in progress

while sitting at the dining room table, each of us on our devices studying, erk starts to read aloud about social cognitive theory, and i think he is making fun of me in some way, because it sounds like he is reading from the same text that i am

but he isn't. we happen to be reading about the same thing at the same time

and suddenly i realize how sort of crazy it is that we are both in school at this point in our lives (with two kids and two dogs and one job between us) and crazier still that despite his studying dentistry and my studying human sexuality they are both in the field of health and how crazy that is - that i never saw that similarity/overlap.

i know one day we will look back on this time - when we spent our evenings studying instead of watching a show together or endeavoring independently into our own hobbies, or going out dancing(!) , and we will think: those times were hard - good, but hard

but you need some hard times to fully appreciate the easier ones, and i don't want to ever forget that.

to the peep show lovers

our apologies,
after ten months,
we finally bought blinds.

heavy

this is what half a ton looks like
for those of you that don't know (i didnt know until this morning) a ton is 2,000 lbs.  (i know because we drove it all to the dump and they weighed it)
these are the remains of what came out of the wall to install the doors we just put in. funny how i didnt notice it as much when it was part of the wall; but sorting all of it into buckets and milk crates made me appreciate its significance. it also made me appreciate what a mess something can be when it is not where it belongs.
