Different

Things That Are Different in Our New House, Mostly Because It’s Not a Dank Cave:

• I wake up between 6-6:30 every morning to the sight of sunlight streaming in the window.
• I come home and immediately open the front door and the patio door so I can feel the breeze.
• I made some serious smoke with the new stove last night, and it didn’t set off the fire alarms. In fact, it cleared out of the house within 10 minutes.
• I don’t have to make a special effort to see what the weather’s like before I leave the house. There’s always a window within sight.
• I saw a currawong from my desk yesterday morning. Snookums helped me identify it. Nature! Right where I can see it!

I feel like all this light and air flow are going to make such a difference to our moods and health. You should see the piles of dust (and MOLD!) we’re finding behind things at the old place. We talking Is Your House Killing You? territory, folks.
