We had a productive weekend around the house, installing shelves and towel racks and such, and with the bookcase mostly filled up, and only the office left unfinished, everything is looking pretty good. We ordered a rug at Home Depot, which should be in soon, and plan on hanging our framed posters and paintings tonight, which will really make us feel settled.

Every once in awhile I’d look around and think about how nice it all looks, mostly when I thought about the mirrors and wallpaper that used to be there. It feels good, after all of the work, to have it the way we want it. We’ve still got the trim and molding to paint, and blinds to install, and the bathroom light to fix, but at this point, it feels pretty good.

We had dinner in South Pasadena with a friend of Aimee’s family, and learned about all of the local intersections used in movies (Back to the Future, Teen Wolf, Caddyshack). On Sunday, we went shopping at the Mar Vista Farmer’s Market, and I went for a run for the first time in at least six weeks, which felt good, though a little sluggish. We also walked to our local Yogurtland for dessert, after Aimee’s forty days with no sweets. Mmm, Yogurtland.
