Officially moved in!

As of this morning, with an offering of fruit to the house spirits, James and I officially moved in to our hillside hut. It's been a long voyage, and we're only partly there. Despite a few minor glitches, the place is magnificent for habitation.

Tonight especially, marked by a blue moon, I appreciate James, my friends, family, and personal experiences that has led me here. As a precocious child rooted in a family's dairy farm's red dirt of Oklahoma's "Green Country" region, I stretched my imagination to believe my current life was possible.

Lazy-man's clothes line

Until the circuit breaker for the clothes dryer is fixed, I'll be drying my towels the old fashion way.

Flushers and washers

Master bathroom toilet with the new remote-controlled Toto Washlet.

Upstairs guest bathroom with our old faithful Lotus. 

Loki's (aka downstairs) bathroom. Yes, that's black electrical tape holding the ring together, exactly as we found it when we bought this place.

Cats

Bed head

At last! The headboard for master bedroom has finally arrived, without damage and the correct finish.

Wonderful water works!

I'm massively in love with my tub!

Jets: check! Touch-panel controls: check! Lights: check! Me taking a bath: this isn't a porn blog!!!
