Hay, Mik! The house is, in theory, finished. We are still sweeping up after stupid contractor tricks, but that may be an ongoing situation. (Why didn't they insulate under the kitchen floor? Why does the insulation the kitchen wall stop a foot above the floor, causing the water line to the dishwasher to freeze up? We will never know, and we have washed our hands of them. We've got somebody who will fix these things properly.) Overall, though, it's lovely and it's comfortable to live in. We love it, and we really love being in a town where we can walk to groceries, the bank, the dry cleaner, restaurants, the playhouse, the jazz club, yadda yadda yadda.
Quirt is ridiculously busy with work. It really is 24/7 for him, whereas I'm going to be able to smear my retirement over the rest of my life. He will probably have to work full-out until he turns it off like a switch. I stopped teaching a year ago this month, although I'm doing some freelance online classes now and then. I've got four book projects in various stages of completion--final editing, drafting, proposal, proposal--but I'm in control of my schedule, so I spend a lot of time traveling to friends and family or having them come here. It's all good!
