finally

So June has been all about searching for a perfect new apartment, packing up four years + of stuff I need and stuff I don't need, moving it (special thanks to buddies Alex, Seph, Tash, Marty, and Kasha for carrying things down and up stairs), and now living in an apartment that fits me and slowly pulling my present and future out of boxes.

Goodbye Magnolia. Thanks for holding me so well for so long.

Late night, early morning fog (in my brain, to match the common bay area weather forecast) got shaken up this morning. It's been awhile since I resorted to "at least..." when trying to find the joy, but today is special.

Thank you to Oakland-bound Tash for the early morning perspective. No fog! All clear!

Okay okay, I slacked on this. Don't worry, I also slacked on doing things that make me happy - I haven't been running around doing great things and not sharing them. Today's highlight is this:
