Where is all that time going?!

Hey folks. Sorry we have been super quiet over here. Life, as is its wont, takes over and everything gets busy and all you can do is ride the wave and hope it comes in to shore. We've been to an amazing destination wedding in the redwoods (which I will absolutely write more about in the future), we bought an amazing new car that we absolutely adore, and we've flung various children at various schools, demanding they be educated.

To confuse this with even more metaphor, Dacia and I have started talking about this as "living from [emotional/intellectual/physical/temporal] paycheck to paycheck." Meaning, of course that we feel like we are spending all of our metaphorical assets just to keep the lights on and the kids well. And saying it has become relationship shorthand for "I need a break, can you help me out?"

Because of course neither of us really likes asking for help, explicitly. So we have to call it something else.

And yeah, we've been living from figurative paycheck to paycheck more than usual, as we busy up our lives with all of the things that make it worth living. But if you're worried that I'm building to a big sad reveal, I'm happy to say that isn't the case. Things have been, if not great, at least stable, good, and our lives are growing back to a new normal much closer to who we were before the accident.
