It’s time to start this thing up again

Where the heck did June go? Oh well.

Briefly, it’s been a heck of a year, which is part of the reason I haven’t been around here. There was too much to do.

Sick from December into January
Took through March to recover to a point somewhat less well than I was in November
In the middle of that our sump pump literally burned out filling the basement with smoke and water, eliciting a call to get the thing replaced
Then we got a dog
Spent a month recovering from that but it wasn’t her fault
In the midst of that, the new sump pump went screwy – a design flaw the plumber managed to fix (I hope permanently)
But we had a flooded basement again
The basement has been wet since December and just dried out in June
I really don’t have the energy to take care of the amount of water we had, not quickly anyway, so it was a bad time for a long time.

So here I am in July – a month I have a strange relationship with.

Time to start anew. Have I said that before? Well, at least the basement is dry so now I can start a new phase – cleaning out all of the stuff that got destroyed. At least it’s a definable goal.
Onward and upward – or at least not backwards. Sideways, I’ll settle for sideways right now, with maybe a little forward.
