seasoning the cast iron, organizing the new room, thinking of designs, staring out the window, feeding the sourdough, cleaning the sauerkraut, giving love and attention to the kombucha, checking my ferment, plotting to make chilero, uploading photos, feeling out my new kitchen, piling up my books, thinking about what to put on my walls, filling the bathroom cabinet, folding clothes. All the extensions of myself that transform a place into a home. My home. Im making a home for myself. Sometimes I cant believe that.
