Settling In
I am still battling the post office and the Catch-22 of not having a PO Box yet, my home address being un-deliverable and invisible to computers, and trying to get my goddamn bills on autopay or at least email notification since that's the only way I can pay them, as bills sent by snail mail will vanish into the ether where apparently my house is located.
Other than that, I am LOVING country life. The blue jays are hopping around my deck right now, the deck itself is a great place to write, and I'm having a ton of fun renovating the house and garden. It turns out that I'm not quite as un-handy as I'd thought when I don't have either my father screaming at me that I'm stupid and doing it wrong or the knowledge that anything I do wrong will be deducted from my security deposit.
Yesterday I removed a hideous towel rack and a bizarre giant oval mirror which isn't even full-length, but just shows my face and a lot of shower curtain from my bathroom, using only my hands and a knife to substitute as a screwdriver as my tool kit is somewhere in Mariposa. I am going to replace them with a beautiful little wooden cabinet/towel rack which I bought at an antique shop, once I make some minor repairs to it and buy an actual screwdriver and some screws.

I am reveling in fixing up my space and solitude and trees. So many magnificent trees.
