This weekend seems like the first where we are really getting moved in and operating in the house. The major construction projects of the closet refinishing and bathroom painting are done. We still have to fully move into the clothes closets and move me out of clothes boxes, but I wear the same thing every day so it isn't a pressing task. Amber started putting up things on the walls Sunday and continued today. I've been working on cooking manageable meals where cleanup happens right before and after eating.

It is interesting to me how non-trivial the little things in life are. It is almost like turning round a sisyphus-ian task where before you pushed a rock up a hill only to lose it and see it roll down, after you push it up for the sheer joy of watching it roll down.

It was a warm day in Austin and I opened up the front windows to let the breeze flow through the house. Chloe enjoyed hanging out on the sofa and barking at the occasional bird, squirrel, or any other passerby.
