. . . a transition which involves a lot of running around, heavy lifting, U-Haul driving, and a more thorough house-cleaning than I've done in many years.  And I've caught a spring cold, too.  But I'm getting my bike out of the storage unit again, which makes errand-running much more efficient and easier on my feet.

Status Update

Cherry blossoms are finally beginning to appear.  I've been working a part-time minimum-wage barista job, and arranging a sub-let apartment so I can move by the end of the month without wiping out my savings account.  Not an ideal arrangement, but the start of a transition.

St. Paddy's Day in Bellingham -

dodging a cloudburst, the celebrants had rolled
on to Boundary Bay Brewery, where they whiled
away a rainy Saturday in the beer garden.
