Desk

December 7, 2025 — 8:42pm

Dear Reese,

I build a desk while you nap this afternoon. A motorized sit/stand one to put in my office when the house is ready (soon). I have a walking pad at my coworking space that I’ll migrate home and hopefully continue to put to good use.

Building furniture is not my favorite task, but I’m feeling putzy and want to listen to a podcast for quiet time. I only make a couple of stupid, correctable mistakes.

Next week at this time, we could be in our new home. We’ll hopefully get an updated timeline tomorrow, but that was the original plan. It feels very unreal, but I’m ready to enter a new chapter and feel more settled again. We will both have to adjust to not having MorMor and Cappi around all the time, though. We’ve been spoiled for the past six weeks.

But we are all a little bit of a mess, too. Cappi’s recovering from surgery, you’re recovering from hand, foot, and mouth (still on that medication rotation), and MorMor and I seem to have a cold. But we’re all powering forward. Even if bedtime reminds me of your newborn days.

Love,

Mama
