For most of December, our home was an utter mess. Food was stacked in my room with exactly enough room to sleep. Okay, sometimes. After a real break, I finally made progress. After tearing apart the counter of the old kitchen, and building a new shelf in the corner, it was time to find the…

052 Preparing for a lot of mess
I’m about to make a big mess in my basement and kitchen. Let’s get some tools, and prepare for said mess. I wanted to take apart the kitchen the next day, so had to get anything out of the way that needed the kitchen intact. I won’t be able to use this cart until the…

051 Q&A (Personal edition)
You asked, and today, I am going to answer. We’ll talk about shoes–or the lack thereof, protective equipment, what I study, where I have lived, and my chronic illness. Now that there are more of you. I asked for your questions, then tried to make this one cohesive episode, but there is just too much…
