BoyPenguin and I now officially live in the Bay Area!

I’m probably going to dox myself a bit with this post, but I’ve been up all night stalking the local wildfire. We’ve been under a level II fire ban for a few days, which means NOTHING incendiary. SOME IDIOTS decided to shoot tracer rounds yesterday and started a fire that’s spreading. My mom thinks her work is going…

So, we’re 3 1/2 weeks away from the wedding that BoyPenguin and I decided last week to have. So far, we have a park, a caterer, dessert(s), a photographer, disposable bamboo platterware and silverware, mason jars with handles, and two very excited flower girls. Nearly everyone we want there will be there, and things…

I leave my brother’s house here in New York. On one hand I’m sad about it; on the other, I’m a bit relieved.

So BoyPenguin’s mom left last week for her housesitting gig, and I’ve had some time, distance, and talks with BP since then about the situation and how we’ll handle guests from now on.

I didn’t think I’d have an update so soon, but here we are.
