A review of Jan 2019

Oh hey. It's February. Wasn't it just New Year's Day?

Renovating the Rental Condo

I'm fortunate, through the foresight of my parents, to own a rental property. I once lived in said property and quite loved my home. I still do love that sweet little condo and hope to keep it for as long as it's reasonable.

My tenant moved out in December. Renovations had to be done. There had been a lovely silver carpet in the condo. After 5 years and 2 cats, it had to go. The walls needed painting and some upgrades were in order.

Nov 6, A Warm Fall Day

Today I stepped out around noon to run some errands in the neighbourhood. It's November so of course I'm bundled up and braced for cold wind. Today it was a surprisingly warm wind! I think it's 15 celsius out there. (It is, I just checked the weather.)

Changeling

What does it mean to change?

I mean subtle changes, shifts really. Small things that don't seem like much at first, but eventually are meaningful. I look back and find I no longer identify with that which came before.

The Fate of the Balcony Garden

About a month into it, the garden was thriving. Everything was green and bright and growing. Then one day I noticed a wee red dot on a leaf of lettuce. Perplexed, I squinted at it. It proceeded to stroll on up that leaf. I peered closer and found many such dots all over my lettuce.
