I’m desperate to get back on some kind of track. It’s been such a long 2 years. On top of the crazy state of everything for everyone, we left Texas in November, and the chaos of life before has been completely overshadowed by the chaos since.

We’re rehabbing my late mother’s house, which was beset by a hoarder tenant who happens to be closely related to me. We’ve been living out of suitcases and airbnbs since. And honestly it’s been hell.

We’ve been in the house for about a week now. We have all new flooring, with scraped popcorn and newly painted ceilings. It’s not perfect, or even good yet, but we’re trying to find our way.
