WHAT I’M DOING NOW

It’s November 5th, 2025 and I’m updating this page from my favorite chair in our new home in Portugal. It’s a plush, mid-century modern mustard chair with matching foot rest. Plush perfection.

We Bought A Home

In August 2024 we finalized the purchase of our home in Portugal. I promise to make a post about the process because there’s too much to say.

We’re Legal (Residents)

It took a full year after our resident permits expired in 2024 to get our renewed permits. It was a long, ambiguous process. I’d right a post about it but the process has already changed drastically in the few months since our interviews that it wouldn’t apply. My advice, be patient and get an attorney to help if you’re feeling unsure.

Art

I am making lots and lots of art. I’m experimenting with different styles and materials. It’s fun, but not wildly satisfying YET because it doesn’t feel like I’m making loads of progress towards defining a body of work that I could show or market.

Weight Loss

I started my weight loss journey back in October 2024, and so far I’ve lost 23 pounds (10.4 kg). I feel fantastic! While my doctor would like me to lose a bit more, this size feels like ME.
