2023 Project 52 – 12/52

Week two in the new house. The old house has been making progress. The basement is fixed, new drywall, paint, and carpet. Our handyman did a bunch of painting. Now we’re waiting for the flooring for the kitchen to arrive…

2023 Project 52 – 11/52

Regular old week of work, school, unpacking, and dealing with repairs at the old house. Just working through one thing at a time, it’s all we can do. We have been enjoying the city life however we can though. We’ve…

2023 Project 52 – 10/52

Quite the week. We closed on the new house. The son premiered his documentary. Movers moved most of the house this weekend. The son left to drive to the West Coast. My dad (who lives in SC) stopped by to…

2023 Project 52 – 8/52

Update on the dishwasher leak! Apparently the fans and dehumidifiers weren’t drying up the kitchen. The contractors took a closer look and realized the tiles were laid over linoleum, so they were going to have to rip up the tile.…

2023 Project 52 – 7/52

Ugh, this week. It started off busy and just ramped up from there. Things are progressing at the new house just fine now. The packing is progressing too; I found an old visa from my trip to the USSR in…

2023 Project 52 – 5/52

It was a week, y’all. It felt like Friday by Wednesday. Currently have way more things adding to my list than leaving my list. But, all I can do is keep chugging forward and do what I can do. /shrug…

2023 Project 52 – 1/51

Starting a new Project 52 for 2023! I certainly love looking back through the photos from last year to see what an eventful year it was. We certainly had some highs and lows. I prefer the weekly posting format over…

52/52

This week we dealt with a leak in the roof, a leak in the kitchen sink, and a leak in my car. The roof is covered because we just got a new roof last month. The sink needed a new…

51/52

Short week of work. I took a couple days off and we drove up to Philadelphia to spend some time at the Christmas Market and visit a few favorite spots in the city. Because the wife is off work for…

50/52

Fairly uneventful week at work. Virtual holiday party, trivia, and a happy hour definitely made me feel festive though. We did our annual Northern Virginia Tacky Christmas Lights tour. Saw some great ones this year. For anybody interested, here is…

49/52

I had my last final of the semester this week. Grades were done this weekend and I got an “A” in both Cybersecurity and Identity Management; I even got 100% on my 12 page research paper. Hooray and phew! Now…

48/52

This week’s lack of much to post about brought to you by: studying for two finals and finishing a research paper. I did have a wonderful anniversary celebration with the wife this weekend though. We celebrated our 26 years of…

47/52

Short week of work because I took time off for Thanksgiving. We all drove down to North Carolina to visit my dad, aunts, and uncles. It was a reeeeal long drive on Wednesday, but worth it to see everybody on…

46/52

This week really flew by. Busy work (again), busy school (again), and just a lot of little things happening around the home front too. We had an all-hands meeting at work. One of the other managers and I hosted for…

45/52

Lots of focus on work and school this week, so I mostly just unplugged in the evenings. The wife and I have been getting up early to do longer walks with the dogs, so I’ve been physically tired as well.…

43/52

I’m really enjoying the Fall colors this week. Fall is my favorite time of year and October is my favorite month. The wife, the son, and I picked up some Philz coffee and went for a walk through Four Mile…
