I’m going to skip the obligatory “sorry I haven’t posted since 2016” preamble, and just say that it’s been a long five years.

Okay, so let me get this out of the way right now: I have the natural temperament of a renter. I do. I know that. I come from a state of renters, I didn’t really grow up with a homeowner’s mindset, I spent most of my adult life in apartments.
I. Call. Maintenance.
I’m not necessarily proud of this fact, but I’m also not particularly ashamed of it, either. It’s just how it is. At any given time, I’d much rather sit on my ass troubleshooting some obscure issues with bits and bytes than banging boards together in the backyard. However, as a homeowner now, there’s only so much responsibility that I can dodge before I’m rightfully drafted by basic human obligation and common sense.
