I’ve taken a brief pause from adulting which lately has been in overdrive. No sooner were repairs to the ironwork complete and the contract for the kitchen renovation signed than the air conditioning system died completely, just as the heat climbed. I’ve gotten all ducks kind of in a row, the new AC will be installed on Monday, all permits have been obtained and posted in the 100+ heat, and I’m heading for the hills…literally. I’ve used all my adult cards for the next quarter, folks. One by product of the permit process, though, is this deep summer portrait of the front door, a view I don’t often have of my own life.
