Out

The day before yesterday our well ran nearly dry. It did this a few months ago and we spent a week or two eating off of paper plates and bathing at my in-laws' house. Unsurprisingly, living without plentiful running water is not something we want to do so we stepped up our apartment search and found something. There was scarcely anything suitable out there but we have to get out of here soon so we picked the best thing we could find for now, and will move in six months or so, when hopefully there will be more available. We'll have to move at some point, because the place we found only has one bedroom! Fine for now, not so great when we want to move Pearl out of our room. But it's nice and open and roomy, good light, affordable, even has a yard. It's a house that was turned into two duplexes, and is pretty funky. It is on too busy a street, and doesn't have a washer and dryer, though there are some on-site. Across the street are sloping fields, a wooded hilltop. That piece of land has been ready for development for years but I guess no one has snatched the opportunity yet, so for now it's nice to look out on.

I'll be offline for a while, packing and cleaning and moving and all that. I leave you all with this picture of my one-tooth wonder's one tooth - the second still hasn't popped through! We're in for a long, slow ride with this teething business I guess!
