We finally got settled after the big move and we're now in the middle of kitchen upgrades. This home is much newer than our previous mid-century home, which I loved but couldn't find in our new location. This newer home came with a dark and gloomy 1990's brown kitchen, so it was definitely due for an update.
In addition, we recently learned that a close family member is terminally ill. No fun for anyone involved but nothing anyone can do at this point, except support the ill person and see her to the end. It just plain sucks, especially now that we're in a different state and have to fly home periodically to see her.
Our elderly dog is having cognitive problems off and on, which is also stressful and sad. We're doing our best to hang out with her as much as possible and keep her calm during renovations. I think her hearing loss is helping her cope with the noise. It's a short reno, just a week, so things will get back to normal for her soon.
I'm working on my latest book in between all the chaos and looking forward to summer, when the weather is a bit warmer. We're also expecting company in our new digs, now that we have a proper guest room. I'm just grateful the kitchen will be finished before then.
I'll say this, life is never boring, at least not for long.
