Home Improvement

I've been remiss in blogging due to the overwhelming anxiety of having to find a new home. We now have less than a month and our search has been largely unsuccessful. Finding a home with no carpeting whatsoever is almost impossible. Finding a home with a hint of character is also challenging. And the one or two houses that we have liked are either too expensive or in areas that feel like the Wild Wild West, seriously. It's a great move, moving to where there's no development, if you are investing ten years of your life here and expect to reap the benefits of starting in on the ground floor of a future sprawling neighborhood. Unfortunately, that's not in the plan book. This whole home search, coupled with my two days back in NY, make me realize more and more that I miss the East coast. The desert sucks you dry, makes you lethargic, and searching for a home in temperatures upwards of 105 degrees would make anyone cranky. Except for Brooklyn, she's still her cheery self.
