Now, as of August 2026 [Now]

Here’s what I’ve been up to / thinking about lately: Thoroughly enjoying my shed office. I love having a dedicated space to work that’s relatively quiet and sort of outside. It’s been pushing my limits in terms of heat over the past few weeks, but I’m still doing okay with just the open windows and a fan. I finished building a wall (to separate the office from the stuff-storage part of the shed) and a ceiling (to quiet the sound of rain on the metal roof) a few days ago. It’s still all unfinished – just 2x4s and OSB for the new wall/ceiling – and I have no plans to add drywall or other finishing touches anytime soon. (See pictures without the wall/ceiling in my post about working outside.) Wishing my kids would sleep more. They are inconsistent but have woken up too early for my liking more than usual in the past few weeks. (I’m actually not sleeping particularly well myself, either. Not sure why.) My limited personal time mostly happens when they’re in bed, so I’m always a bit…
