Hiking. Nothing like being out in the woods.

Going on a walk or to the park. Or reading a book.

What does your ideal home look like?

That wooden horizontal slats siding they use in the PNW. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, modest front/backyard. Near a park and some businesses. Walkable neighborhood. Dishwasher. Kitchen cabinets which don’t reach the ceiling. Not a white kitchen like they’ve been doing everywhere lately. Stainless steel appliances. 65″ 4k TV. Closet space. Overhead lightning (as opposed to needing a lamp). Basement.

All that is to say, Google “PNW house style”.

Nope. At least, not in an angry or bitter way. There are some things I’ve been sad about long-term, but I don’t consider those grudges.

Hysterectomy, mastectomy, wisdom teeth removal. If you count procedures, I had a colonoscopy.

I reuse water bottles and recycle most things. Walk and bike a lot.
