Maybe it’s because I’m a Minnesotan, but it seems like BIG LIFE CHANGES always happen in the early Spring. Or at least need to be decided upon. So BIG LIFE CHOICES. As a single parent most of these have been up to me. And I am a-ok with that. I react quickly and decisively and prefer to get things sorted out as quickly as possible. Unfortunately it’s not always up to me. I’m on pins and needles waiting to find out if my son gets into the school I’ve selected for grades 9 - 12, in a different school distrcit. In the neighborhood we are moving to, to be close to said school. Speaking of…I had my heart set on a lovely duplex to move into. But my boyfriend convinced me to look at just one more. I grudgingly did so. And was pleasantly surprised. The neighborhood is much quieter, yet with a nearby commercial node. And the duplex itself looks like a concrete bunker from the outside. But inside it is incredibly well maintained, comfortable, with a gorgeous kitchen, two very nice bathrooms and an in unit washer & dryer. And it has central air. SOLD. The only thing it lacks is decent storage. I’m going to have to purge even more before the move. I need it to warm up, for real, so we can have a yard sale.
Five good things:
- IKEA helps a cosplayer with organization. Love it. Speaking of, later this month we’ll be dropping by Seattle’s Emerald City Comic-Con and I just noticed there will be a cosplay after party. So many photo ops.
- I adore MIA. Even more so since she became a mom. “Beyonce’s ‘Flawless’: MIA Previews Her Remix On Instagram While Dancing With Her Son Ikhyd“
- When you’re the parent of a child with autism everyone sends you these stories. But hey, it’s a good read: Reaching My Autistic Son Through Disney. And thanks to some pre-movie commercials last weekend my kid wants to go on a Disney Cruise. Oof.

Tomorrow is 3/14 - Pi Day! I bailed on some social activities this evening to bake three pies instead. Two acorn squash and one labneh cheesecake with pistachio crust. Tomorrow will be more than just Pi Day though. First thing in the morning we’re slated to do a walk through at the duplex before forking over a damage deposit and signing a two year lease. Hopefully we’re choosing the right path on our little adventure.
