since i bought a house
1. Started running again.
2. Invited people over – despite the lack of both heat and furniture. This has always been a big part of my life, but was completely absent in the hippie house.
3. Acquired a small but growing set of tools. Including a pry bar. Heh.
4. Told Operaman that I’m not waiting it out anymore to see if we can make it work – that even though we both want it to work, he needs to show up fast and fully, or I’m going to start seeing other people.
5. Started seeing other people.
6. Not once taken the bus to work instead of biking just because of the weather.
7. Took my first swing dancing lesson, which I’ve been planning since summer two thousand six.
8. Ok, I went swing dancing with Operaman. But I’m still seeing other people.
9. Written a one point two million dollar grant for work.
10. Joined a soccer team.
11. Felt generally kickass again.
Now granted, some of these things are happening because it is spring, and because I’m no longer brand new at my job, and because I’m no longer brand new in Portland. But damn. I sure do better with a Big Project to rally everything else around, and it turns out a falling-down house is as good as a marathon or a long trip.
