General Ramblings

Happy Spring everyone!  I am so glad to be enjoying open windows and lilac-scented breezes!

In March 2022 Abbie and I went for a walk through the MA Audubon Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary trials. Last weekend Jim and I went for a nice walk ourselves.

In October 2021, a production crew came to Ipswich to film the newest adaptation of Salem’s Lot / Jerusalem’s Lot, a story by Stephen King about vampires.  The majority of filming took place right outside our house!

Today is my 8th Blogiversary.

This post is dedicated to my Dad.  He’s pretty awesome.  From a young age he instilled in me & my brother the value and satisfaction of DIY. 

OK, it has come to my attention that I haven’t posted ANYTHING in over 7 months.  I also have done no projects worth mentioning.  I think I’ve done 2, didn’t take any photos of the first, and haven’t posted about the 2nd, even though it’s been > month.

For the past year or so I have taken a different approach to blogging.  As have the vast majority of bloggers I follow.  Some have postulated it’s the natural evolution of blogging on the internet.

Working from home has it’s challenges but overall it’s been a very enjoyable experience!

I don’t like the new normal.  Not at all.  I am not good with change.  It triggers my anxiety.  And makes living with depression more difficult.  But at the same time I am thankful for so much. 

I can’t believe it’s my 5th Blogiversary.  I started back in 2013 and have come so far in 5 years!  I am so comfortable with everything I never used to be.  Buying wood.  Cutting my own wood.  Buying paint.  Fixing things instead of replacing them.
