      Congratulations! That's a big milestone. I hope your new home is comfortable and in a neighborhood you like and can see yourselves in for some time to come.

          Good question. I've made sure to only drink and cook with bottled water, which seems to be helping some with the liquidation of my bowls, but it's 20 degrees Fahrenheit here, and a whole bunch of family is in town, so my stress levels are super elevated. My stomach isn't great, and my pain levels have been a real issue. Thankfully, I head home tomorrow, so just one more day to endure.

        We're still setting up furniture. We got TVs mounted on the walls over the past week, got our couch delivered, and starting to organize the kitchen. I'm also looking into smart home stuff because I'm a techie and it's fun. So far so good!
