And like childbirth, people tend to look back on moving-into-your-own-house times with more nostalgia than the event really warrants. This too, will make a good story to tell. About a year from now.

Gratuitous advice re washers: get a front-loader (easier on your clothes and water bill) on a pedestal (easier on your back); do not buy it from Lowes or Home Depot (they're big enough that manufacturers make cheaper-made versions just for them that wear out sooner), do buy from an actual appliance store. Preferably one that people recommend for their good service.

I wish you health. Also slack.
