arrivals

when you haven’t posted in a while, there’s a lot of stuff built up and you don’t really know where to start so you feel like you have to wait for an event or something big so that the small things don’t feel bad that one small thing got chosen over another. small things understand their place next to big things. sometimes there are lots of big things that hit all at once like clash of the titans and you gotta just bullet-point ‘em.

big things, bullet-pointed:
- we have arrived in the new place, which is quiet. the quiet is scaring mia, poor little lamb.
- my brother and his wife arrived in time to help us move this past weekend.
- my first fifty-mile week in a while arrived two weeks ago and then we moved and i gave all the fitness back.
- the end of my 33rd year arrived; i have arrived at 33% done-with-living.
- the book arrived!

in case you’re wondering: yes! the cover is a shiny shiny silver-on-silver. you know, like the future. also, yes! it has metallic print on the inside, too. insanity.

these pictures make my thumb look fat and creepy, respectively.
