Still adjusting

A usual errand of mine is mailing our mortgage check at the post office near my workplace. Today, when I went to cross it off my to-do list, I found that what I’d written was “mail rent.”

This is a typical error — after three and a half years, I still automatically think of it as the rent check.

(The maintenance, though, I know well that’s all ours. The blessing and curse of Berkeley’s weather — our grass is green, lush and growing even now, in early January… which meant we had to mow, weed and trim even now, in early January.)
