Hit save, I remind myself right now, as I have to check on dinner.

OK I'm back again. What have we been up to?  Once again full credit to our house sitters. Who knew when we weren't looking, Bryant and his friends became responsible enough to entrust with the care of our new home? The stories we have from the previous house in the rain forest… You don't want to know.

I'm feeling a bit distracted, can you tell? Too much on my plate in retirement. Really? Since we've been back there's been my new Zumba endeavour, a compromised credit card, painting classes, sifting through two months of mail, a trip to Washington to visit Blogless M and Dave as well as preparing our condo for sale. And we've only been home for a week.

The dry desert seems like a dream compared to the atmospheric river we've had since our arrival. But it's good to be home, cozied up in our house, C back to his woodworking and me with my painting.
