Our middle lived through the pandemic with us. She moved home after grad school to take a much needed break and study for her boards. One year turned into four. And we got a lot done in those four years.
She traveled before the pandemic hit. She passed her boards. She found her job and has thrived. She helped me when I recovered from sinus and then rotator cuff surgeries. She got puppies and it took all of us to get them out of puppyhood and into good dogs. She built a house and moved.
As she moved her things out, we have rearranged our house.
One small change that has made a big difference, for me, is a set of shelves.
They have been in the girls’ rooms for years. Now they are in the hall, right outside our computer room, holding my genealogy binders. Very valuable use for me. The top is perfect for opening a binder to find something or file.
